    2025, The Muny's 107th Season, is my first year as a season ticket holder. The line up and services did not disappoint. My family has had season tickets for more than XX/, ie....A LOT, of years. I saw Tyne Daly as Mama Rose if that gives you a ballpark idea. I have had the pleasure of experiencing The Muny through the eyes of an adolescent, young adult, through middle age, and now as a retiree. I remember standing up, looking around, and appreciating the majestic expansiveness of the facility as a child with the same enthusiasm I see it with today; only now I appreciate it under quiet, constantly running fans and with a cold adult beverage in hand. A couple of tips: -If there is someone with a mobility issue or disability in your party, The Muny has you covered! Arrive as early as 7pm (check that). Park in the "Lower Lot" located Stage Left. Head toward the benches located between the lot and the walkway towards the stage. Once there, you will find dozens of young men and women waiting to assist with Muny-provide wheelchairs or as your needs dictate. I have always seen them in turquoise shirts and khaki pants. They will get you to your seat AAANND come back a little after the show concludes to pick you up and get you back to the benches or your vehicle. They are always SO very nice....and work for tips....so take care of them. -Soft sided coolers that fit under your seat are allowed. Stash plastic bottles and a snack to enjoy before or during the performance. This is how these tips apply to my family - My parents put a pre-cut footlong sandwich, chips, napkins, and bottles of H20 in a soft sided cooler. They drive to Muny early and park in the Lower Lot. This year, BOTH of them need assistance to their seats. They make it to the benches, cooler in tow, and catch a ride to their seats. Once in their seats, they enjoy a little pre-performance picnic at their seats. I arrive later, usually via Uber, and end up enjoying a little sandwich and chips during intermission (except during Come From Away. Spoiler: Worth it!) I always knew about, and appreciated, The Muny's "free seats." I only learned their originating story this year from Mike Isaacson when he opened the first of seven performances, Bring It On (Spoiler: Also Worth It!). I'm not sure about the process or how early the line starts for the free seats, but I do know The Muny staff welcomes you and wants you there, even if you don't have hundreds or thousands of dollars to spend on tickets. Meet me at the Muny......

    The Muny is iconic in St. Louis as a place to bring the community together in the summers. I don't go to a lot of shows due to the parking situation but this isn't the fault of the Muny, it's just in the middle of Forest Park which proves to be challenging. I definitely recommend avoiding the lot as sometimes people won't let you out afterwards into traffic. Once you get in I recommend hitting concessions before getting seated. There is an intermission but the lines get really busy. The seating isn't staggered so as a short person I find it easier to see from a side angle than down the middle. They also are committed to offering free seats to every show if you're willing to go early and stand in line.

    The Muny is amazing. Lots of seating for any budget range and they do free seats on top sometimes. I have been here two or three times. I may have seen Fiddler on the Roof as a kid which I somewhat recall as I saw it again last fall with my family. I also went with some young adults for the free seats a decade ago but the show was abruptly rained out. I highly recommend this historic venue for both locals and tourists where there are no bad seats and the staff are amazingly friendly.

    The Muny is one of the Top 5 things about St Louis! We were fortunate to enjoy Come From Away on a lovely night. If you need accessibilbe parking there is a lot right off Theater drive. Get there early because the spots fill up. We had several attendants offer to assist me with my daughter in her wheelchair which was very nice. The fans kept the air moving so we were able to enjoy the entire show. You have to go at least once a season!

    My partner and I were eating dinner in Forest Park on a Monday night and decided to spontaneously buy tickets to see Frozen at the Muny about 30 minutes before the show started... best last-minute decision ever! I'd been to a handful of Muny performances over the years, but my most recent visit was the closest I had ever sat. I must say that it's an entirely new and exciting experience when you can clearly see the performers' facial expressions and even the sweat dripping off their faces! You gain the raw emotion and all the heart and soul each and every performer puts into their shows. It's truly remarkable, and I definitely had goosebumps multiple times! The restrooms were very clean, and all the employees scattered throughout the area were friendly and helpful. We ended up sharing a Mango Cart and a soft pretzel with cheese sauce from the concession stand during the intermission, and it was delicious. Such a memorable date night!

    I have loved the Muny since my first time going as a little girl to see South Pacific. I remember feeling such awe at the people on stage pouring their all into each role. As an adult I still often feel that same wonder and I would love to encourage everyone to take the time to come out for a show. The employees are very helpful throughout the venue to help find seats, directions, and parking. The snacks are good and I would recommend an icecream treat to help keep cool in the summer days. This is a fun experience that is well worth the money. There's also free seats available to every show of you come early enough!

    The Muny is a beautiful and historic venue. The employees take great pride in their work as many have worked at The Muny from their teenage years to their senior years. If you get a chance, be sure to ask the employees for some fun stories. Overall, you can't go wrong spending a summer evening here. From the free seats making the arts accessible to the magical dining options at The Culver Pavilion, there are many ways to make your Muny night special. You can even bring in your own soft-sided cooler as long as it fits under your seat. Many people opt to bring their own picnic before settling down for the show. Be prepared to plan for the weather accordingly and stay hydrated during humid summer nights. If you're in need of wheelchair assistance, there are many ushers willing and skilled to help push you to your seat as the venue is up/down a steep incline. Even if you're used to wheeling yourself around, you may find comfort in asking for help because the venue is extremely steep. The performances are high quality and definitely an experience you won't want to miss in St. Louis.

    I went to the Muny with a friend to see Dreamgirls. I haven't been to the Muny in years. We had excellent seats and it was a nice evening, so it wasn't too hot. Be sure to arrive early for street parking. You may want to bring a fan or cooling towel if it's going to be a hot evening. Believe it or not but it can actually get a little chilly after the sun sets, so you may want to bring a sweater or light jacket as well. The production was wonderful. Excellent singing and a great performance! It was a longer show and they did have an intermission. They do have drinks and snacks available for purchase. The Muny provides a great evening out.

    One of my favorite things about St Louis. I have been here 20 years and try to go to as many shows as I can. I used to sit in the free seats a lot but lately pay for C seats to avoid the long bathroom line. The ushers are always so helpful and concession lines are never long. It's fun to go early and picnic on the beautiful grounds before the show.

    The Muny is a staple to St. Louis. If you haven't been, put it on your to do list to visit in Forest Park! For Muny nights, you can either get there super early & take advantage of their free seats or purchase your Muny ticket to get a closer seat! Recently the Muny has gone through some rehab & updates which just enhances your experience.

    I had an incredible experience taking a behind the scenes tour the Muny outdoor theater in St. Louis with Explore St. Louis! Wow! I can't imagine managing and directing a show! Going up on stage and seeing the inter-workings of a show was so awesome! Tracy, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. Funny and witty! She had the best energy! St. Louis truly shines. So many cool things to do like this! I have Muny season tickets and I can't wait for this upcoming 106th season!

    My mother-in-law passed away a couple months ago. We decided to have family pictures here to honor her. I've visited St. Louis many times, but never had been here before. There were so many beautiful places to take pictures and they turned out great.

    We saw a wonderful show and had a blast! The workers are always very helpful. The drink lines went quickly and weren't as pricey as big sports stadiums or larger concert venues.

    See all

    What I love about it is you can bring in your own food and drink or picnic in the park before hand.
