THE BEST SHOW OF THE LAST YEAR IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING! DECEMBER 3-21, 2025 HE’S GOT ONE WISH. AND IT COULD SHOOT AN EYE OUT. “Some men are Baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man…” “You should definately see A Christmas Story: The Musical at Cohoes Music Hall” - Times Union “PSC pulls out all the stops for this endearing holiday spectacle” - Nippertown “A happy theatre experience that should not be missed” - WAMC
AT COHOES MUSIC HALL
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.
