If you’re like me, and have practically every line of director Bob Clark’s 1983 holiday film classic “A Christmas Story” embedded deep in your cerebellum, then taking in “A Christmas Story, The Musical,” now playing at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, might require an adjustment period.
The film, which is narrated by radio personality Jean Shepherd and based on his book “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash” (from which the musical also draws), has such indelible performances and a singularly calm, yet quietly subversive tone that it remains, all these decades later, a truly unique comedic object.
