Theatre 121’s A Christmas Story

A heartwarming and humorous adaptation of the beloved holiday film. Set during the 1940s in the imaginary town of Hohman, Indiana, “A Christmas Story: The Musical” centers on the adventures of 9-year-old Ralphie Parker. Ralphie’s greatest Christmas wish is to receive an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Despite hearing the constant refrain of “You’ll shoot your eye out,” Ralphie devises various plans to obtain his dream BB gun. The musical reimagines classic scenes from the original film, including Ralphie’s pal Flick getting his tongue stuck to a flagpole, his brother Randy struggling into his snowsuit, confrontations with bullies Farkus and Dill, the infamous leg lamp, the bunny suit, the Parker family’s Christmas dinner, and more. The musical’s score, with standout numbers like “Ralphie to the Rescue!” and “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out,” adds musical flair to these memorable moments. Whether you’re familiar with the movie or not, “A Christmas Story: The Musical” offers a fresh and entertaining perspective on a timeless holiday.
