Theatre Under the Stars at the Muny

St. Louis boasts the nation's oldest and largest outdoor theatre. The Muny was constructed from scratch in 49 days during the spring of 1917. Since first opening, St. Louisians have seen hundreds of plays at the Muny, including Evita, Fiddler on the Roof and Swan Lake. This summer, watch another season of theatre unfold under the night sky. This summer the M.A.C. has Muny theatre packages to two shows: Wizard of Oz and Oliver. The evenings start at 5:45 p.m., with a limited dinner menu at M.A.C. West. A shuttle leaves for Forest Park at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8:15 p.m. Price is $75, inclusive, per person. Call Courtney at 314-539-4402 to make reservations. Wizard of Oz Saturday, July 15 Follow the Yellow Brick Road, to the land where dreams really do come true. Experience one of MGM's grandest musicals come to life, as the Muny recreates the magic and marvel of this best-loved children's classic. Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and Glinda will all be there. And Toto, too! Oliver Saturday, August 5 Explore the grimy back streets of Dickens' Victorian London with the world's most famous orphan, Oliver Twist. A host of raffish characters including Fagin, Nancy and the Artful Dodger take you from the raucous river front pubs to the shadowy reaches of London Bridge. Don't miss the tale with a Twist! OLIVER!
