Set in Indiana in the 1940’s, this crowd-pleasing musical follows young Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts – an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Re-buffed at every turn, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to acquire the coveted BB gun. You’ll find all your favorite scenes from the iconic movie: the tongue stuck to the flagpole, the leg lamp, Farkus the bully, the bunny suit and “You’ll shoot your eye out!” The delightfully versatile score ranges from gentle ballads to show-stopping production numbers. Be a part of your favorite show at Christmas time!
