    Well done, great talent. Followed the story very well. The only thing I missed was the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin.

  • Phenomenal Show!

    by Jay W on 1/1/22DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 5 out of 5

    A Christmas Story The Musical take a timeless Christmas classic and brings it to life in a way that draws you in from the very beginning. The story was incredibly well told and the songs accentuated the story in a way that truly made it a magical experience. This has always been one of my favorite movies, and was blown away with how well the musical was done!

  • I loved it!

    by DPAC Newbie on 12/31/21DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamRating: 4 out of 5

    It was my family's first time at DPAC and we were all very impressed with how organized things were - from parking to all the good covid protocols in place. The only thing that I wished had been better were our seats. (Which is not anyone's fault of course!) Because we were far up in section 9, we couldn't see any details of the actor's faces, costumes, set designs or other things that would have enhanced the experience. I found myself wishing for a screen (jumbotron!) of sorts. Lesson learned!

  • More then i could've asked for

    by NICKI on 12/29/21Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreRating: 5 out of 5

    I took my 7 year old daughter here knowing she would love it and i was correct. She didn't want to miss a second of it. I didn't think id like it because it was a musical but I enjoyed it just as much as she did. We liked it so much I booked for Cinderella during intermission.

  • Worth every penny

    by Will S on 12/28/21Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreRating: 5 out of 5

    Adorable, funny, timeless tale. Such a wonderful play. Was lucky enough to have seen this play before the movie. Every cast member was perfect.

  • I can't believe I actually liked it BETTER than the movie

    by Jenn on 12/27/21Rating: 5 out of 5

    I have watched A Christmas Story the movie every year of my life since the 80s so when I found out it was a musical, I was pretty skeptical. My mind has been totally changed. This musical has all the elements of the movie, is just as hysterical but has incredible song and dance numbers added. The tap number in particular was incredible and so memorable. The cast is top notch including the kids who are so incredibly talented. I loved seeing Asian, Hispanic and Bi-racial cast members added as the last 2 are not in the movie. I felt the entire production from the orchestra, to the cast, sets, the adorable dogs and songs were just what we needed this holiday season. RUN to see this show before the it's over. You won't regret it.

  • Wonderful show! Actors were amazing! So fun!

  • FANTASTIC

  • Christmas Story at the Hippodrome

    by Katie on 12/26/21Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreRating: 5 out of 5

    Had a wonderful time seeing a Christmas Story 12/23 at the Hippodrome. The show was amazing and captured all the memorable scenes from the movie. It definitely was a fun holiday adventure!

  • You'll Put Your Eye Out!

    by Todd B. on 12/25/21Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreRating: 5 out of 5

    After having watched about 20 minutes of "A Christmas Story" live on Fox a couple of years ago, I was a little concerned that this would underwhelm. Thankfully, I was wrong. "A Christmas Story, The Musical" was absolutely wonderful. It was the perfect holiday play. What was even more interesting was, as a musical about Christmas, there were no Christmas carols in the show (until the last scene), but that didn't matter. The amount of Christmas "cheer" that comes out of this play is every bit as good as the movie. The song and dance numbers make it even better! The Hippodrome is a wonderful theatre for a play. This was our second time going there for a play, and Wells be back sooner or later for more. Thanks for a wonderful Christmas play! I would totally recommend that you go see this! 🎅🎄

  • Replaced Lead Actor

    by o85o on 12/25/21Boch Center Wang Theatre - BostonRating: 3 out of 5

    This musical was cute. We happened to book the last showing on a Sunday but unfortunately they used an alternative fill-in actor for Ralphie--the lead role, and he looked nothing like him. The actor previously used in the show was a spitting image of the character, and well seasoned. The actor thay filled in had black hair and sang like the boy version of Annie but on a Nick Jr show. Disappointing. Felt ripped off honestly. Had i known i would have skipped it.

  • 4 1/2 stars - terrific performances all around.

    by Will S on 12/25/21Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreRating: 4 out of 5

    Most adorable kids. Heart warming. Perfect performances all around. I had never seen the movie. Afterwards, I watched the movie. I will remember the play most of all.

  • Very entertaining

    by grammyjk on 12/25/21Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreRating: 4 out of 5

    I was a little skeptical about how they would turn this iconic movie into a stage play. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very well done. The narrator was great and the songs were good. They included all of the important scenes from the movie. It was funny and we really enjoyed it.
