by bergi on 12/18/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighWe have watched the movie every year around Christmas time. We were wondering how this would be staged. We were very pleased and enjoyed this as a stage play. The actors did a excellant job with the characters.

by tcooke818 on 12/15/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighI'm one of those rare people who had never seen the movie in all of these years...I'm a "It's a Wonderful Life" type of gal" but it was done wonderfully. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

by Scottsmusic on 12/13/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighAs a former big city guy, I expected a lackluster experience of mediocre local actors, but this was absolutely NOT the case. Totally flaw free performances, great music, good audio, wow lighting and sets...this is the real deal in Raleigh!?! Maybe I should rethink this beautiful southern gem because this is BETTER than most off-Broadway shows costing twice as much! Bravo!

by 993904 on 12/13/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighOne of our favorite Christmas movies is The Christmas Story. My daughter and I were very excited to be able to go to the play. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. It followed the movie very closely and all the players were cast perfectly. It was a most enjoyable afternoon.
Rating: 4 out of 5 A Christmas Story - Movie brought to life!
by neucrew on 12/13/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighThey did a great job translating the 80's classic movie to a live stage performance. The set really supported the story. The cast was great, especially the narrator who played multi roles. The only negative was the lighting units on the stage caused an obstructed view in our front row seats. Lesson learned....sit back a few rows.

by Grammy56 on 12/13/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighMy husband and I took our 12-year-old grandson and we all thoroughly enjoyed the show. The actors were wonderful (especially the grown-up Ralph) and the production was quite good. We also like the displays outside the theater of old fashioned Christmas trees. This play is perfect for anyone wanting to do something special and fun for the holidays.

by MWEinNC on 12/13/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighThe play was well-acted, no complaints there. It would have been better, however, if the scriptwriters had followed the movie a little bit less closely - I understand that it's hard to stray much when you're dealing with something as iconic as this movie, but on the other hand it made the play almost too predictable and less enjoyable. Recommended if you haven't seen the movie.

by LifeWithLMJ on 12/10/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighRaleigh's production of A Christmas Story is not to be missed! I'm not a huge fan of the movie (my husband is), but I prefer the stage show. Cast is great! Mother and Father are spot on!! Sets are great; all kid performers fantastic. Particular fan of the little guy from DUNN. Go Harnett County! Only disappointments: no Chinese restaurant singers and "soft glow of electric sex" line not included. We truly hope that this show makes a permanent home with A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker at Progress Energy Center in December! The perfect Christmas Trio for the performing arts. A must see.

by skulgurl on 12/10/10Progress Energy Center Fletcher Opera Theatre - RaleighI was amazed at the way the scenery and action replicated the movie. All of the best scenes were included. The actorseven looked like the movie characters as well as performing like them. I thoroughly enjoyed this play.
