The July 26 performance of The Muny's Legally Blonde The Musical, which opened July 25, has been canceled due to flooding in Forest Park and on The Muny campus caused by record-breaking rainfall.
The rescheduled performance will take place August 1 at 8:15 PM. All tickets will automatically be rescheduled for that performance. Ticket holders may visit Muny.org for more information. The July 27 performance will go on as scheduled.
“Above all else, our thoughts are with all other flood victims in the region,” said Muny President and CEO Kwofe Coleman. “Despite the shocking damage we found today on the grounds of The Muny, we are thankful to be able to reschedule tonight’s performance for Monday evening. I am personally grateful for everyone who has adjusted so quickly and worked to make this happen.”
