A Christmas Story Live: The Worst Musical Ever on TV?


A Christmas Story is perhaps the most famous and most beloved holiday movie of all-time.


A Christmas Story Live!, however, is a musical adaption that aired on Fox and which was not met by positive reviews by… well… pretty much anyone at all.


Scroll down for a look at the most memorable social media reactions…




1. Look, The Cast Was Terrific


Look the cast was terrific

Chris Diamantopoulos… Maya Rudolph… Matthew Broderick… Jane Krakowski. We don’t blame any of the stars for this debacle.



2. However, There Were Problems


However there were problems

Microphone and blocking mishaps, along with way too many musical numbers and far too much camera spinning, left viewers feeling dissatisfied.



3. Take It Away, Twitter!


Take it away twitter

You won’t believe this, but social media users had a lot to say about the production.



4. Well, Yeah


Well yeah

You could have just watched a commercial to learn this aspect of it. Come on.



5. A Dark Turn


A dark turn

Oh, wow. Okay then. This sure took a turn down a different path than we expected.



6. WTH is Going On?


Wth is going on

This was a general theme on Twitter. For over two hours of the program.

Blue Ivy Carter to Make Musical Debut on Upcoming Coldplay Album!

Blue Ivy Carter may not be able to tie her own shoes, but she already leads one of the most baller existences on the planet.



Blue Ivy’s vacation photos could make Anthony Bourdain weep.


The girl gets custom-made clothes from the world’s biggest designers, then probably passes them on to her entourage when she outgrows them in a week.


She’s even got her first rap feud under her belt, thanks to Chris Brown’s claim that Royalty is the cutest of all the hip hop babies.


Obviously talent is no longer a requirement for being a celebrity (We’re looking at you, Kylie Jenner!), but Blue is making sure that she secures her spot as a future A-lister by becoming a more in-demand guest vocalist for top-selling artists than Nate Dogg was in his prime.


Okay, she’s hasn’t come that far quite yet, but Blue will be making her singing debut on Coldplay’s seventh studio album, due out next month.


Lead singer Chris Martin says it all started when the band brought in Beyonce for some cameo vocals on a track called “Hymn for the Weekend.”


Blue accompanied Bey in the studio, and naturally, the band couldn’t resist having her coo a few bars.


The album also features guest performances from Martin’s ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as his current girlfriend Annabelle Wallis, because apparently, this record is some sort of social experiment in which Chris Martin attempts to find out how awkward he can make his life.


Hey, it might’ve been weird to make, but we’re sure it’ll go multi-platinum.

Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Musical Will Now Be 4 Hours Long & Split Into Two Different Parts!

This is great news if you’re a Potterhead and somewhat awful news if you have a short attention span…


We were blown away when we heard that J.K. Rowling was crafting a brand-new Harry Potter story, but it was music to our ears when we found out that the new chapter was actually going to be told in the form of a musical!


Well, it’s been three months since Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was officially announced, and now the team behind the West End production dropped yet another major bomb.


As it turns out, the musical is so grand that it’s actually being cut into two 2-hour long parts that will be shown at different times!

Kind of exactly how Deathly Hallows worked in theaters, now only done on the stage.


J.K. made the big reveal herself on Friday, saying:



What this means is that you’ll be able to see Harry Potter 8 – Part 1 on one night, then watch Part 2 some other time — or you could even make it a day at the theater and watch them back-to-back!

The completely original musical is set to go up Summer 2016 in London before traveling the world, and you can expect tickets to go on sale later this Fall.


Are U not absolutely avada kedavra-ing over this news?!
