The Muny Revises 2020 Schedule;\u00a0 Season
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Based on\u00a0 Health Information Available June 8 <\/strong><\/h1>\n

With careful and ongoing consideration, The Muny announced Monday a revised schedule to offer musical theatre in Forest Park this summer. Pushing opening night to late July, The Muny hopes to present five of the seven productions originally announced in the 2020 season, with the other two productions being postponed until the 2021 season.<\/p>\n

The decision to continue planning and moving forward at this time with a modified season was made based on all available information from national and local health experts and officials. The Muny continues to monitor and adapt to the guidance of those officials with the best interest of the community in mind. If by June 8 conditions for a July 20 opening have not been deemed safe and positive for our community, the entire season will be postponed until the summer of 2021.<\/p>\n

The modified 2020 season featuring new production dates includes:<\/p>\n

Chicago | July 20-26<\/p>\n

The Sound of Music | July 29 – August 4<\/p>\n

On Your Feet! | August 7-13<\/p>\n

Smokey Joe’s Cafe | August 15-21<\/p>\n

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers | August 24-30<\/p>\n

The two shows originally slated for the seven-show lineup that will move into the 2021 season are: Disney and Cameron Mackintosh\u2019s Mary Poppins and Sweeney Todd.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince early March, The Muny team has been exploring every possibility that would give us the best chance of presenting a season for our audience so long as the environment becomes safe and healthy enough to do so,\u201d said Muny Chairman of the Board, Louis A. Cella. \u201cLike you, we hope this situation continues to improve so that we may gather to celebrate our Muny magic once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re hopeful that by late July we will be far enough on the other side of this situation to have the chance to share a few nights under the stars together at The Muny,\u201d said Muny President and CEO, Denny Reagan. \u201cUltimately, the guidance of health and government officials will determine if this is possible.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this incredibly challenging time, it has been so gratifying how our subscribers, donors and friends have been telling us how much they hope they will get their Muny season,\u201d said Muny Artistic Director and Executive Producer, Mike Isaacson. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful to all of the creative teams and artists for their continued faith in The Muny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current season ticket holders will be contacted personally with more information regarding their options and next steps. New season tickets for the five-show package are available now.<\/p>\n
