Review: Disney Magic Meets Muny Magic in a Fairytale Production of DISNEY'S THE LITTLE MERMAID

The Muny’s production of Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID is a visually stunning explosion of color. Director John Tartaglia, his actors and technical teams collaborate to tell a memorable story that feels more animated movie than live musical theater. It is Tartaglia’s vision and leadership, the enthusiasm and vocal performance of his talented cast, and the vibrant effervescence of the set, costumes/wigs, choreography, puppets, lighting, video projections, sound, and music that make this an exuberant production.

Review: DREAMGIRLS at The Muny

Tiffany Mann is magnificent in The Muny's DREAMGIRLS as Effie White. She is a powerhouse performer with riveting stage presence and gigantic voice. Her heartbroken, resentful, and bitter portrayal painted a determined Effie who would not be pushed aside.

Review: LES MISERABLES at The Muny is a an Exquisite Production Filled with World-Class Vocal Talent

The Muny has set a high bar for the remaining productions of their 106th season with an exquisite production of a beloved classic.
