I wish this change weren't optional. I forgot to mention that the original composer of ''A Christmas Story,'' Scott Davenport Richards, who originally registered this complaint about the Chinese restaurant scene, is the son of Tony-winning director Lloyd Richards (''Fences''). He's the recipient of Jonathan Larson and Frederick Loewe Awards, and his work has been done at the Old Globe, the Alliance, etc. Richards also has taught musical theater at Montclair State University, NYU and the Lincoln Center Institute. And Chuck Cooper has performed Richards' songs at 54 Below.
And if you go to scottdavenportrichards.com, there's a MP3 of his catchy ''Take That'' from his version of ''A Christmas Story.'' |
