When you think of live theater and orchestra events, you might think New York, Boston or San Francisco, but the city of St. Louis has an impressive selection of theater and music events throughout the year.
Summer sets the stage for America's largest and oldest outdoor theater, The Muny. This St. Louis landmark offers an array of popular musicals during the summer months, including traditional Broadway hits such as Bye Bye Birdie to quirky offerings such as Little Shop of Horrors.
The Grand Center is another unique St. Louis offering. This four-block area includes galleries, museums, the historic Fox Theatre and Powell Symphony Hall, which is the home of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
At Fox Theatre, you will find live concerts, featuring artists such as Santana, Steely Dan, Frankie Valli and other popular artists. Theater productions, such as Memphis and Mamma Mia are also on the theater schedule.
For an eclectic mix of artists in a historic setting, consider heading to the Sheldon Concert Hall. The hall itself dates to 1912 and has featured everything from musical acts to speeches from the likes of Albert Einstein and Dwight Eisenhower. Today there are several categories of musical events, such as the Notes From Home series that features local musicians to Jazz at the Sheldon, which is a mix of modern jazz and legendary artists.
The aforementioned are just the tip of the iceberg. St. Louis is famous for its blues and jazz music, and you'll find plenty of clubs and small theaters dedicated to this art form. The Stray Dog Theatre is an off-beat non-profit theater that offers a mix of plays and musicals performed by local actors. The Touhill Peforming Arts Center is yet another offering, with a full range of performances, including dance, opera, jazz, classical music and international music.
When searching for ideal St. Louis accommodations, consider the posh Fleur-De-Lys Mansion. This historic St. Louis bed & breakfast has been painstakingly restored, combining modern comforts while preserving many original design elements. There are four spacious guest rooms to choose from, each with a luxurious private bath.
Each guest room at this St. Louis bed and breakfast is special, from the ambiance of the Reservoir Park room with its poster bed or the romance of the Forest Park room, which features an in-room Jacuzzi for two. In every room, the innkeepers provide plenty of amenities. Beds are topped with down comforters and lavender-rinsed, 600-thread-count sheets. Guest baths, some with jetted tubs, are stocked with L'occitane bath products. In the mornings, guests are treated to a lavish full breakfast.
