Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein
Book by Tom Briggs & Louis Mattioli
Based on the screenplay by Oscar Hammerstein II and the novel by Phil Strong
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. Set to the magical strains of an Academy Award winning score and augmented by other titles from the Rodgers and Hammerstein songbook, State Fair is the kind of warmhearted family entertainment only Rodgers and Hammerstein could deliver.
Recommended for all ages.
