How did I miss this? How did I not know this was going on?
“A Christmas Story,” the musical, at the gorgeous 5th Avenue theater in my beloved Seattle.
(Years ago, I saw Katharine Hepburn and Dorothy Loudon in “West Side Waltz” in the 5th Avenue theater. Our seats were in the very back row of the balcony. You could not be farther away and still be in the building. I watched the entire show through binoculars and I thought my arms were going to fall off. Totally worth it, though. Totally worth it.)
But a musical version of Ralphie and Randy? Scott Farkas? The Bumpus hounds? Black Bart? A musical number featuring the “electric sex” lamp? Brilliant! Broadway bound, I’m sure.
The “major award.” Fra-jeel-aay– must be Italian!
The gift from Aunt Clara.
And … the aftermath of the Bumpus hounds. This photo kills me. Defeat.
Can’t wait for it to make its way here!
How funny, I was just reading about Peter Billingsly and the article mentions the musical. Would love to see it! http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/ralphie-from-a-christmas-story-all-grown-up–2016
Oh my gosh! I hope it does make its rounds because I love, love, love A Christmas Story!!!! I’ve watched it every Christmas since it came out in the 80’s…its a Holiday Classic 🙂
The Lifebouy Blues…
“What brought you to this lowwwwwly state?”
Andrea — Me too. Classic.
NF — Hahahahahahaha. They actually have a number involving the lamp and a kickline. I love that.
jayne — I saw him on Nightline last night. I think he’s producing the musical.
Okay that picture of the actor howling up at the Fra-gee-lay leg has been making me laugh out loud for 5 minutes.
Gorgeous lighting and set design, if I may say so – but look at that dude’s face. HILARIOUS.
I know. He’s deranged with love for it. SO funny.
Merry Christmas to you & (your) MB, Tracey!
Happy Christmas, MB and Tracey! Have much eggnog and revelry!
