Why you should go…

Since 1917, summer in St. Louis has meant musicals under the stars at The Muny, the nation's oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre. Roughly 11,000 seats fill a hillside amphitheatre in Forest Park for seven Broadway-caliber productions each season, staged with full orchestras and touring-level casts. The tradition that locals treasure most: the last nine rows, nearly 1,500 seats, are free every performance, first come, first served, with the line forming at the upper entrance before gates open.
