Why see A Christmas Story?

A Christmas Story first appeared on Broadway in 2012 to much acclaim, following a highly successful debut in Seattle in 2010. The production was nominated for three 2013 Tony awards, including Best Musical and Best Score.

This year, the family favorite festive treat returns to New York City to reunite its original Broadway cast and retell the hilarious story of the bespectacled (and mischievous!) Ralphie and his quest to secure the ultimate Christmas gift for himself: an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

Dan Lauria plays Jean Shepherd once again while the lead role of Ralphie is yet to be announced following an exciting set of open auditions.

Perfection, Streamlined, Honest

This intimate theatre was perfect for this perfect comedian. His writing and presentation was flawless.. He reflects an honesty of our human species which quickly disarms the hearts of the audience. I felt like I’d just had a heart to heart with “Uncle James”, who’d humorously disclosed his personal feelings about growing up. It takes great skill to cleverly and clearly communicate private insights of one’s own journey through life, and most certainly courage. James Acaster does it all. He is an extremely talented storyteller for any age group. His ability to use such effective body language and his facial expressions are so entertaining, his anecdotes immediately engage his listeners. He needed absolutely nothing else but himself on stage except the simple black background. No distractions. Good decision. He was that good. Comfortable, intimate seating allowed the audience to fully enjoy his show. This classy comedian is a joy to see in person! Perfect evening! ... Read more
