Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Megan Hilty to Star in It's a Wonderful Life on Broadway

Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Megan Hilty, Andrew Rannells, and Tituss Burgess will all return to Broadway in It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at the Broadhurst Theatre.

It’s a Wonderful Life runs November 4-January 3. Opening night is November 18.

Directed by Jerry Zaks, the 1996 play by Joe Landry is a regional staple making its Broadway debut. Inspired by the short story The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern (not to mention the iconic Frank Capra film), the work takes place in a recording studio, where five actors bring the timeless story of George Bailey to life as a 1940s radio play, complete with a foley artist, holiday carols, and all the trimmings.

Rannells heads the company as George Bailey, alongside Burgess as Clarence, Hamlin as Mr. Potter, Hilty as Mary Bailey, and Rinna as Violet. The design team includes Santo Loquasto (sets and costumes), Kenneth Posner (lighting), and Palmer Hefferan (sound). Andy Einhorn is musical director.
