[@anthonyschliesman5582]

Talented child actor there with Ralphie. And that tap was freaking... Phew I mean gee wiz that kid's about 3 feet tall and can tap better than most adults.

[@emmyhewitt4063]

forever the most underrated broadway musical 😭

[@ChelexBebop]

I can't get over how fierce she is!

[@cookieanon7794]

The woman who plays Ms.Shields is right now in the Anastasia musical on broadway.

[@aidanneely903]

Was literally the first comment I saw and the exact thing I was looking for

[@gregorykeithmorris3970]

The casting for this production was excellent!

[@theatrechick288]

The cast is AMAZING

[@XxElphabaPotterxX]

She is absolutely amazing. End of story.

Tap kid is called Luke spring!! He's been on Ellen and a lot of talk shows, incredible kid

[@manuelorozco7760]

If only baby Mumble can see him now

[@ializarg]

She reminds me to the great Ethel Merman...

[@kedna78]

Actually she played Ethel Merman in a movie. I think the name is "De-Lovely". I am not sure but its Cole Porter's biography type.

[@swimmingdk]

my favorite performance at the 2013 tonys

[@eirikastokes9652]

Old fashioned, traditional BROADWAY at its best. Not Broadway, but BROADWAY.

[@SoICanComment163]

2:15 kills me every time!

[@FreedomKat]

She pulled a Frank N Furter in the beginning lol

[@Frankie-Lu]

She's really good!

[@MegGyver1]

I saw this on tour and the Mom, Dad, and Miss Shields couldn’t have been out of their 20s. This is such a great part for a mature actress and they blew it. There was no grit

[@Quoew5164]

I'm sorry but the tap dancing is sooooo good

[@oldvlognewtricks]

Just remember this era is as close for Grown Up Ralphie as the 80s are to today 😱

[@giovizaff]

This was unbelievably awesome!

[@gavincampbell8037]

i saw it on tour amazing

[@TylerActs86]

This entire show deserved WAY more recognition!!!!!

[@shannonpiper3465]

aww caroline o connor and john bolton have worked together before anastasia !!

[@petradonovan5161]

The live TV version of the A Xmas Story musical was nowhere as good as this.

[@sjcohen4444]

Petra Donovan The number was so overproduced for the Live production. And no little Dynamo like Luke was back then.

[@methylphosphatePOET]

Sorry but Ms. Shield's thunderous talents swallow that kid easily.

[@exploran0ra683]

methylphosphatePOET Her name is Caroline O’Connor and she is a QUEEN. I met her at the stage door for Anastasia and she literally is so nice and talented.

[@sjcohen4444]

methylphosphatePOET She was one of the best Mrs. Lovetts in Sweeney Todd.

[@matthewsenese6158]

Caroline O'Connor should have a Tony.

[@chrisspyrou3705]

I want Sutton to play this part! The dancing kinda reminds me routines from Thoroughly modern Millie

[@paigecullen4095]

well now that shes getting a bit older, to where she can play the mature adult roles, maybe she will when they eventually revive it. who knows

[@Revlongirl15]

I was in a play with the kid who played ralphie he was just as amazing as I remember he was

[@MsDreamscaper]

Love the little boy tap dancer! ♥

[@erimargaret6552]

Ralphie is a boy named Johnny. I met him today bc I was shadowing at his school! He's really talented

[@michaelbennett5913]

If his daydreams include seeing his teacher is a revealing red dress, I think Ralphie has problems....

[@llcooljay520]

+Michael Bennett I can honestly say I had a weird dream about my 2nd grade teacher in a red sequined dress very similar to that one 20 years ago. She wasn't as good of a dancer though :-P Also, this may have been an early indication I was gay haha

[@ializarg]

This is a musical version of the film "A Christmas Story" (1983) In Hohman, Indiana, nine-year-old Ralph "Ralphie" Parker wants only one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock, and "this thing which tells time" (a sundial). While using various schemes to convince his parents to get him this gift, he continually bumps into objections from others saying, "You'll shoot your eye out." . achristmasstorythemusical

[@raysroom3223]

I think of this very often

[@Spade_Arrows]

Omg I’m in this play for my school and that’s the exact dance we did 😳

[@cocoparkerwilt]

That little guy was great

[@sjcohen4444]

When I saw this I could have kicked myself for not seeing the show. Fortunately it came back to NYC at The Theatre at Madison Square Garden. A terrible venue but better than nothing. Loved it.

[@danscott2289]

Apart from the two adults on stage, this cast must have a combined age of about 70, this is insane!

[@romandelgado8894]

Grow up

[@thepopculturebuff5080]

Better than the live FOX show… ugh… Damn that Lady can Tap-Dance.

[@manuelorozco7760]

At least we can agree Jane Krakowski is a triple threat

why have all the adults from this been in Anastasia?

[@manuelorozco7760]

The new Christmas Story sequel on HBO Max sent me here. Nine years later, I find it hard to believe Pasek and Paul wrote this musical before La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen and the Greatest Showman. This dance number is cheesy in a good way

[@juliakemp3913]

What are the kids saying at 3:58? Please Help!

[@thnku4thevenom09]

Julia Kemp " you're the wimpiest kid in the whole dang class"? I think it's a callback to the song When you're a wimp.

[@heyitsnathanofficial]

"You're the wimpiest kid in the whole midwest" i believe

[@hapgood22]

I am pretty sure it's "you're the creepiest kid in the whole Midwest."

[@msradx]

I don't understand this! This number is not on the 'Christmas Story' soundtrack.

[@evang.6771]

msradx +Ethan Audiss It's not a mix of different songs, it's just simply not on the soundtrack. The full version is much longer as well.

[@metikabegleiter1770]

It’s also a somewhat different cast from the OBC because it was recorded after the 2011 tour which was before it went to broadway in 2012❤️

[@zigfried64]

The cast recording was made based on the national tour prior to the show's Broadway opening. This number was written after the score was recorded just prior to its Broadway opening. They also completely rewrote the lyrics for Ralphie to the Rescue. This song does appear on the A Christmas Story LIVE TV soundtrack.

[@RockPrincess130]

Does anyone know the name of the kid who was tap dancing? Super, super talented but I can't find who he is anywhere!!

[@margaretlie3972]

Luke Spring

Was Beatrice Tulchin replaced by Alexa Shae Niziak?

[@sarahtychinski1745]

Beatrice Tulchin (Bea) went to Matilda The Musical on Broadway! She plays Amanda

[@romeobrooks4358]

It's Dan Lauria from The Wander Years...

[@TrendyyWendyy]

I don't quite get what the plot of this musical is. Can someone explain?

[@evang.6771]

TrendyyWendyy It's based on the classic comedy of the same name. Google it. In short, a kid wants a BB gun for Christmas, and goes through a whole lot of trouble in an attempt to get it. His endeavors are often commented on by saying "you'll shoot your eye out."

[@Sita_Schioetz]

Grace, Annalise and Alexa from Matilda!

[@milogotstyle5983]

These kids are tiiiiny! Which one is Bea Tulchin?

[@galaxiamoon6002]

I don't think she was it this one. I think her understudy for Mary Beth was in this. Anyways, they're both amazing.

[@galaxiamoon6002]

Oh I remember, when this happened, Beatrice went to be Amanda in Matilda The Musical.

[@galaxiamoon6002]

The kid who is playing Beatrice's role in this performance is Alexa Shae Niziak.

[@alli8466]

+Milo “Wormwoods” Got Style Beatrice was in the Matilda performance that same night!

[@MikeA15206]

The old saying is, don’t perform with dogs or kids, you’ll always be upstaged. These kids are GREAT, but don’t stand a chance next to Caroline O.

[@NoLifeButTheater]

Dat kid though.

[@demiyael101]

Oh I wish I could say something right now cus it would be so mean but soooo true!!!

[@Diathero]

Wonder* :)

[@jenbarry5340]

I get why you need pants or a short dress for tap dancing, but I think that dress was a little to riskaee infant of the cast kids, but great play, wish I could watch all of it every one was great! Love the original A Christmas Story movie!

[@llcooljay520]

+Flower Power If your kid is performing on Broadway, it is very likely that they have seen/heard worse than this red dress. It's just made in the 40s style. Ginger Rogers wore similar dresses.

[@marka.5135]

Please don't call this UNDERRATED for f*cks sake. It had multiple Tony nominations but lost to Kinky Boots.

[@methylphosphatePOET]

Easily.
