Happy Holidays!! We ALL need laughter and the feeling of Christmas with your parents!!! ( I am so sorry if you did not have a special Christmas growing up but this is the story, the dream and it will make you feel like you have now experienced it and will make new traditions in your life now) Simple pleasures with much love... Thank you to all of A Christmas Story the Musical!!!!!!!!!!

    This was a wonderful show! While I missed some parts that were left out (from the movie), all the major plot points were there. The children, especially Ralphie, were just awesome! Go grab your kids, friends, family and see A Christmas Story: the Musical. I triple dog dare you!!! :)

    Great for all ages! So much fun! Hope it becomes a yearly holiday show event

  • by Anonymous on 12/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Great for "kids" of all ages! Children actors were all very good, as were the adults. You could tell they were having as much fun as the audience. Perfect for the holiday season!

  • Christmas Story was awesome!!!!

    by LighthouseTurk on 12/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The cast was fantasic, loved the dancing, even the dogs we all loved. The story line was so true to the original story, My family looks forward to Christmas Eve when Christmas Story plays 24 hrs on TV, so to actually go to a Broadway Show and watch the in person, with great seats, was a double for us. We all will never forget this great show. After it was over, we all waited outside for pictures and autographs, they came out quick and everyone was so happy to actually chat with everyone, and take photos too. Couldn't ask for a better night, thank you so much!!

  • Won us over with the fabulous 2nd half!

    by NYWoman10016 on 12/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    We'd only seen the movie once more than a decade ago, so we'd forgotten lots of the inside jokes...but we still very much enjoyed seeing this musical. The 2nd half is definitely much stronger than the 1st (which is still enjoyable). Impressive use of real dogs! Super-talented and cute kids! The narrator (who was brilliant in "Lombardi") adds weight and poignancy to this definitely recommendable holiday show. Oh, and the hardcore lovers of the film, like the one seated next to us, were on their feet with an immediate and passionate standing ovation...We happily joined them in thanking the cast for a wonderful performance! [4 1/2 stars]

  • Great family holiday fun.

    by BboyHustle on 12/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    A wonderful musical version of the iconic film, this production has first rate singers and dancers working the snappy tunes written by Univ of Michigan grads Pasek and Paul. All your favorite scenes from the movie are here. A wonderful family show that will entertain young and old alike. Sure to become an annual event.

    Bad songs, schmaltzy, see movie instead. One of my least favorite Broadway shows in years.

  • Best Christmas show on Broadway

    by stillaglow on 12/1/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    A good friend of mine recommended that I go and see A Christmas Story. As a single woman in my 60s, I usually avoid Broadway around Holiday time. I do not like the sappy stories and the usual elves and Santa jokes. This show was such a treat! The cast was marvelous. Dan Lauria was fantastic as the narrator. Everyone in the show was perfectly cast. The bloodhounds were especially endearing. Lol Johnny Rabe but as Ralphie stole the show. His stage presence is unbelievable. John Bolton and Erin Dilly played the parents to perfection. Caroline O'Connor was hilarious as the teacher. A Christmas Story is a perfect treat for all ages. The music will have you singing your way out of the theater. What a happy way to start the holiday season.

  • Fun Time over all.

    by BMW529 on 11/30/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    I saw the show and had the movie in my head the entire time to compare it to. It held true to the plot very well, but the more elaborate musical and dance numbers took away from the simple charm of the movie. The cast did a great job bringing the movie to the stage. Ralphie should have been a blonde though, not a blondish brown.

  • Couldn't have asked for more...

    by Buddygurl on 11/30/12Lunt-Fontanne Theater - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    A Christmas Story has been my favorite movie since I first saw it in theaters, as a little girl, with my daddy sitting by my side, in 1983. While I didnt hesitate to purchase these tickets, I was nervous that the musical wouldnt live up to my high standards. Well, no reason to be nervous at all! The show was incredible. My 8 guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the show; it was such a thrill to see. Of course the musical numbers are an addition to the storyline, but they are a nice touch. I would recommend this to any 'A Christmas Story' die hard. You wont be disappointed.

  • Amazing Show, Love the movie? See the Show!

    by BumpusForPresident on 11/30/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    This show was awesome. I'm not theater maniac like many of my friends but if you love the movie then you should definitely see the show. The cast does an excellent job translating the idiosyncrasies of each character from the movie to the show! And the Bumpus dogs are hilarious!

  • A ChristmasStory: the Musical is Classic!
