Trulaske Jr. Family Foundation, Interco Charitable Trust and an anonymous donor.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 The existing 25-year-old theatre seats are scheduled for removal in September 2026, after Season 108. Construction will be completed before the start of the 109th Muny season in June 2027.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThis is a transformational project for our theatre and our audience,\u201d said Muny President &amp; CEO Kwofe Coleman. \u201cIt\u2019s a Muny-size undertaking, and we\u2019re incredibly grateful to the donors whose support makes it possible to care for our historic home and prepare it for the future.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The approximately 10,700 flip-down seats in the auditorium have reached the end of their expected lifespan \u2014 many are faded and cracked.

The original seat manufacturer is no longer in business, and replacement parts are not available.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 The project will address long-term maintenance demands while enhancing the audience experience. Opportunities are being explored to create premium configurations in underutilized seating areas.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The project also will improve sightlines along cross aisles. All theater railings will be replaced, and cupholders will be added for seats in the front row.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 The nearly 11,000 seats at The Muny have reached the end of their expected 25-year lifespan.

Structural concerns have been identified in the upper terraces and at the sound mix area behind Terrace A.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Devastating flash flooding in 2022 underscored the vulnerability of the Enterprise Holdings Orchestra Pit, which houses millions of dollars\u2019 worth of automation equipment, sound gear and musical instruments. y.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first phase of drainage improvements was completed in 2025 with the installation of a permeable paver and drainage system on the new Kooyumjian Family Plaza at the rear of the theatre. This system has already significantly reduced the flow of underground water beneath the seating area. To address drainage and sightline issues, a small net reduction in the number of seats will be necessary. But with more than 10,000 seats, The Muny will remain America\u2019s oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 A limited number of The Muny\u2019s old theatre seats will be available for purchase starting Dec. 8.
