R+H’s only musical written directly for the screen is now a Broadway musical! Set against the colorful backdrop of an American heartland tradition, State Fair travels with the Frake family as they leave behind the routine of the farm for three days of adventure at the annual Iowa State Fair. Mom and Pop have their hearts set on blue ribbons while their daughter and son find romance and heartbreak on the midway.

Featuring your favorite R+H songs and an Academy Award-winning score including A Grand Night For Singing, It Might As Well Be Spring,, plus spectacular choreography and a dollop of Americana, State Fair is a nostalgic kind of warm-hearted family entertainment only Rodgers & Hammerstein could deliver!
