This musical, which received rave reviews on its Broadway run, is
based on the movie classic that runs round-the-clock on television every Christmas. Set in the 1940s in the fictional town
of Hohman, Indiana, the musical follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts-an Official
Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn with a similar echoing response, Ralphie plots
numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun. All the iconic scenes from the movie are here: Ralphie's
friend, Flick, getting his tongue stuck to the flagpole; his brother, Randy, getting dressed in his snowsuit; the bullies,
Farkus and Dill; the leg lamp award; the bunny suit; the Chinese restaurant; Christmas dinner; and many others. The delightfully
versatile score ranges from gentle ballads to show-stopping full-ensemble numbers such as "Ralphie to the Rescue!",
"A Major Award," "Sticky Situation," "Up on Santa's Lap," "Somewhere Hovering Over
Indiana" and the inevitable "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!" A Christmas Story, The Musical will bring an exciting
new dimension to those who have seen the movie and will certainly stand on its own for those who haven't
