Love love loved this musical. The movie on TV is a family tradition so I brought my parents to the show. We all loved it! The actor and actresses were all fabulous and their voices even better. I would see it again!
The whole musical was alive with song and dance. Very entertaining
Had an absolute blast going to the show and it inspired me to consider going to performances more often. The show wasn't too short or too long and somehow all the major themes from the movie were able to be fit in. The musical tunes were certainly catchy!!!! I'm sure the cast knows that they work hard, but their performance was great and I'm sure they work just as hard each and every show. Keep it up!
Having always considered the movie to be a cult classic, this musical is nothing short of amazing! From the sets, music and acting, this production is fun and entertaining for kids and adults. It was beautifully done and look forward to seeing it again next year.
I guess I expected more from the Walnut Street Theater, but the performers were consistently amateurish. I have seen many local theater groups that are much better. The show is entertaining, but I would still recommend to anyone who has not seen the movie - please watch the movie!! I realize a production with many children has challenges, but I am certain our area has many gifted child performers and I wonder why they did not come out or make it into this show. Music was very good and story is cute for families with kids.
The actors were incredibly talented. Timing was excellent, such a funny show that you know so well but this timeless story is reinvented in this hilarious and well done musical. You will leave singing the tunes in your head! Great music! I especially love "Ralphie to the Rescue"!
The play was full of life, the narration was spot on... a home run. My wife and I Really enjoyed it!
We really enjoyed The Christmas Story. The cast did a wonderful job, and we really enjoyed all the singing and dancing.The children in the show were so talented. It was funny and heartwarming. I would highly recommend this show.
Play was awful! Music was blah. Characters were okay.
We enjoyed the play. The boy who played Ralphie was very talented and adorable. I thought the seats were extremely uncomfortable. Zero leg room and the chairs were horrible. I left with sore knees and back..... and that is not normal for me. I also didn't appreciate the theater sending the child actors to the doors to collect donations at the end of the play. Especially Considering the price of the tickets.
8 and 5 year old Grandsons loved the show; it was first stage show for the younger one. Chris Sutton was terrific as usual, and the narrator, one of our favorites, was very good. Some aspects of the show dated, especially for youngsters.; Overall, worth the price.
Everyone who has the chance should see this Christmas classic, it was amazing, everyone single cast member was totally wonderful! Kept a smile on our faces through the whole show.
The cast was amazing! Music was so good. I wasn't sure how they coukd add Music to the orginal story but they did ! What a great job of it! We laughed so much. Great Christmas story to get you ready for the holidays!
I took my fiancé because the Christmas story is his favorite movie. And we both loved the show. The cast was amazing and really showcased the parts of the movie that make the movie. We had a great time. We recommend anyone who likes/loves the movie to go and see the show. They will not be disappointed.
Excellent comedy and cast. A great way to get into the Holiday spirit!!!
never gets old ... is a great funny story...the father and the narrator steal the show... good acting and great singing... love the walnut
The show was great, a terrific adaptation of the movie! We laughed throughout the show, reminiscing about each of the famous 'lines'.
Wonderful show, high energy. Child performers are outstanding---they add an extra charm that isn't present in many adult only productions. Highly recommend.
