A host of Broadway actors will take part in 90 Years of Muny Magic, an upcoming revue that celebrates the 90th season of the famed St. Louis Muny, the nation's oldest and largest outdoor theatre.

Written and directed by Paul Blake, the revue, according to the Muny, will "take the audience on a musical journey from grand opera and operettas to rock musicals. Relive old memories and create new ones, when you meet us at The Muny, for our celebrated 90th season." Performance dates are July 14-20 at 8:15 PM nightly.

The starry cast will boast Michel Bell, James Clow, Kim Crosby, Erin Davie, Leslie Denniston, Francis Jue, Peter Lockyer, Dirk Lumbard, Ken Page, Meredith Patterson, Lee Roy Reams, Graham Rowat and Betsy Wolfe.

The ensemble comprises Etai BenShlomo, Ted Ely, Lora Lee Gayer, Nicole Hren, Drew Humphrey, Nathan Madden, Anne Markt, Tony Neidenbach, Emily Knox Peterson, Ruth Pferdehirt, Alex Puette, Peggy Quinn, Phillip Skaggs, Michaeljon Slinger, Karilyn Ashley Surratt, Carlye Tamaren and Elena Zahlmann.

The creative team will also include choreographers Kevin Backstrom, Kelli Barclay, Gemze DeLappe, Liza Gennaro and Dirk Lumbard; musical director Michael Horsley; lighting designer David Lander; set designer Michael Anania; and sound designer Jason Krueger. Joseph Schulte is resident stage manager, Peter Hynds is production stage manager and Megan Ditmann is assistant stage manager.

The Muny has offered musical theatre in an outdoor setting since 1919.

The summer at the Muny will also include productions of My Fair Lady (July 7-13), Miss Saigon (July 21-27), My One and Only (July 28-Aug. 3) and Fiddler on the Roof (Aug. 4-10).
