I watched the Irish Rep’s streaming production of “Meet Me in St. Louis” last night and really urge everyone to check it out. It’s a sliding scale of free to pay-what-you-can and, like their production of “The Weir”, all actors filmed from different locations and it was edited together to make a really fantastic “new” musical revival. It’s streaming through January 2nd and I’ll post the link below -

I'm curious if they've reworked the script at all. I did a heavily revised production (in St. Louis) a number of years ago that, among other things, moved "The Trolley Song" into the Act 2 opening spot and that alone made it feel like the whole show just flowed better.

Yes, this is revised. The whole show runs around 90 minutes (including intermission) and I do think “The Trolley Song” opens Act Two here (if I remember correctly).
