The Muny

Musical cake

Meet me at the Muny, the Muny of Forest Park.

The location site of the Muny started as a grassy area between two oak trees that hosted a theatrical staging of the Pageants and Masques. They ways about the beginning of St. Louis.

The Muny is short for The Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis, is an outdoor musical amphitheater, located in Forest Park. The theater seats 11,000 people with approximately 1,500 free seats in the last nine rows that are available on a first come, first served basis. The first show under the Muny banner was Robin Hood, which opened on June 16, 1919, and featured Mayor Kiel as King Richard.

I have been to the Muny once back in the late 1990's. My sisters came out to St. Louis and we saw the B52s play there.
