A Christmas Story Musical

Arizona Broadway Theatre
7701 West Paradise Lane Peoria

"You'll shoot your eye out!" That classic line spews from TV sets nationwide every December as '40s cherub Ralphie Parker -- oversized glasses, dapper sweater and meticulously combed blond hair -- struggles to find compassion in a world of dream-crushing adults. His Christmas wish is simple: to get a Red Ryder BB gun. Or, more specifically, a "Red Ryder carbine-action, 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time." But the grown-ups in his life are having none of it. Now his misadventures have moved to the stage with A Christmas Story the musical. This musical spectacular at Arizona Broadway Theatre in the Phoenix area is witty holiday entertainment with a heart of gold (and a tacky leg lamp).
