One of “The 10 Best Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Virtual Theater Productions of 2020”: “Perhaps the most ambitious virtual theater offering I’ve experienced this year.” – David Gordon, TheaterMania

In this heartwarming musical, the Smith family grapples with life changes and new love in a bustling St. Louis on the brink of the 1904 World’s Fair. This special digital adaption from Charlotte Moore (Anna Smith in the original Broadway cast) will include favorite tunes, including “The Trolley Song,” “The Boy Next Door,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” along with the romantic suitors, comedic misunderstandings, and jovial pranks that make this classic musical a treat for people of all ages.

This new digital production, filmed and edited remotely amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, is an abridged version of the Broadway musical Meet Me in St. Louis (1989), based on the 1944 film of the same name starring Judy Garland. It premiered as part of Irish Repertory Theatre’s Digital Fall Season in December of 2020 and was last presented on Irish Rep’s stage as Meet Me in St. Louis in 2007.

Reservations are free but required to access this digital event. A donation of $25 for the show, or $100 for the Festival, is suggested for those who can afford to give.

“Another green-screen miracle… soul-warming… Even if you’re having a difficult season, it will make you smile.” – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

“The sound recording is excellent, the orchestration and the singing first rate…When the enthusiasm of the players and the lilt of the songs come together, your heartstrings may just go zing, zing, zing.” – Ken Marks, The New Yorker

“A holiday treat…with each new Zoom production, Irish Rep is stretching the boundaries of the form.” – Joe Westerfield, Newsweek

“Irish Rep has managed to top itself with this year’s yuletide offering… this show is a lovely little gift, a reminder of the hopefulness we should have as we arrive at a new year.” – David Gordon, TheaterMania

“As delicious and delightful as one could hope for…it truly is a luscious musical gift if there ever was one.” Front Mezz Junkies

“The festive environment has all of the ingenuity of a full-scale Broadway production…an almost divine holiday experience.” Theater Pizzazz
