Based on the classic 1983 holiday movie, A CHRISTMAS STORY THE MUSICAL follows nine-year-old Ralphie Parker, a daydreamer from Indiana who spends his days counting down to the most exciting day in any kid’s life: Christmas. All he wants is an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle, but as his parents and teachers warn him, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” A CHRISTMAS STORY THE MUSICAL includes all the movie’s best-loved moments, such as the Old Man’s leg-shaped lamp, the tongue-on-a-flagpole, the bunny suit, and the Santa slide. Directed by Jared Watson, A Christmas Story The Musical is an adaptation of the beloved Warner Bros. movie, with songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, a book by Joseph Robinette., with choreography by Katie Dupont, and musical direction by Seth Taylor.
