The Muny has announced the lineup for its 102nd season, featuring Muny premieres of “Sweeney Todd” and “Smokey Joe’s Café,” as well as the Midwest regional premiere of “On Your Feet!” and the return of crowd favorites “The Sound of Music” and Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins.”
The seven-show lineup for 2020 opens with Kander and Ebb’s six-time Tony Award-winning “Chicago” (June 15 to 21), followed by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s “Mary Poppins” (June 24 to July 2). The season continues with two Muny premieres—Stephen Sondheim’s musical masterpiece, “Sweeney Todd” (July 6 to 12), and Broadway’s longest running musical revue, “Smokey Joe’s Café” (July 14 to 20), set in St. Louis’ historic Gaslight Square. Then, “The Sound of Music” (July 23 to 29) makes its highly anticipated return to The Muny stage after a decade, followed the Midwestern regional premiere of the international sensation, “On Your Feet!” (Aug. 1 to 7). Closing out the season is the Golden Age Muny favorite, “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (Aug. 10 to 16).
The 2020 season continues the tradition of “something for everyone” in St. Louis, according to Muny artistic director and executive producer Mike Isaacson.
“These shows offer incredible variety, beauty, fun and drama, and we’ll create with the fullness and power of our amazing new stage,” Isaacson said.
And after a 101st season filled with only-at-The Muny moments, expect the new season’s blockbuster lineup to do provide audiences with even more memories, said Muny president and CEO Denny Reagan.
“We expect this season to have a broad appeal with a mix of titles tailored specifically to what Muny-goers voted to see,” Reagan noted.
Steward Family Foundation and World Wide Technology, which became the first overall season sponsor in the history of The Muny in 2014, will continue in that role as The Muny’s 2020 Season Presenting Sponsor.
