The Muny

Mike Isaacson, Muny executive producer and artistic director, describes this season’s premieres of “Waitress” and “In the Heights.”

Twelve-time Grammy winner John Legend will perform with St. Louis Symphony in September, for the first concert at the Muny since 1991.

Nominees for St. Louis’ best theater performances and productions of 2023 are out from the St. Louis Theater Circle. Winners will be unveiled in March.

As extreme weather events become more common, leaders of organizations that produce events outdoors are looking for ways to protect audiences and workers.

The Muny, one of St. Louis’ biggest outdoor attractions, is bracing for the heat wave moving through the region. The theater will hold its final performance of “Sweeney Todd” today. It’s leaders pledge to do everything they can to keep fans comfortable as the heat index approaches 105 degrees.

The awards for the best theater in St. Louis returned after taking a year off during the coronavirus pandemic. The Muny won the most acclaim, with nine awards.

"Chicago," "Jersey Boys" and "King Lear" received the most nominations from the St. Louis Theater Circle. Read the full list of nominees before the group's award ceremony on March 28.

Kwofe Coleman, a Muny veteran who has held various leadership roles for 13 years, wants to see more diversity onstage, backstage and in the audience.

Fresh off her first year as an undergrad at Oklahoma City University, Scott impressed Blue Strawberry owner Jim Dolan with her performance at an open mic night earlier this summer. On July 29, she's putting on a full show.

The Muny will abandon plans to limit capacity when it reopens its doors to audiences in July. That means up to 11,000 people may be in attendance each night and the theater could avoid the multimillion-dollar budget deficit its leaders had forecast.
