On Monday, ABC announced that they were bringing back American Idol and NBC one upped them by announcing that they hired Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson as Coaches for The Voice. NBC announced that they are doing Jesus Christ Superstar live for Easter and Fox one upped them by announcing that they are doing A Christmas Story: The Musical live for Christmas. CBS the ball is your court for one upping all of that.
Now back to Fox, we know that A Christmas Story is a TBS staple every December 25th, but in 2012 a musical version went to Broadway. The latter version is coming to Fox this December. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who worked on Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land and ACS:TM, will be writing some new songs for the three hour production.
The only thing I ask, is not only will it be good, but also they find a way to incorporate Peter Billingsley in it. Without him, is there really a Christmas Story? Musical or not.
