With the abundance of things to do in St. Louis, one of the summer musts is the world famous Muny theater. One doesn't need to go to New York to see Broadway quality talent as the Muny brings these actors and actresses to St. Louis who, for a week at a time, bring the best musicals of the stage here to the Midwest. Being the oldest and largest outdoor theater, they have elected to carry on the well known generosity of this city by leaving the last nine rows of the theater (1500 seats) free to the public on a first-come-first serve basis. With ample parking, pre-show entertainment, and incredible production values, the only two things that might detract from a near-perfect theater experience is the exposure to the elements during the St. Louis summer and the often problematic sight-lines, especially if finding oneself sitting behind a taller showgoer.
