The story of George Bailey and his wonderful life in Bedford Falls has brought hope and inspiration to every heart with its celebration of the good in all of us. The Fireside is proud to bring you this stunning, live stage version of Frank Capra’s beloved film. Written by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick, one of the creators of “Fiddler on the Roof,” and Grammy and Emmy Award winner Joe Raposo whose music from “Sesame Street” inspired generations of young people, “A Wonderful Life” captures all the magic of the film as it shines with the spirit of Christmas. Before the show, enjoy lunch featuring loaded baked potato soup, freshly baked bread, and a selection of dishes including Chicken Monterey, Grilled Salmon, Sliced Roast Beef Tenderloin, or Vegetarian Tofu Skewers. Complete your meal with Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake dessert, accompanied by coffee, tea, and milk. Purchase additional beverages on your own. Moderate walking involved with this trip.
