| It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I don't think it is going to be anywhere near La La Land and following the ratings failure of A Christmas Story Live, Pasek and Paul are luster is going to be undeservedly dimmed. I assume however at least one of the songs in the movie (Come Alive?) will be nominated for an Oscar and a repeat win would help them as a team. I am afraid the movie however is destined to become a staple of the Disney Channel and ABC teevee. | |

| I don't think the dimming of their "luster" is undeserved. Their Oscar win is what was undeserved. And, in my opinion, their Best Score Tony. And I would also say that even having a live tv production of A Christmas Story the musical was undeserved. | |

| "And I would also say that even having a live tv production of A Christmas Story the musical was undeserved. However you feel about Pasek and Paul, I think it goes without saying that the choice of A CHRISTMAS STORY for live TV production was based on the familiarity of the title (from the original movie) and the subject matter rather than on anyone's opinion of the quality of the songs in the musical. |

| The NY Magazine review (quoted above) absolutely supports your POV, citing lyrics from both "Evan" and La La." It is the first to contextualize the voice of the lyrics and find a prosaic quality in the expressed emotion. | |
