“Something fun, festive, hilarious, delightful and heartwarming is happening at the Ahmanson… a warm, old-timey, Broadway hug!” -- South Pasadenan 

“A true gift! A sparkling adaptation with a surefire charmer of a score.” -- New York Magazine 

“I was dazzled.” -- The New York Times 

“Joyous! A musical that dares mess with one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time and yet manages not only to do the film justice but top it. It’s a charming triumph of imagination.” -- Associated Press 

From the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the critically acclaimed films La La Land and The Greatest Showman, A Christmas Story, The Musical, brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage! Set in 1940s Indiana, a young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder® toy BB gun. An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Nominated for three 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical, the Associated Press calls A Christmas Story, The Musical “a joyous Christmas miracle,” while The New York Times writes “I was dazzled. You’d have to have a Grinch-sized heart not to feel a smile spreading across your face.” 

Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story distributed by Warner Bros., written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark, and upon In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash written by Jean Shepherd. Produced with the permission of Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and Dalfie Entertainment.
