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!

We thoroughly enjoyed this show. Would definitely recommend to friends. It was a nice start to the holiday season.
We have been to several Christmas Story productions and this was by far the best we have seen. Loved every minute of it. Good job!
If you enjoy watching the movie every year, you will LOVE the musical. The way they incorporated the narrator and radio sound guy into the musical was fantastic. It was like watching the movie come to life before my eyes. There were a handful of differences but for the most part, it is everything you know and love from the 1983 Christmas classic. The music was entertaining, the cast was outstanding. I would love to make this a yearly Christmas tradition for my family.
Hilarious! Such talented Children, better than the movie!
It was fun, and had me smiling the entire time. I think having young kids do most of the acting made it extra special, but it was an adult show that kids would also enjoy. Ralphie and the rest of the kids cast were great, and Ralphie's Mom and Dad were amazing and had tons of energy. The stage was well done, the narrator and sound effects guys were part of the show too - it was 2.5 hours of FUN!
A Christmas Story followed the movie but with added fun via the singing and dancing. The actors were very good and the children's talent will wow you. A lot of fun and appropriate for all ages. A great way to start your holiday season.
Excellent performance by the whole cast, but especially the kid the portrayed the main character Ralphie was amazingly talented!
The Christmas Story was a great way to begin the holiday season.
BEAUTIFUL Theater Amazing production All those kids were fantastic! The adults were great, too! Orchestra very good
A Christmas Story was amazing. All actors did a wonderful job. The children played their parts well. It was a great way to start my holiday season. My family really enjoyed it.....thanks for bringing it to Hershey PA...
Wonderful holiday musical - great music and excellent acting. The young actor playing Ralphie was sensational as were all the young cast.
The show was absolutely wonderful and the actors were great.
A bit of a slow start, but it kept getting better and better as it went on. By the end, i was ready to see it again !
One of the best musicals I've seen! I couldn't imagine how they'd make the movie into a musical. I enjoyed it better than the movie. The acting was superb!
Truly a smashing rendition of this classic TV movie. The music is to die for and every member of the cast was amazing! The children's ensemble was outstanding. Ralphie was super - and the understudy at that!
This was a great musical. The children that were casted for this musical were amazing and very talented. There were some great points of humor, but there were mushier and more touchy feely moments in the musical than what was in the movie. The musical had a very positive message at the end which really put you in the Christmas spirit. The story line was very close to the movie, but I think that they left some important parts out. Overall, I still enjoyed it and would most definitely see it again. I recommend this to any “A Christmas Story” movie lovers or just anyone who enjoys a good musical.
A Christmas Story: the Musical was absolutely one of the best plays we have ever seen. Broadway level without a doubt, top notch cast, so incredibly entertaining for everyone in my family from my 7 year old up to my 45 year old husband! It was an awesome way to kick in the holiday season!
GREAT!! A wonderful adaptation of the classic Jean Shepherd story. Very well done. The actors all had great singing voices and the music was right on target for the theme. The singers, the sets, and the entire production surpassed my expectations. I would certainly attend this performance again, hopefully with additional family members, for all to enjoy. Very entertaining production.
We were completely engaged throughout the production. Music was memorable and enjoyable. I would thoroughly recommend you see this production and hope it comes to Broadway.
real nice enjoyable cute play worth the time recommend for children
