Cory BennettJuly 6, 2018Amazing outdoor venue. The only negative is something they can't control - the weather. We saw Singing in the Rain most recently, and it was fantastic.
Shakespeare Festival St. LouisMarch 13, 2011Musical theatre in the open air! Our neighboring theatre in Forest Park, the Muny's season starts just after Shakespeare Festival ends so be sure to come back to Forest Park for more theatre fun!
If you want to sit in the free seats, gates open at 7. For most shows, you can get there by 6:30 & be guaranteed a seat. For the more popular shows, plan to get there no later than 6.
Khrystal K. DavisMarch 12, 2016The off Broadway performances here are top shelf. It can be uncomfortable when it's hot and humid. They did put in large fans that are quiet. There are free seats at the back with a separate entrance.
Brock GregoryJanuary 19, 2013Love this place. Went during summer of 2012 to see dream girls and it was amazing. We were sitting about 13 rows back and it was perfect. Can get uncomfortable if its too hot. The huge fans help
Jennifer ShewJune 30, 2017Be sure to get there early if you're going to wait in line for the free seats. Bring a blanket and have an in-queue picnic! Eat beforehand; the concessions are kind of pricey.
The free seats are in the back. You'll want to arrive about an hour early to make sure you get good ones. You can also bring in drinks and snacks. No hard she'll coolers, no aluminum cans.
Park in upper Muny Lot. Come early the lines form up long before 7pm entry. Not a bad seat in the place.
Always try to get tickets off of the center. Less likelihood of someone's head being directly in front of you, and you can see the show through the "windows" of the heads in front of you.
If you're a mom bringing your talkative, easily distracted child-under-5 please be nice enough to keep them quiet so that the people around you don't want to punch them.- A St Louis Gem! Enjoy the best Broadway shows outdoors. First come first serve free seats. Be prepared for the weather - it is St Louis after all.
Laura RoggAugust 5, 2015Always a must see while in St Louis! Be sure to check the weather and dress appropriately. You can also bring food and drink items in with you.- Karen>ArchCityHomesOctober 22, 2011Enter from Cricket on Lindell, then park on the street near the parking lot (but not in the parking lot). And it's worth paying for the cheapest seats rather than arriving so early for free seats.
Elke OvertonAugust 5, 2013What a great venue! Super high level of talent and beautiful outdoor space!
If you're on a budget, you can sit in the free seats. You don't get a program, but you can get it off their website.
Samet KayaAugust 1, 2016Good place to watch Broadway shows.There are free seats at the back so you can watch it free
Come on out and take advantage of the free seats! Great way to see quality performances and enjoy the outdoors during the summer.
Chris V.July 29, 2012Brown bag it before the show at the small pavilion on the north side & enjoy other show tunes performed wonderfully as a warm-up for what's to come!
Jenna JacobsenJune 18, 2013Pay extra money for awesome seats! Worth it! Arrive early bc the parking is always a mess before and after

Steve CarletonAugust 13, 2012Arrive early & sit in the free seats. No Glass or aluminum containers please!
Jennifer HollisterJune 30, 2013Get here around 6 if you want to get in for the free seats... Seating opens at 7 and show starts at 8:15
Awesome place! had season tickets for years and its constantly getting better!
DO NOT PARK IN THE PARKING LOT! If possible park on the street. The walk is worth it!
Melissa SJune 27, 2013Ride the Muny Trolley to and from the show. It picks up at the Forest Park MetroLink Station.- Michael FlavinJuly 25, 2015Everyone has to go here at least once, then immediately head to Ted Drewes afterwards.
My daughter loves the strawberry sorbet cones, but be aware the cones are pretty soggy.
Don't take pictures during the show unless you want to be kicked out. HEED THE WARNING!!!!
- Jamie HoskinsJuly 20, 2012Save your 4.00 US dollars and skip the Rocky Mountain ice cream cone... It taste like frozen breast milk made into icecream... #weaksauce
Awesome shows! Pay the extra money and get a good seat!
