MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS​

December 8-11, 2022

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SONGS BY HUGH MARTIN & RALPH BLANE
BOOK BY HUGH WHEELER
Based on The Kensington Stories by Sally Benson and the MGM motion picture Meet Me In St. Louis

It is the summer of 1903, and everyone in the Smith family eagerly anticipates the opening of the 1904 World’s Fair. Over the course of a year, the family's mutual respect, tempered with good-natured humor, helps them through romance, opportunity, and heartbreaks. The musical includes seven of the best-loved songs from the film, plus ten additional Martin and Blane songs written specially for the stage. Memorable musical numbers include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door," "The Trolley Song," and "Whenever I’m with You."
