Iconic festive film A Christmas Story has been converted into a musical.
The holiday production, choreographed by Warren Carlyle - the man behind Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway - has set out on a five-city tour across the US to determine how a "brand-new show with no track record" appeals to audiences, according to producer Jerry Goehring.
Child star-turned-director Peter Billingsley, who played the role of 12-year-old Ralphie Parker in the 1983 classic, also serves as a producer on the project.
The show will end its current run in Chicago, Illinois on 30 December, but producers hope to stage the production in New York next year.
