A CHRISTMAS STORY, THE MUSICAL 2025 National Tour Dates and Cast

Following a critically acclaimed holiday run at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles, Big League’s flagship production of A Christmas Story, The Musical returns for a National Tour in the 2025 holiday season. Ralphie Parker’s zany escapades are hilariously brought to life in this blockbuster musical extravaganza. The heart-warming TONY-nominated Broadway musical from the songwriting team behind Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman, and La La Land, brings the classic holiday film vibrantly to life on stage featuring all of the movie’s iconic moments infused with TONY Award® winner Warren Carlyle’s show-stopping production numbers. The twelve-city tour of A Christmas Story, The Musical opens in Utica, NY on November 11. Dates to follow are Detroit, MI; Orange, TX; Dallas, TX; Evans, GA; Tampa, FL; Pensacola, FL; Fort Worth, TX; Lawrence, KS; Manhattan, KS and St. Louis, MO concluding the tour in Lincoln, NE.

A Christmas Story, The Musical chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle (“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”). An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Chock-full of delightful songs and splashy production numbers, A Christmas Story, The Musical has proudly taken its place as a perennial holiday classic for the whole family.

The 2025 National Tour stars Torben Mularski as Ralphie Parker, with McCager Carver as the Ralphie alternate. Mason Burnham stars as little brother Randy, with Mark Stoddard as Jean Shepherd, Kirsten Bleu Kaiser as Mother, and Gregory White as The Old Man. Rounding out the cast are Ash Marie Alina, Eva Lizette Carreon, Luke Diaco, Brianna Feng, Kristin Greve, Sam Guida, Trinity Harvey, M-Jay He, Miya Heulitt, Kai Horvit, Kaylee Kay, Saajan Lakhani, Ellie Racunas, Ever Brave Savage, Robert Sharkey, Mabel Vough, Jake Ward, Paul Watt-Morse, and Guy Wolfmeyer.

Hailed by The Associated Press as “a joyous Christmas miracle,” The New York Times writes “I was dazzled. You’d have to have a Grinch-sized heart not to feel a smile spreading across your face.” A Christmas Story, The Musical premiered on Broadway in 2012 and was a critical and commercial success. The musical was nominated for three TONY Awards® including Best New Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical.
