A Christmas Story: The Musical

ABOUT

A Christmas Story: The Musical is a stage adaptation of the beloved 1983 film, based on Jean Shepherd’s semi-autobiographical stories. Set in 1940s Indiana, the musical follows nine-year-old Ralphie Parker, who dreams of receiving a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. As he navigates childhood obstacles like bullies, schoolyard dares, and a strict teacher, Ralphie’s holiday quest unfolds with warmth and humor. His vivid daydreams and quirky family—including his gruff but loving father and gentle mother—add to the heartwarming nostalgia of the story.

The musical blends catchy songs, lively dance numbers, and Shepard’s signature narration to capture the spirit of a classic American Christmas. Standout moments include the hilarious “Ralphie to the Rescue” fantasy sequence, the leg lamp fiasco, and the infamous tongue-to-the-flagpole scene. With a score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, A Christmas Story: The Musical celebrates childhood wonder, family traditions, and the timeless message that sometimes, the best gifts are the ones we never expect.
