St. Louis is a proud American town at the start of a new century brimming with possibilities. The Smith family children have plenty of their own possibilities brewing as well. Romance swirls around young Esther Smith and her neighbor, John Truitt, while Rose is instantly smitten by her elder brother's handsome friend, Douglas Moore. But wait. Mr. Smith is having financial worries that may mean a sudden move to New York City and an end to the good times and the only home the family has ever known.

Based on the 1944 film of the same name, "Meet Me in St. Louis" is full of good feeling and memorable music, featuring such classics as "Trolley Song," the song made famous by Judy Garland, "Skip to My Lou," "The Boy Next Door" and the title song. It came to the Broadway stage in 1989, running for 252 performances, and has enjoyed numerous revivals, including an off-Broadway production in 2006 and a London run in 2013.
