Ralphie Parker wants only one thing for Christmas: An Official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle. A Christmas Story, The Musical is the hilarious account of Ralphie’s desperate quest to ensure that this most perfect of gifts ends up under his tree this Christmas.
Directed by Tony Award®-winner John Rando and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, this new Broadway musical based on the classic 1983 movie, which itself was based on stories by legendary radio humorist Jean Shepherd, features funny and heartfelt songs by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul and a faithful yet inventive book by Joseph Robinette.
The New York Times says, “I WAS DAZZLED” and the Associated Press calls it, “A CHARMING TRIUMPH INFUSED WITH UTTER JOY.” A Christmas Story captures holiday wonder with such deliciously wicked wit that it is sure to delight children and grown-ups alike!
“THE BEST DARN MUSICAL I’VE SEEN IN YEARS!” – WOR Radio
“A TRUE GIFT!” – New York Magazine
“Run fast and get your tickets.” - WNBC
Overall the show was amazing. I enjoy every show I have gone to. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good. Most of the meats were dry as well as the cake and the pasta was over cooked. The waiter was great.
Not a powerful Broadway production, but extremely well performed despite the script. Lots of subtle themes. Great cast. Orchestra was a little weak.
It was such a great way to tie in to the movie, but yet be a stand alone experience.
This show was absolutely amazing and worth every single penny I paid. I’m a huge fan of the movie so wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it blew me away. The acting was superb, singing was phenomenal, the songs were perfect and I found myself singing Ralphie to the Rescue the next day. A+++++++++
Incredibly entertaining show! The cast was very talented, loved all of the musical pieces and the clever way they worked in the narration... and it did not disappoint on hitting all of the key scenes from the movie.
We wondered how they would make the movie into a musical. Fantastic job. Very fun outing for all ages
We had great seats at the Fox the sound effects were great the whole experience was very enjoyable
A wonderful musical that got us filled with the Christmas tradition. A few changes from the movie, but only Make the story better.
It’s hard to make such a classic movie into a musical, but I think they did a great job at picking the important scenes. The music in the first act dragged a bit but was better in the second act. I’m not sure it was worth $98 per ticket but it was an enjoyable evening.
The Fox Detroit is beautiful and a great venue. We were blown away with the Ralphie role and know this musical will be an annual outing. Thank you for the special experience.
The performance was fantastic. We enjoyed the beautiful voices, music/orchestra, stage settings and the live dogs!
Loved the Musical. Love Fox Theater. It was a bit of a hassle before the show. They don't seat you soon enough, the show started late.
didn't think it was possible but it was fantastic. they added a few things without taking away any of the story and even included the dogs! highly recommend; it was so much fun.
However I still prefer the original movie! The musical numbers were great but I just couldn't enjoy it like the movie.
This show was absolutely the movie all over again. Every person that played a character in the show was incredible. they made you feel like you were their celebrating Christmas Story on stage with them. This is a show well worth seeing. Enjoy and Merry Christmas
Save your money. This is a great story, but not a musical. It seemed like they were trying to find some spots to insert songs. Nahh, not worth it. It was more like a High School performance.
Highly recommend this wonderful production of a favorite Christmas story!
True to the movie, I was happily surprised with the play. I wasn’t sure how it would translate into a musical but I ended up loving it! Great casting, especially the narrator, Ralphie, and his Dad. The tap dancing scene was amazing-the one boy was incredible. It was a perfect date the week before Christmas. Definitely recommend it!
My daughter who is 18 years old LOVED it! My husband and I enjoyed it.
Well below average! Bad acting and singing Seemed like a high school production Probably ok for young kids
