A Christmas Story

Why see A Christmas Story?

A Christmas Story first appeared on Broadway in 2012 to much acclaim, following a highly successful debut in Seattle in 2010. The production was nominated for three 2013 Tony awards, including Best Musical and Best Score.

This year, the family favorite festive treat returns to New York City to reunite its original Broadway cast and retell the hilarious story of the bespectacled (and mischievous!) Ralphie and his quest to secure the ultimate Christmas gift for himself: an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

Dan Lauria plays Jean Shepherd once again while the lead role of Ralphie is yet to be announced following an exciting set of open auditions.

The show is amazing, better than the TV Live version or the movie. I can understand why this show was nominated for a Tony. Everything from the acting, singing to the dancing was flawless.

LOVED IT!!

A wonderful show and great entertainment! The set was very well done and clever. The Old Man Character, Chris Swan, was absolutely hilarious! But hands down the children in the show are stunning, so talented and amazing, especially the boy who played Ralphie, Tommy Druhan, for our show! He gave such a performance and wonderful voice. Fun for the whole family! ... Read more
