Meet Me in St. Louis
New London Barn Playhouse, NH

“St. Louis may be threatened by the Mississippi flood crest but the New London Barn Playhouse production of the stage musical based on the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis…is high, and dry and a treat for the whole family.”

Gary John La Rosa direction and choreography is outstanding and the rousing 'Skip to My Lou' beautifully tests the troupes dancing talent. It's alone worth the price of admission.”

Meet Me in St. Louis – A Sugar-Sprinkled, Musical Confection

"…A sweeter, more honey-scented, sugar-sprinkled musical confection could not be imagined. This is old-fashioned, let-the-good-times-roll entertainment…"

"The well-conceived choreography of La Rosa makes dancers and non-dancers alike look like terpsichorean wonders, turning the rollicking square dance 'Skip to My Lou' into a crackerjack dance routine."

"Don't miss hopping on board the MOC trolley to meet your friends and neighbors at Meet Me in St. Louis…"

Naomi Siegel – The Montclair Times


St. Louis sparkles with nostalgia, talent

“…a sparkling production that will tug at your heartstrings and wow you with the sheer talent and artistry spilling over…”

Gary John La Rosa's choreography is sprightly and interesting and very well executed by the cast, and his sure hand has directed the production to move smoothly and steadily…”

“So hurry on over to Meet Me in St. Louis through Saturday for a glorious evening of song, dance and family values. You won't want to miss it!”
