A Christmas Story, the Musical

Book by Joseph Robinette. Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story distributed by Warner Bros., written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark, and upon In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash written by Jean Shepherd.

It’s all fun and games until someone shoots their eye out or sticks their tongue on a frozen flagpole. A Christmas Story, The Musical may be set in 1940s Indiana, but the iconic cultural references from the 1983 film will ring out like the sound of a Red Ryder BB Gun to modern-day audiences. Young Ralphie Parker’s quest for a special Christmas gift, the local bullies, the Bunny suit, Christmas dinner, the list goes on (no, we didn’t forget the leg lamp). The musical garnered 3 Tony Award nominations in 2013, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. Go ahead and watch the 1983 non-musical movie every year, but you don’t want to miss the experience of enjoying an innocent and charming classic live on stage this December; it’ll be as priceless as receiving a Major Award!
