12 Movies & TV Shows You Didn't Know Were Remade On Broadway

12. A Christmas Story

A must see film for families every year, A Christmas Story is a holiday classic. Everyone knows that a person who owns a Red Ryder BB gun will surely shoot their eye out.

Executives thought the film was ready for musical numbers when it opened for a limited holiday run on Broadway in 2012. The show opened to rave reviews, featuring all of our favorite scenes like Flick getting his tongue stuck on the pole, the Chinese restaurant Christmas dinner and the leg lamp. Versatile music scores accompanied these scenes and while audiences couldn't get enough, the show closed only one month later due to it's limited engagement contract.

In 2017, A Christmas Story was revived for television with stars like Maya Rudolph (as Ralphie's Mom), Matthew Broderick (as Older Ralphie/Narrator), and Jane Krakowski (as Miss Shields). The show featured numerous brand new musical numbers and cut out three songs from the original Broadway production.
