STATE FAIR was the only musical that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote specifically for Hollywood and two versions were filmed, one in 1945 and the other in 1962. The one that's probably most familiar to audiences today is the rather forgettable 1962 version which features Pat Boone serenading a pig. Hammerstein's son, James, revived the musical in 1995, plucking tunes from ME AND JULIET, PIPE DREAM and ALLEGRO! to round out the score. While the results are certainly a mixed bag musically, the latest presentation by Stages St. Louis is splendidly mounted, and provides a lively and engaging look back at a simpler time in our history.

Stages St. Louis will begin selling tickets for their 2010 summer season beginning at 10:00am on Monday, April 5th. The season is set to include BIG RIVER, PROMISES, PROMISES, DISNEY'S THE ARISTOCRATS and STATE FAIR.
