MEET ME IN ST.LOUIS
play program

The Travelling Toe and 7 other Dear Friends journeyed to the cute town of Granbury to attend the Sunday afternoon performance of "Meet Me In St.Louis".  It was presented by the Granbury Theatre Company and was on stage at the beautifully restored Granbury Opera House.  An excellent live band accompanied the actors.

The stage play is an adaptation of the much beloved movie musical that starred Judy Garland.  In the movie, she sings the beautiful icon holiday song "Have Yourself  A Merry Little Christmas".
