Arts & Culture
America's oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre. "The Muny" just celebrated 100 years in 2018, and you won't find anything like it anywhere else. It's tradition to pack a picnic in the park before the show. You'll see many men in sports coats still to honor the theatre...even when it's 100 degrees (not us though).
