Teaser Trailer Released For FOX's A CHRISTMAS STORY LIVE! - "Picture Perfect"
FOX has released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming live musical event A Christmas Story Live! These live TV musicals are the big craze right now! The networks seem to be seeing a lot of success from them, which is why they keep producing them!
Now FOX is taking my favorite Christmas movie of all time and capitalizing on the popularity of it with this live musical event. I know it won't be as good as the original film, but I hope that it at least turns out to be a decent and entertaining program.
This new promo basically offers us a little tease introducing us to the new actors taking on the roles of these classic characters. Here are some additional details on the event:
Two-time Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick (“How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” “The Producers,” “Manchester by the Sea”) will star as the narrator where he will play the grown-up “Ralphie Parker,” who looks back with love and humor on his favorite childhood Christmas. Broderick joins previously announced Emmy Award nominee Maya Rudolph (“Saturday Night Live,” “Bridesmaids”) in the three-hour live musical production. After a nationwide digital casting call, 11-year-old Andy Walken, from Seattle, WA, has been cast in the role of “Ralphie Parker.” Tony Award winner Jane Krakowski (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “30 Rock”) and Emmy Award nominee Chris Diamantopoulos (“Good Girls Revolt,” “Silicon Valley,” “Episodes”) have been cast in featured roles.
A Christmas Story Live! will debut on December 17, 2017 on FOX.
