It’s a Wonderful Life at Grand Rivers Variety is a Wonderful Delight

My husband, Michael, and I went to see It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at the Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, Kentucky Sunday afternoon. It’s a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite movies EVER. In fact, when I watch it each year around Christmas (admittedly about 12 times), I know the lines before the characters say them. It’s one of the best movies ever made and James Stewart and Henry Travers (Clarence) never fail to amaze me.

By the way, do you recognize Gloria Graham (Violet) as being the same ADORABLE actress who was Ado Annie in Oklahoma? Love her muchly.

Oh, yeah, I could talk for two forevers about It’s a Wonderful Life. That’s why I was so anxious to see this particular tribute to the movie. I had no idea what to expect, really, I guess I thought the actors would all be sitting on stools in front of microphones – reading their lines.

I was a little bit right – but mostly wrong.

The actors and actresses did read their lines, but they were more in character as their radio star characters than the ones in the movie. It made it even more entertaining, actually.

I recommend you see this adorable and entertaining show this Christmas season. Each person involved does an outstanding job. I’ve come to expect that from the Variety! cast. Each had quite a few “characters” and “voices” to portray and they didn’t slip once.

When you go, be sure to get a seat where you can see the entire stage. You don’t want to miss what any of the actors are doing. You’ll want to keep both eyes on the lovely brunette who portrays, among others, Violet.

Go to Grand Rivers Variety and check their schedule for the next show.
