I saw the Broadway production in the late 80s. It had good production values, but the show was a bore. I just remember that the set moved quite a bit.

The Broadway production was just awful. I hear it's good when done regionally, etc., however, so your production will be fine. Rent the movie - it's wonderful.

ever heard the song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" or "The Trolly Song" that Judy Garland always sang? they're in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS.

this is what you want. the OBC recording with George Hearn. 10 bucks used.

love the movie yearly, and the "sorta sequel" IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME as well (which is yet another version of THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER, to some degree).

Never seen it onstage, anxious to. i'm pretty sure it was on Broadway, just not for long. It's a good show for a high school with resources, as there are a lot of female roles. Wonderful music too.

I agree with Rath - rent the movie - the play is almost exactly the same (though without Judy, its pretty boring)
