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 drove two hours through the country to watch this play, it was so disappointing! The whole production came of like a corny vaudeville review. The acting was over the top, the sound effects man was irritating, and the score was not very melodic and quite forgettable. Did I mention the pit orchestra and the vocals being a bit out of tune? Save your money and rent the movie version with Darren McGavin.
It was funny, spirited and well-performed. Had our family laughing out loud from ages 70+ down to 13. Great family night.
The bar is set very high for this production. People know these characters and have very specific expectations. This cast made the story their own and performed it with great joy and a sense of fun. Beyond the movie, I've read many of Jean Shepherd's books so that makes me an even tougher sell. They pulled if off! Fantastic show, go see it!
This was my first real stage performance. I found it fun and funny, and I am so glad that we went. It was entertaining, and the cast was so talented.
Excellent play. Loved all of it. The barking dogs the tire nuts flying in the air.
A great musical to 'kick-start' the holiday celebrations. Wish we could have met Peter Billingsly (the real Ralphie)
I wasn't aware that there was a Christmas Story Musical. We took the family away for a few days. There was a flyer about the Musical and I thought since we all loved the movie that it would be great to see the musical. I have a 13yr old and a 7yr old and this was their first Musical. It was a great family event. The kids are still talking about the muscial 3 days later!!
funny, entertaining, a great musical. the cast was great!
This is not high culture or even the best musical I've seen but it was funny, warm and captured the heart and spirit of the original story and movie. The cast, particularly the children, were wonderful. Spend your time and money. You won't regret it.
