Much like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Christmas Carol, Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is a Christmas season must-see. This year, instead of just catching it on the boob tube, head down to West Springfield and watch the story of George Bailey and his guardian angel Clarence Odbody unfold live on stage.
The Majestic Theater presents It's a Wonderful Life, Joe Landry's adaptation of the original film, a play in the form of a '40s radio broadcast, complete with the trimmings of spot-on period commercials. David Mason, Amy Rist, Connie Casagrande and Barbara McEwan (from left to right) are pictured in a scene from last year's production.
Dec. 4-21, $21-24, Majestic Theater, 131 Elm St., West Springfield, (413) 747-7797, www.majestictheater.com.
