"State Fair" Viewing

Description

Set just after World War II, this Rodgers and Hammerstein original - their only musical written directly for the screen - celebrates a hopeful new era as a Midwestern family heads to the State Fair — where prize pigs, mince pies, and young love take center stage. Featuring a glorious score, including the Oscar-winning “It Might As Well Be Spring.”
