2011 St. Louis Muny Schedule

Bill Hanks
Another season is set to go at this years Muny Opera in St. Louis, Missouri at Forest Park. The Muny boasts the largest outdoor play theater west of the Mississippi River. This article looks at this years show line up.

The seven shows this year will offer two premieres. For the first time in St. Louis, you will be able to see the productions of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and "Legally Blond."

Summer Schedule

This summers season begins on June 20 through the 26 with "Legally Blond." It is followed with "Kiss Me Kate" from June 27 to July 3. (This is great for the July 4Th weekend.) July 6 through the 14 has the Disney production of "The Little Mermaid." This production is great for the entire family, especially little girls. It is running for two weeks. This gives everyone an opportunity to see this first time production in St. Louis. July 18-24 has the old time favorite of "Singing in the Rain." This is the fifth time for this production at the Muny. "Little Shop of Horrors" is playing July 25-31. August 1-7 has "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" scheduled. The Summer performances then concludes with "Bye Bye Birdie" August 8 through 14.

There is pre-show dining. Check the web site. Also, you are only moments from the famous "The Hill." The Hill is famous for it's Italian restaurants. You can make reservations for an early or a late night meal.

Vacationing
It doesn't matter if you are in St. Louis on vacation or just passing through, the Muny Opera is the place to attend for Broadway entertainment. I recommend that you get your tickets early. As their slogan always says, "Join Us at the Muny."
