A Christmas Story The Musical is being staged at Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. The production's run began on Tuesday, Nov. 18, and it will continue through Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026.

A Christmas Story The Musical is described as a holiday favorite with funny and heartfelt songs, vibrant dancing, and a heart of gold at its core. The musical follows the story of a boy named Ralphie who longs for a Red Ryder BB Gun. 

Throughout the performance, audience members will witness beloved elements from the motion picture holiday classic, including the leg lamp, pink bunny pajamas, dogs stealing a turkey, a cranky department store Santa, and a dare to lick a freezing flagpole.

A special "Kids Night at The Walnut" will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 7:30 p.m. One child (17 and younger) gets in free with the purchase of one adult ticket. 

The Walnut Street Theatre is at 825 Walnut St. in Philadelphia. Learn more about the production and purchase tickets on the theatre's website.
