Photo Flash: American Blues Ensemble Presents IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, LIVE IN CHICAGO

By: A.A. Cristi Nov. 18, 2016

For 15 years, the American Blues Ensemble has treated Chicago audiences to a live 1940s radio broadcast of holiday favorite It's a Wonderful Life. The incredible cast recreates the entire town of Bedford Falls with Foley sound effects, an original score and holiday carols.

The Bedford Falls "residents" extend their hospitality after every performance when audiences are treated to milk and cookies served by the cast.
