As a writer, I am filled with admiration for the authors of A Christmas Story, now playing at Broadway Palm. They created an entire movie\/play based solely on one boy\u2019s quest for the perfect present.<\/p>\n

Jonathan VanDyke acts as a narrator and relates the events of the days leading up to Christmas. We get to see it all through both the eyes of young Ralphie and the eyes of his adult alter ego, softened by a cloud of nostalgia.<\/p>\n
The cast is filled with a talented bunch of local youngsters since all the juvenile roles are double cast. They are a joy to watch. The future of theater is in good hands.<\/p>\n
Of the adults, Ry Cavanagh showed both gracefulness and grouchiness as \u201cThe Old Man,\u201d Ralphie\u2019s dad, while Moriel Behar brought all the heart to the role of Ralphie\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n
Abigail Aldridge as (Miss) Shields<\/a> was a standout. What elementary school teacher doesn\u2019t deserve a sequined dress and a long, white boa? Nice work by Costume Designer<\/a> John P. White.<\/p>\n The painted backdrops by Scenic Designer Evan Adamson<\/a> are stunning as are the special effects by Lighting & Video Wall Designer Chris McCleary<\/a>.<\/p>\n Amy Marie McCleary does double duty as Director and Choreographer. Her creativity never disappoints. Watch for the Busby Berkeley<\/a> dance number with the infamous leg lamp. (IYKYK).<\/p>\n If you need a little push to get into the holiday spirit, this is the show for you. A Christmas Story runs through December 28. For tickets, call 239.278.4422. And don\u2019t forget to bring the kids.<\/p>\n Reader Reviews<\/p>\n To post a comment, you must register<\/a> and login<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\ud83c\udfad NEW! Ft.
