The Muny Will Receive the
2025 Regional Theatre Tony Award

The Tony Awards Administration Committee has announced that, based on the recommendation of the American Theatre Critics Association, The Muny will be the recipient of the 2025 Regional Theatre Tony Award. The honor, recognizing a regional theatre company that has displayed a continuous level of artistic achievement contributing to the growth of theatre nationally, is accompanied by a grant of $25,000, made possible by City National Bank.
“We are thrilled to honor The Muny with this year’s Regional Theatre Tony Award,” said Jason Laks, president of The Broadway League, and Heather Hitchens, president & CEO of The American Theatre Wing. “For over a century, The Muny has been a cultural cornerstone of St. Louis, producing first-class musicals in a setting unlike any other. With a deep commitment to accessibility, offering over 100,000 free tickets each season, and career development programs that nurture future theatre professionals, The Muny exemplifies the spirit of this award. We are proud to celebrate a beloved American institution dedicated to one of our nation’s most treasured art forms.”
Now entering its 107th season in St. Louis, The Muny is a nonprofit committed to producing exceptional musical theatre that is accessible to all, while continuing its remarkable tradition in Forest Park. As the nation’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre, The Muny welcomes more than 300,000 patrons each summer for seven world-class productions under the stars.
“We have had the unique privilege of enriching millions of lives over the past 107 years — often providing a first taste of the magic of live theatre,” said Muny President & CEO Kwofe Coleman. “It is gratifying to be recognized by our peers for the work we have done and will continue to do into the next century. We can’t wait to celebrate this tremendous honor with our subscribers, Muny Guarantors and patrons in a few short weeks.”
The Muny — the Municipal Theatre Association of St. Louis — is truly alone in its greatness. Each production is built from the ground up — cast, directed, choreographed, rehearsed, designed, built and orchestrated — right here in St. Louis, making The Muny an unparalleled musical theatre destination for audiences and artists alike.
“The beautiful honor really goes to the generations of artists, craftspeople and administrators who have worked tirelessly to create great musical theatre for the people of St. Louis,” said Muny Artistic Director & Executive Producer Mike Isaacson. “It is deeply moving and powerful to have their work honored by The Broadway League, The American Theater Wing and The American Theatre Critics Association.”
