The cast was great and the show very entertaining. The venue is a nice size to enjoy the production.
Actors deeply invested in their roles. A play with great music and skilled singers. The children in the play did really well. A wonderful tribute to families, siblings and parenting, showcasing a little more form the book than what’s in the movie. Overall a great experience.
This was a beautiful show. My kids had a great time. We love it !
Loved the show and the performers. Lots of laughs and smiles. We were able to see all of the production from our seats. The snack line moved a bit slowly at intermission but all around a great experience!
It was very entertaining. We enjoyed the play very funny and the singing was awesome. Great performance would love to see again next year.
The parking lot is right next to theatre. Theatre was clean and beautiful. The cast was fantastic, sooo much talent for kids. The props and stage scenes were out of this world. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loved the movie/book or looking to watch a holiday play. Well done!!
I bought tickets because my husband LOVED Jean Shepperd and has always loved the movie version of "A Christmas Story". We both absolutely loved this production, and my husband said that he felt that it was even better than the movie. Very high praise indeed! A highly recommended show for children and adults of all ages!
My family and I are big fans of the movie A Christmas Story and watch it every year. I was introduced to this movie when I was just a little girl and I look forward to it with incredible excitement. The cast for the play was phenomenal. They highlighted the "top" scenes with great accuracy. I wondered how this movie would be as a play and I have not one single complaint. Kudos to the cast for making the movie come to life for me and everyone in the audience.
This was a surprise for our seventeen year old son. He absolutely LOVED it. The cast did a marvelous job and the narrator was spot on!
This is the third production of A Christmas Story I have seen and is by far, the best!
Our family enjoyed this play for our Christmas activity. The pre show music act was great! It really put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Great addition to the play. The acting was great. We have seen this play before and this was the best performance and set we have seen. We enjoyed the music being played outside after the play and the lights. Wonderful way to spend an evening.
The set, the narrator, the costumes and the actors were stupendous! No improvements necessary. Absolutely Amazing--my mother and 4 year old daughter loved it also! The theater hostess did not actually seat us so when we got to the seats, there were 3 in Row C and none in Row E--our row. 20 min into the show a different hostess came the row to seat 2 people in their seat and asked 2 of us to get up and move to Row F. We said no and she seated them back there. At intermission we found that the same lady has misseated the people in our seats which caused the whole problem. I ended up missing a scene with her distractions! We all sat in our seats for act 2.
We were amazed at how they were able to include all the memorable scenes from the movie, with all the scene changes that that involved! The child actors all seemed completely natural, but I think my favorite actor was the mom, who had the right combination of "frazzled female" and "smart cookie".
My family all liked the show, actors, sets etc. However, the one big distraction was the narrator. He should have been off stage. He was in the way of the actors and the stage and took away from our complete enjoyment of the show. The narrator should have been backstage.
it was beautiful, exactly what I want to do for the hectic Christmas schedule, relax and watch a great play. Thank you
I thought it was the perfect family event. It had all the classic lines that the movie had. We loved meeting some of the kids from the cast in the lobby.
Anyone who knows A Christmas Story will laugh and love it as they see their favorite scenes acted out on stage. For anyone who doesn't know it, go see it, you will have a great time. The actors and actresses all did a wonderful job bringing the story alive and capturing all the hilarity!
I am glad I went to see the new show, but I feel it will be far more popular with families with children. I liked the original movie so much that I just had to see the play. The children in the play were really wonderful...applause, applause. The Dad was the weakest link. If you produce this every year, I won't be an attenedee. But don't let that stop you. Just focus on the idea of a family outing to see it.
My husband loves the movie version of this story, so we decided to give the stage version a try too. Wonderful job!
A totally enjoyable evening, excellent show. So much fun for all ages.
