A Christmas Story doesn't disappoint
by PEECE on 11/29/12Lunt-Fontanne Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5I was a little reluctant about going to see "A Christmas Story - The Musical", being such a huge fan of the movie. (I can probably recite it by heart.) But, I decided to go and check it out. It was amazing. It was true to the heart of the movie, adding its own special touches. The muscial numbers were clever, funny, and expertly performed. The cast was unbelievable. I was particulary taken by the actor who played "the old man". He made the character his own, while being true to the original. And the role of the teacher was taken to new heights by a fabulous perfomance. The children were amazing. They were so natural, and and incredibly talented. The audience I saw it with broke into applause often during the show. We even recited some of the famous lines with the cast. And I thought it was brilliant the way they used the narrator. (And a brilliant performance!) Whether you have seen the movie 150, or have never heard of it, I would recommend you not miss this holiday event. It is the kind of show that stays with you long after you see it. Treat yourself and your family to this special holdiay gift.
