Meet Me in St Louis is an adaptation of the movie musical which starred Judy Garland. Set in the early 1900’s, it is the story of the Smith family and their joys and tribulations in a time when things were simple—or were they? Humor, love and respect tell the family story, enhanced by memorable musical numbers, The Boy Next Door, The Trolley Song, Whenever I’m with You and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, among others.
