Something Rotten The Muny Show

The Muny in St. Louis is a true cornerstone of American outdoor theatre, with a history that’s as colorful as the shows it hosts. It’s seen everything from legendary stars like Channing performing in Hello Dolly! back in 1965 to today’s lively productions like Something Rotten. This place has weathered economic ups and downs by getting creative—cutting ticket prices and keeping the experience affordable and fun. The outdoor stage is set in a lush green space right in Forest Park, and the rear standing area gives audiences a closer, more energetic view of the action, especially when you want to feel like part of the show. Getting there is pretty easy too—especially if you take the park’s shuttle during busy nights. From the Gateway Arch, just head west on Market Avenue until you spot the theatre, nestled among the trees. Watching Something Rotten at The Muny isn’t just a night at the theatre—it’s an experience wrapped in history, charm, and a whole lot of theatrical magic.
