On May 21 of this year, BroadwayWorld threw a big party at Sony Hall in the heart of the theatre district, celebrating our 20th anniversary year online and in the community.

And the venue itself, Sony Hall, couldn't have been nicer to us or more cooperative.

Meet Me In St. Louis began performances at the Muny August 4 and will run until August 12. Check out an exclusive clip of Emily Walton performing 'The Boy Next Door' below!
