This year’s “THE CHRISTMAS STORY,” now a seemingly
permanent installment as CPH’s holiday show, was a step above some of the
recent stagings of the epic. Many
of the opening night audience seemed to be long time devotees, as many of the
laugh lines were preceded by pre-giggles and oral forecasting of the now famous lines. It was almost like a midnight viewing
of “The Rocky Horror Show.” Yes, a good time was had by all. No “bah Humbug” here!

For fans of the movie, this production is probably
the best stage adaptation in years due to the exceptional chemistry of the
cast. If you have not seen it the last
couple of years, there are some nice surprises waiting for you. Share this with the family for Christmas.
