Website Directions (314) 361-1900

Located in Forest Park, The Muny is America's oldest and largest outdoor musical theater venue, entertaining audiences since 1917. Each summer, this iconic amphitheater presents a season of Broadway-style musical productions under the stars. Guests can purchase reserved seats or take advantage of free seating in the rear rows on a first-come, first-served basis for every performance.

History

The Muny was founded in 1919 as a venue for free public performances, and it has since become a beloved institution in St. Louis, presenting a range of productions from classic musicals to contemporary works.

Quick tip: Arrive early if you want to secure free seats in the rear nine rows, as gates open before showtime and fill quickly.
