After completing the form, make an appointment for an audition time (beginning after dance call). Please be prepared to enter possible rehearsal conflicts when uploading information.

Based on the beloved 1946 film, this musical faithfully follows George Bailey’s life from his childhood dreams to his midlife disappointments and beyond, as audiences take a journey to discover whether George’s life has mattered at all. Cinematically scored and theatrically staged, this adaptation breathes musical life into a familiar story, while retaining the warmth, humor, and pathos of the original. A new holiday classic for devotees and newcomers alike.
