He’s got one wish. And it could shoot an eye out.
“Some men are Baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man…”
Settle in, folks, and listen close. Because once—long ago, back when rotary phones still clicked and soap was a weapon—a boy named Ralphie Parker had a Christmas dream so big, it could only be told in song. With a harmonica in the wind and a twinkle in his eye, Ralphie schemed, pleaded, and narrowly avoided permanent blindness, all for a Red Ryder BB gun. A CHRISTMAS STORY: THE MUSICAL takes the beloved Jean Shepherd tale and cranks up the charm with high-kicking tap numbers, jingling joy, and holiday nostalgia that smells suspiciously like meatloaf and Ovaltine.
