It's A Wonderful Life with Hilty, Rannells, Burgess, coming to the Broadhurst

seeing multiple reports about It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry coming to the Broadhurst for a limited holiday run and the mystery show Megan Hilty is teasing is that. I would assume she would play Mary Bailey?

I know the play is produced alot in regional. It's actually playing by me soon at a local theatre. Anyone seen a local production or have any thoughts?

I mentioned this in the other thread, but George (rumored to be Andrew Rannells) and Mary (Megan Hilty?) are not the star roles here. There's a role for Freddie Filmore, the radio show host, who takes on about forty of the supporting roles in the story and frequently plays scenes opposite himself. If you get a comedian or a major voice actor like Hank Azaria in that role, it's a dark horse Tony contender for supporting actor.

I worked on a local production a few years ago. It's a cute show, warm and fuzzy for the holiday season. I would consider the role of Clarence, the angel trying to earn his wings by helping out George, to be another major role. I'm not sure Mary Bailey is a big enough role for someone like Megan Hilty.

Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna are in the cast along with Rannells, Hilty, and Burgess.

How strange.

A very WJP Mad Libs production indeed

I know this will be categorized as a play revival (this adaptation is widely produced regionally), but the Tonys should really consider bringing back the unique theatrical event category.

JELLICLE BALL SHOULD STILL BE RUNNING!!!!

…okay, that’s out of my system.

I expect this to be cute but nothing more. This cast feels like a weird assemblage though

Having seen a regional production, "cute" is the perfect word for it

This has 1pm matinee's on Wednesday, what's the likelihood I could do 1pm this and then 3pm Oh Mary the week of Thanksgiving. Anyone know what the runtime of this, or what it usually is? TIA.

For a glorified staged reading. I’ll pass.

And this is exactly what will get me in to see this.
