This weekend we went to see the new musical A Christmas Story. It is a new never seen musical created from the movie A Christmas Story. You could tell that it was a work in progress but never the less it was good. It seem to me that it relies on you holding the original movie with such esteem that nothing new was allowed to developed. It had the same old surprises and same old lines that you wait for. And that is the trick isn’t when you take a movie and change it into a play either it is too close to the movie or it is changed so much it bears little resemblance to the original.
It is running until Dec 30. That is plenty of time to get tickets and see it.
