Meet Me In St. Louis takes place in the year leading up to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and hinges on the possibility that banker Alonzo Smith, might uproot his family to New York, scuttling his daughter Esther's romance with boy-next-door John Truett and causing similar emotional trauma for the rest of the household. The story was made famous in the 1944 MGM musical of the same name starring Judy Garland. Adapted for the stage in 1990, Meet Me In St. Louis includes "Skip To My Lou" "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door," and "The Trolley Song."
