Goodspeed Opera House - 'A Christmas Story'

Thursday - Dec 12, 2024

What could be nicer than a full course lunch at the historic Gelston House located on the CT River in East Haddam, CT. Enjoy a matinee performance right next door at the Goodspeed Opera House, built in 1876, of the holiday classic, 'A Christmas Story' with orchestra seats! Goodspeed unwraps a glittering musical version of the beloved movie classic just in time for the holidays. The only thing little Ralphie wants for Christmas is a BB gun. But to get it, he must navigate all the obstacles of the yuletide season. Will a neighborhood bully, a strict school teacher, a distracted dad and a department store Santa thwart his quest? There’s something for everyone in this hilarious love letter to Christmas past. A package of naughty and nice nostalgia to warm your winter!
