One endearing feature of this play is the attention accorded to the world of childhood.
#Charles schwartz backdropd movie
The ensemble of talented singing kids delights in "When You're A Whimp." We return to the yard in "Sticky Situation," which fans of the movie will remember well. On the schoolyard, Ralphie introduces us to Schwartz and Flick. Ralphie's singing is consistently spectacular he leads song and dance numbers with extraordinary aplomb and is clearly a major talent. This production showcases seriously talented child actors. While Ralphie pines for that Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun, the adults harbor their own Christmas wishes: A wife who can cook, and a child who gets straight A's, to name some unrealistic examples. "It All Comes Down to Christmas" sets the stage for optimistic holiday expectations – in some cases too optimistic.

This musical delights with a series of phenomenal song and dance numbers. Like the movie, the musical tempers the nostalgia with plenty of laughs. The action is narrated as a radio program describing the Christmas in which Ralphie Parker comes to understand his parents in a new, appreciative light. The premise of A Christmas Story is a comic retelling of Christmas from the perspective of a child – specifically, a boy obsessed with obtaining a heavily advertised BB Gun. This touring production presents a phenomenal showcase of talent, choreography, and scene and costume design.
This adaptation preserves the movie's highlights – the leg lamp, the dropped lug nut imbroglio, the frozen flagpole mishap, and the bunny PJs are all here. The musical was nominated for three 2013 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
