The Muny

The Muny, or the Municipal Opera Association of St. Louis in full, is a not- for- profit municipally owned outdoor theatre, the largest in the world. It operates solely in the summer, and its first official season ran from June to August of 1919. In the beginning, it presented the latest operas of the time, calling on local performers and national celebrities alike to perform for a short run of one to (at times) three week run. More recently, however, the Muny has shifted to presenting musicals, some old, some new, and some of the Muny's own creation.

Here follows a list of the many shows that the Muny has presented in its summer seasons, with known dates included. The Muny is currently preparing for its eighty- eighth season for the summer of 2006.

Interesting patterns in the repertory include that the 1919 season was the only one to hold all new productions (being the first season). The 1946, 1993, and 1996 seasons, in contrast, have been the only ones to feature no new shows.
