🎄 A Christmas Story: The Musical

🎁 A Hilarious Holiday Classic Comes to the Stage!

Get into the holiday spirit with Midwest Bus Trips and enjoy an unforgettable day at the dinner theater featuring A CHRISTMAS STORY The Musical!

Based on the beloved 1983 holiday movie, this hilarious and heartwarming musical brings Ralphie Parker’s Christmas wish to life on stage—with plenty of laughs, family fun, and holiday nostalgia along the way.

🍽️ Dinner First, Then the Show!

After arriving at the theater, your meal will be served before the performance, giving you the perfect opportunity to sit back, enjoy a delicious dinner, and get ready for the show.

🎁 Everyone Wants That One Perfect Christmas Gift...

For Ralphie, there’s only one thing on his Christmas list:

An Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle.

Ralphie will do just about anything to make sure that dream gift ends up under the Christmas tree!

Packed with the humor and heart that made the original movie a holiday favorite, A CHRISTMAS STORY The Musical captures the magic, excitement, and sometimes downright chaos of Christmas through the eyes of a child.

The production features a fun and heartfelt score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the award-winning songwriting team behind La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and the Broadway hit Dear Evan Hansen.
