A CHRISTMAS STORY
"Led by the energetic and talented Kai Edgar as little Ralphie, the musical unfolds the hilarious saga of Ralphie's unwavering quest for the coveted Red Ryder BB Gun...It is Kai Edgar's performance as Ralphie that truly makes this musical shine."

"Leaving the Ahmanson Theatre Friday night after seeing A Christmas Story: The Musical, one resounding thought echoed in my mind: by God, those kids are talented. And as I reflected on my own feeble grade school multipurpose room attempt at "Conjunction Junction," I couldn't help but thank my lucky stars that I would never be up against Kai Edgar or Henry Witcher in an audition room...If you needed convincing to leave your house and brave this frigid 70-degree Los Angeles December for a trip to the theatre, let it be these kids. They are not good for their age; they are just good. At only 11 years old, Kai Edgar leads the show with charisma, vivacity, and a lovable nerdiness as Ralphie."
Larchmont Buzz
"Kai Edgar is a terrific Ralphie with a fantastic voice. His easy charm makes him very easy to root for."
South Pasadenan
"Kai proves a nonstop delight as the irrepressible Ralphie while revealing pipes to reach the back row of the balcony and beyond."
Stage Scene LA
"Kai Edgar, embodying Ralphie, is a boundless well of energy and talent--a triple threat that brings joy to every scene."
Ryan Luevano
"Kai Edgar as Ralphie was absolutely superb. He captured the essence of the iconic character from the film with confidence and added his own gusto to make for a memorable performance."
Magic Made Today
"Stand-outs include Kai Edgar as Ralphie who delivers an excellent interpretation of the character. Edgar will blow your mind as his timing is exquisite and gives every child actor their moment to shine. Edgar also has great comedic relief when things aren't looking too happy on stage for other characters."
Beyond Disway
"This is every bit Edgar's story to carry, which this young man does quite winningly. Whether sharing a tearful moment with his mom, bonding with his crazy dad, as the gun-toting hero of a dream sequence, or taking on the school bullies, Edgar is across-the-board charismatic without ever being cloying."
