Meet The Cast Of 'A Christmas Story: Live!' On Fox
Fox is once again getting into the spirit of producing a live musical following 2016's "Grease: Live!" This time around, the network is getting in the holiday spirit as well, with the newest production, "A Christmas Story: Live!"
The musical adaptation presents a new twist on the classic holiday movie, which was previously adapted into a stage musical, and sees the same story of Ralphie Parker, a boy growing up in Indiana in the 1940s who just wants one special gift for Christmas. In the Live version, fans will be able to sit back and enjoy, as a grown-up Ralphie looks back on that special Christmas from his childhood with both love and humor.
