List of The Muny repertory
The Muny, or the Municipal Opera Association of St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States, is a not-for-profit municipally owned outdoor theatre, the largest in the United States. The Theater was built and opened in 1917 with 6 performances of Verdi's Aida. It operates solely in the summer, and its first official season ran from June to August 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 a one- to, on occasion, three-week run. More recently, however, the Muny has shifted to presenting musicals, some old, some new, and some of the Muny's creation.
Here follows a list of the many shows that the Muny has presented in its summer seasons, with known dates included. To date, the 1919 season is the only one to hold all new productions. By contrast, the 1946 and 1993 seasons have been the only summers where no new shows were added to the repertory.
