It’s a Wonderful Life, set to soaring songs from the ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s, is a timeless holiday classic. With a little help from his guardian angel, Clarence, George Bailey is brought back from despair on Christmas Eve to see how he has truly touched all the people in his life.
This joyous journey to Bedford Falls has you checking for Zuzu’s petals in your own pockets and makes you believe that every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. It’s a heartwarming holiday story to share with family and loved ones.
“If you like old-fashioned charm, the kind that makes you feel all warm and runny inside, this one’s for you.” Hamilton Spectator
Audience considerations: Recommended age 9+
