Photos: A CHRISTMAS STORY- THE MUSICAL At CM Performing Arts

See first look photos of CM Performing Arts Center's current running production of A Christmas Story the Musical, running on the Main Stage in The Noel S. Ruiz Theatre.

This musical is based on the movie classic that runs round-the-clock on television every Christmas. Set in the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the musical follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts—an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn with a similar echoing response, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun.

All the iconic scenes from the movie are here: Ralphie’s friend, Flick, getting his tongue stuck to the flagpole; his brother, Randy, getting dressed in his snowsuit; the bullies, Farkus and Dill; the leg lamp award; the bunny suit; Christmas dinner; and many others. The delightfully versatile score ranges from gentle ballads to show-stopping full-ensemble numbers such as “Ralphie to the Rescue!”, “A Major Award,” “Sticky Situation,” “Up on Santa’s Lap,” “Somewhere Hovering Over Indiana” and the inevitable “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!” 

A Christmas Story opened this past weekend to a completely sold out audience. It's strongly encouraged to purchase your tickets in advance for remaining performance dates.

For tickets, call the Box Office during office hours at 631-218-2810 or visit: https://www.cmpac.com/shows/a-christmas-story/.
