A Christmas Story Live!, inspired by the holiday classic film and the Tony-nominated Broadway musical A Christmas Story: The Musical, is this season’s live musical television event. The live broadcast is coming to Fox December 17.
Flip through new photos of the cast below:
A Christmas Story Live! stars two-time Tony winner Matthew Broderick as the narrator and the grown-up version of Ralphie Parker, alongside Emmy nominee Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live) as Mrs. Parker, and Andy Walken as Ralphie.
The cast of A Christmas Story Live! also features Tony winner Jane Krakowski (Nine), Emmy nominee Chris Diamantopoulos (Waitress), and Ana Gasteyer (Wicked).
Tony, Golden Globe, and Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land) are writing several new songs for the live television event to supplement their musical’s original score. Eight-time Tony nominee Scott Ellis will direct on the stage—and serve as an executive producer—while Alex Rudzinski (an Emmy winner for Grease: Live) will serve as live television director and an executive producer.
