A Christmas Story

A Christmas Story at Fisher Theatre - MI

Ralphie has a problem. He knows exactly what he wants for Christmas, and absolutely nobody seems willing to agree with him. A Christmas Story, The Musical turns that glorious childhood frustration into a live comedy about big dreams, stubborn adults and a family trying to survive December. If you know the 1983 movie, you already understand why a Red Ryder BB gun can feel like the center of the universe to a nine-year-old boy.

A childhood Christmas wish can feel more important than anything else in the world. A Christmas Story, The Musical brings that feeling to the stage through Ralphie's determination to get a Red Ryder BB gun. Music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul join Joseph Robinette's book in a musical adaptation of Jean Shepherd's stories and the 1983 film.

On Wednesday, December 23 at 7:30 PM, Detroit's Fisher Theatre gives the story a new voice through music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Joseph Robinette's book draws from Jean Shepherd's tales, keeping the humor grounded in a child's wonderfully unreasonable logic. Bring the person who watches the film with you every year, or introduce someone new to Ralphie's world. Take a look at tickets and make the night before Christmas Eve a celebration of the wishes we never quite forget.
