Peter Billingsley Turns ‘A Christmas Story’ Into A Musical
Thursday, December 2, 2010



This is so freaking cool – I Love this movie, in fact I remember going to see it when I was in middle school.

Now, The kid who played a young Ralphie in 1983′s A Christmas Story, Peter Billingsley is all grown up and is bringing the story to stage in a musical, which will play at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre.

Billingsley has definitely moved on up in the world and made a name for himself as he has helped produce, as well as act in, several films such as Iron Man, Four Christmases, and The Break Up.

In a statement, Billingsley said:

“A Christmas Story has always meant a lot to me personally and to audiences worldwide. I’m excited to bring this film to the stage because the story and the characters lend themselves so well to the exciting ingredients that become available in the world of musicals. Just think about the idea of a Leg Lamp Kickline!”

Yeah – I hope this is a hit like the movie so it can head to Broadway or even better tour the US. A Christmas Story: The Musical! will officially open Dec. 9 and run through Dec. 30.
