The story from a cherished movie classic that's enchanted millions is now a musical spectacular. In 1940's Indiana, a bespectacled boy named Ralphie has a big imagination and one wish for Christmas-a Red Ryder BB Gun. A kooky leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a cranky department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the obstacles that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas dream.
William Berloni, the trainer whose dogs have appeared on Broadway in shows from GYPSY to LEGALLY BLONDE, this year trained three more dogs who are currently appearing on the Great White Way: ANNIE's 'Sandy' and A CHRISTMAS STORY's two 'Bumpus Hounds.'
