Milwaukee Radio: WTMJ Holiday Show Presents "It's A Wonderful Life"

WTMJ 620 AM presents “It’s a Wonderful Life” as the 2016 “Holiday Radio Show” starring Charlie Sykes, Jeff Wagner, Gene Mueller, Greg Matzek, Wayne Larrivee and a cast of WTMJ hosts and local voices.

The show will be presented Tuesday, November 29 at Turner Hall in Milwaukee, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The radio play 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.

The radio play will also feature Packers play-by-play voice Wayne Larrivee, serving as “The Narrator.”

WTMJ hosts Gene Mueller, Jeff Wagner, John Mercure and Greg Matzek along with many well-known surprise Wisconsin celebrities will be featured.

Proceeds from the event support Kids2Kids Christmas, teaching kids the lesson of helping less fortunate kids during the holidays.
