The Muny announced today the exciting seven show lineup for its 104th Season in 2022.
The triumph of the 2021 season returns when six-time Tony Award-winning Chicago kicks off 2022 (June 13-19). The salacious turns enchanting with Lerner and Loewe's Excalibur-sharp classic Camelot (June 22-28). Fulfilling two 2020 commitments to the Muny audience: all-time family favorite Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins will finally soar over The Muny (July 5-13), followed by the long-awaited Muny debut of Stephen Sondheim's spine-tingling musical masterpiece, Sweeney Todd (July 16-22). The fabulously fun award-winning musical Legally Blonde (July 25-31) bounces back to the Muny stage for its first production in 11 years. Making its Muny debut, the landmark musical The Color Purple (August 3-9) bears a Grammy Award-winning score and moving tale of love, faith, resilience and sisterhood. Closing out the 104th Season is Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's multi-colored family favorite, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (August 12-18).
The seven shows are: Chicago (June 13-19), Camelot (June 22-28), Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins (July 5-13), Sweeney Todd (July 16-22), Legally Blonde (July 25-31), The Color Purple (August 3-9) and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (August 12-18).
