Tickets Now On Sale for Classic Holiday Tale A Christmas Story, The Musical
Talk about a perfect holiday gift! Tickets are now available for the A Christmas Story, The Musical, the upcoming Broadway adaptation of the 1983 Christmastime favorite. With music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and a book by Joseph Robinette, the John Rando-directed production is set to begin performances on November 5 and open officially on November 19.

Based on the classic holiday film of the same name, A Christmas Story is the tale of Ralphie, a boy who has only one wish for Christmas: a Red Ryder BB gun.
