The Muny has released it's 2016 schedule and I am thrilled that The Wizard of Oz is on the schedule June 13-22nd!

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Fly “over the rainbow” for this all-time American and Muny classic. Whenever Dorothy and her friends follow their hearts down the yellow brick road, you’re guaranteed an evening of enchantment. One of the most popular shows—if not THE most popular show – in Muny history, this lavish musical is a joyful reminder that come summer, there’s no place like The Muny.
Each year they offer around 1500 free seats, in the last nine rows, to every performance of the summer season! Free seats are available on a first come, first seat basis and limited wheelchair seating is also available in the free seat section. The gates to the free seats open at 7 pm nightly, however lines begin forming as early as 4 pm so if you are hoping to get a free seat I suggest you go early!
