Since I've chosen to dedicate my blog to musicals, I felt this was an appropriate choice of image to include. For those of you not from the St. Louis area, this is The Muny amphitheater in Forest Park. It's huge and old and every summer it shows one musical each week. When I was in high school, class officers were given season passes to the Muny, and I managed to get my class officer friends to take me there a few times. I've also been with my family and several times when I've travelled back to the area. My parents even went to the Muny on one of their first dates, and saw Finian's Rainbow. So, you see it is unavoidable for me to like this place--it runs in my family.
The Muny is very "St. Louis," and when you go, you see everyone you could possibly imagine. There are free bleachers up in the nose-bleed section, and then the tickets range from cheap (performers the size of ants) to expensive (actually being able to see the performers' facial features). Going there is as much for the atmosphere as it is for the show. It's a great way to spend a sumer night, even when suffering from the unbearable heat and humidity of outdoor theater.
