Die Hard: The Live Radio Play

ComedyCity Theatre puts a new twist on the holiday classic, Die Hard

Yippie Ki Yay! Experience the action, suspense, and iconic moments of the classic 1988 action film *Die Hard* in a way you’ve never seen (or heard) before! Join us for a thrilling live radio play that brings the pulse-pounding story of John McClane to life with a nostalgic nod to old-time radio shows, with a modern twist.

In this unique production, performers will dramatically read from a specially adapted script. ComedyCity’s own Jim Lauer will bring all the heart-pounding sound effects – explosions, helicoptors, gunfire – to life using just his voice.

Follow the story of NYPD officer John McClane as he battles a group of highly organized bad guys, led by the cunning Hans Gruber, who have taken hostages at the Nakatomi Plaza during a Christmas Eve party. Will he thwart Gruber’s nefarious plot?

Relive the excitement and clever one-liners of this beloved holiday-action classic, reimagined in a format that will transport you to the golden age of radio while keeping you on the edge of your seat with live, contemporary flair. Don’t miss this immersive experience that brings cinematic nostalgia and live theater together for two nights at the ComedyCity Theatre.

PLEASE NOTE: The dialogue is fairly true to the original script, and as such, is intended for mature audiences.
