This Sunday on Vintage Classic Radio’s “Sunday Night Playhouse,” we are delighted to bring you a special presentation of the “Lux Radio Theatre” radio show with the beloved holiday classic, “Miracle on 34th Street,” which originally aired on December 20, 1948. Set in New York City during the festive Christmas season, this heartwarming tale follows the story of Kris Kringle, a kind elderly man who claims to be the real Santa Claus. During the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Kris steps in for an indisposed Santa and soon becomes a sensation with the shoppers and staff of the store. However, his claim to be Santa leads to a court case where both his sanity and the very spirit of Christmas are at stake. The episode stars Edmund Gwenn reprising his Academy Award-winning film role as Kris Kringle, along with Maureen O’Hara as Doris Walker, a no-nonsense Macy’s executive, and John Payne as Fred Gailey, the lawyer and neighbor who defends Kris. Natalie Wood also stars as Susan Walker, Doris’s little girl, who learns to believe in the magic of Christmas. Join us for an evening of magic and belief that will surely put you in the Yuletide spirit.
