Singing Audition for "A Christmas Story" Show

One of Ralphie’s two best friends, Flick becomes famous for accepting a triple dog dare to stick his tongue to a frozen flag pole. When he does, however, his tongue gets stuck and the fire department is called upon to safely deal with the situation.

Ralphie is a typical kid in elementary school growing up in a typical family living in an ordinary midwestern town in the early 1940s. It is the Christmas season and Ralphie has reached the age where he wants just one thing for Christmas: “an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred-shot range model air rifle!” And he will stop at nothing to get trick his parents into getting it for him.

Ralphie’s best friend is the one delivering the triple dog dare (despite breaching dare-making etiquette by skipping over the simple triple dare and going straight to the dog version) to Flick. Later, Ralphie-under parental pressure Schwartz as the source for where he learned the F-word. Despite the fact that his father weaves a tapestry of profanity every day, Ralphie’s fingering of Schwartz will unfairly get the other boy an even worse punishment than Ralphie got for actually saying it.

Scut Farkus is an older kid who is as rotten as his name. When Ralphie is disappointed by the reaction to his essay, he lapses into despondency which is sublimated into an explosion of blind rage when Scut Farkus picks the wrong day to pick on him again. The beating he delivers to the bully results in damage to his glasses, but becomes an incident forging a new stage in his relationship with his mother.

Ralphie’s little brother is usually bundled up so tightly in winter clothing that he can’t even move his arms, but it is he who comes to Ralphie’s rescue when his brother turns the tables on Scut Farkus. Randy’s running to get his mother is what ends the beating.
