The station will present It’s a Wonderful Life as its 2016 “Holiday Radio Show.” The show is set for Tuesday, November 29 at Turner Hall in Milwaukee, beginning at 6:30 p.m. It will be recorded in front of a live studio audience and replayed on-air throughout the Christmas Season on 620 WTMJ and at WTMJ.com. Charlie Sykes will star in the lead role of “George Bailey.” The re-written play will have Sykes explore life without his WTMJ radio show. After 23 years on-air at WTMJ, Sykes recently announced he is stepping away from his daily show at the end of December. In addition to WTMJ hosts, the show will feature some surprise celebrities.
Tickets are $25 (general admission seats) and go on sale at Pabsttheater.org and WTMJ.com on Friday, October 14. Proceeds from the event support Kids2Kids Christmas, which is WTMJ’s and Kapco Metal Stamping’s annual charity drive, teaching kids the lesson of helping less fortunate kids during the holidays.
