Anybody who has a weakness for heart-melting holiday movies knows the famous Ralphie who wants a BB Gun for Christmas. What many don’t know, however, is that A Christmas Story has been made into a musical! Yes, that’s right, a musical. If that isn’t exciting enough, there’s a possibility that it can make its debut on Broadway. But, because the theater business is so competitive and risky (like Zachary F. mentioned in his blog, “Bonnie and Clyde the Musical… An Epic Failure”) it is still very unclear as to what the future holds for this musical.

Fortunately, A Christmas Story the Musical!, has gotten relatively positive reviews from its five-city tour, and has the appeal of the holiday season, which makes it likely to fall in the footsteps of shows such as “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “Elf”, which have had seasonal runs on Broadway . I hope that this musical becomes a success and achieves the greater goal, which is to appear on Broadway, because its interesting to see how the charming and classic story can be reinterpreted (the original film, A Christmas Story, was an interpretation of the 1966 book “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash”) linto another artistic medium. The reviews that the musical pretty much completely followed the storyline of the film, with the emphasis on special famous scenes from the film, makes the show all the more likely to end up on Broadway.
