The Muny

i often find myself doing something i don’t really want to do (and don’t even HAVE to do) but feel that i SHOULD do. but a couple weeks ago, when it was intermission at the MUNY (my first time there) during “joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat,” i realized that it was very hot (probably about 90. at NINE pm.), that i hated the overpriced trendy malt beverage i was drinking, and that yippity-skippity-type musicals have never been my thing. so i up and left.

i was sorta proud of myself.

but the muny really is pretty neat, especially if you like the particular show and if it is not august.

They always give away free seats and other seats go for as little as $8 I believe. They have really good shows there and it’s a fun experience. I always take a picnic dinner and have a picnic in forest park and then head to the show. It can get hot though so bring a fan!

Although many stars that have appeared on stage at The Muny one essential truth has remained about the nation’s oldest and largest outdoor theatre; its story is the story of St. Louis – and of St. Louisans. It is about the countless individuals who have contributed their time, money, or talent that have made this magical place a truly unique American experience.
