A Christmas Story: the Musical December 14, 2011

America's #1 Christmas movie comes to life on stage as a hilarious holiday musical. Based on the writings of radio humorist Jean Shepherd, 'A Christmas Story' chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way towards the holiday gift of his dreams -- a Red Ryder Action Air Rifle BB Gun. ("You'll shoot your eye out kid!") A kooky leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a double-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between young Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Produced by the film's original Ralphie, Peter Billingsley, 'A Christmas Story, The Musical!' features a bright holiday score by composer/lyricist team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, a hilarious book by Joseph Robinette. It's a perennial holiday classic that will entertain the whole family.
