A Christmas Story, The Musical brings the beloved 1983 film to hilarious life on stage. Set in 1940s Indiana, young Ralphie Parker is determined to convince everyone that his dream gift—the official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle—is exactly what he needs for Christmas. Along the way, he faces unforgettable obstacles, including an infamous glowing leg lamp, humiliating pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and the ultimate triple-dog-dare.

From the acclaimed songwriting team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land) and with a book by Joseph Robinette, this spirited stage adaptation captures the warmth, humor, and wide-eyed holiday wonder that have made the story a seasonal tradition for generations. Nominated for three 2013 Tony Awards, the musical has been praised by the Associated Press as “a joyous Christmas miracle,” while The New York Times declared, “I was dazzled.”

Bursting with nostalgic charm, quick-witted comedy, and memorable musical numbers, this festive favorite delivers heart, humor, and holiday magic for audiences of all ages.
