WATERVILLE — The Waterville Opera House is proud to present a holiday favorite on stage, “A Christmas Story, the Musical.” Based on the popular holiday movie, this charming musical adaptation follows the adventures of 9-year-old Ralphie Parker on his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts, an official Red Ryder, carbine-action, 200-shot, range model air rifle. 
Rebuffed at every turn with a familiar response, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun. “A Christmas Story” runs Dec. 2 through the 11 at the Waterville Opera House. The musical, which has been nominated for multiple Tony Awards, features a catchy, toe-tapping musical score that would please the Grinch himself.
