Directed by Steve Kaplan, a cast of local actors brings the first Muni production to the shores of Springfield for eight nights in The Muni’s open-air theater. The bluegrass and country-scored musical follows Huckleberry Finn and Jim on their adventure rafting down the mighty Mississippi. Big River won the 1985 Tony awards for Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score, Best Direction of a Musical and several more. Grab your chairs and watch from the lawn for $8, or reserve a seat for $12.
