"It's turn of the century St. Louis, the World's Fair is coming soon — and so is a world of changes for the Smith family," read Meet Me in St. Louis production notes. "While older sisters Rose and Esther dream of happily-ever-after with their handsome beaus, the younger girls, Agnes and Tootie, spend their hours dreaming up mischief. But when their father announces the family is moving to New York, will all those dreams become one big nightmare?"
Meet Me in St. Louis features a book by Hugh Wheeler and a score by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane. Song titles include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door" and "The Trolley Song."
