The musical was nominated for Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Original Score (Pasek and Paul) and Best Book of a Musical and premiered for a limited engagement in 2012.
Marc Platt (Grease: LIVE, La La Land) will executive produce the event, which is inspired by both the film and the Tony Award-nominated A Christmas Story: The Musical.
A live musical production of the 1983 classic film A Christmas Story is on the way from Fox Broadcasting Company and Warner Horizon Unscripted Television.
The three-hour A Christmas Story musical will air this December on FOX.
