About this event

25th anniversary of Chicago’s holiday smash hit! Filled with heartwarming storytelling, music, and some very special surprises.

George Bailey – the Everyman from small town Bedford Falls whose dreams of escape and adventure were stopped by family obligation and civic duty – has fallen onto desperate times. Only a miracle can save him from despair. This warm “holiday favorite makes the bell ring every time.” ( Chicago Tribune )

For 25 years, American Blues has treated audiences to a live retelling of the Frank Capra classic in a 1940s radio broadcast tradition, making It’s a Wonderful Life: Live in Chicago! the second longest-running holiday play in Chicago!
