Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Tom Briggs, and Louis Mattioli’s 'State Fair' arrived at the Music Box Theatre in 1996, running for an accomplished 118 performances and capturing two major Tony Award nominations including Best Original Score. Masterfully expanding the iconic 1945 20th Century Fox cinematic musical masterpiece film onto the stage, the melody-infused frontier musical comedy follows the Frake family as they travel to the Des Moines fair in 1946, introducing standards like "It Might as Well Be Spring," directed by James Hammerstein.
