My family and I are big fans of the movie A Christmas Story and watch it every year. I was introduced to this movie when I was just a little girl and I look forward to it with incredible excitement.
The cast for the play was phenomenal. They highlighted the "top" scenes with great accuracy. I wondered how this movie would be as a play and I have not one single complaint. Kudos to the cast for making the movie come to life for me and everyone in the audience.

Our family enjoyed this play for our Christmas activity. The pre show music act was great! It really put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Great addition to the play. The acting was great. We have seen this play before and this was the best performance and set we have seen. We enjoyed the music being played outside after the play and the lights. Wonderful way to spend an evening.

The set, the narrator, the costumes and the actors were stupendous! No improvements necessary. Absolutely Amazing--my mother and 4 year old daughter loved it also!
The theater hostess did not actually seat us so when we got to the seats, there were 3 in Row C and none in Row E--our row. 20 min into the show a different hostess came the row to seat 2 people in their seat and asked 2 of us to get up and move to Row F. We said no and she seated them back there. At intermission we found that the same lady has misseated the people in our seats which caused the whole problem. I ended up missing a scene with her distractions! We all sat in our seats for act 2.

We were amazed at how they were able to include all the memorable scenes from the movie, with all the scene changes that that involved! The child actors all seemed completely natural, but I think my favorite actor was the mom, who had the right combination of "frazzled female" and "smart cookie".

My family all liked the show, actors, sets etc. However, the one big distraction was the narrator. He should have been off stage. He was in the way of the actors and the stage and took away from our complete enjoyment of the show. The narrator should have been backstage.

Anyone who knows A Christmas Story will laugh and love it as they see their favorite scenes acted out on stage. For anyone who doesn't know it, go see it, you will have a great time. The actors and actresses all did a wonderful job bringing the story alive and capturing all the hilarity!

I am glad I went to see the new show, but I feel it will be far more popular with families with children. I liked the original movie so much that I just had to see the play.
The children in the play were really wonderful...applause, applause. The Dad was the weakest link.
If you produce this every year, I won't be an attenedee. But don't let that stop you. Just focus on the idea of a family outing to see it.

Several of my family members have scenes from the movie memorized. We saw the play and loved it. They even managed to allude to the Bumpus's dogs - wondered how that would be handled - and suggest a car on stage for the "Oh F-u-d-g-e" scene. The only thing we missed was the Chinese restaurant version of Deck The Halls and the chopping off of the duck's head. Liked the addition of a love interest for Ralphie. Would recommend the show for mixed generation groups of theater-goers. It is not easy to bring a well-known movie to the stage. Bravo to the splendid team of actors!

Some cute moments, creative staging, and pretty much does faithfully adhere to the cult classic movie. But some features of the production are annoying and distracting. Why is there focus on a very irritating sub-plot of a persistent and snooty female classmate trying to establish a romance with Ralphie ? Why is the narrator on stage and not simply heard somewhere unseen as in the movie ? Also too bad the Chinese restaurant scene is completely omitted. Worst of all, the role of Ralphie is badly miscast. This kid looks six feet tall and about 14 years old and even at his most animated, shows almost flat affect throughout. In the movie, Peter Billingsley's characterization of Ralphie is clearly that of an 8 or 9-year old little boy who is irresistably full of life in everything he says and does. In the local production, 3 roles deserve mention as commendable : the mother ; the teacher ; and Ralphie's little brother.

Even though it was something that is viewed on television stations during the Christmas season, it was refreshing to see it live on stage. Very well done!
