Each show will also feature live entertainment via video from Muny artists from around the country, such as cast reunion sing-alongs; dance pieces created and filmed at The Muny; live, vocal performances from a Muny artist; and Broadway-style musical numbers from real-life Muny couples.

After the live Monday night broadcast, each program will be re-aired once on its following Thursday at 8:15 p.m. Every program will be closed-captioned and audio-described.

The complete lineup for each episode of “The Muny 2020 Summer Variety Hour Live!” will be announced the Friday prior to each Monday night performance. For more information, visit muny.org.
