Tonight is the live broadcast of the musical A Christmas Story Live, airing at 7 p.m. ET/PT on the FOX network. The east coast is the true live airing, while the west coast will be on a time delay. Stars including Matthew Broderick, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Ken Jeong, David Alan Grier, and Jane Krakowski join a cast of newcomers who are hoping to deliver a stellar production of a holiday classic. According to David Madden, the President of Entertainment in Fox Broadcasting Company, “A Christmas Story is one of the most beloved holiday films of all time – audiences have made a yearly ritual of re-watching it – and we are so thrilled to have Marc leading the charge in bringing the musical version of that film to television. The extraordinarily gifted Pasek and Paul were instrumental in transposing the movie to the stage, and we believe the transition to LIVE television event will be just as entertaining for viewers.” Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, known for La La Land, composed several new songs for A Christmas Story Live.

But, A Christmas Story Live isn’t the only live production on FOX tonight. According to a press release put out by the FOX network, the stars of the new movie The Greatest Showman will participate in the first-ever live theatrical commercial. Headliners Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya and Keala Settle, will all perform the movie’s original song, “Come Alive.” Michelle Marks, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Global Media Promotions for 20th Century Fox Film, released the following statement about the commercial. Marks said that, “We are creating what we expect will be a memorable performance providing energy and excitement to viewers that drives them to see The Greatest Showman. This first-ever live commercial for a feature film is one that P.T. Barnum would be proud of and one that I hope paves the way for future titles.”
