When the Muny opens tonight with Beautiful, The Carole King Musical, it will continue a tradition of offering nearly 1,500 free seats available nightly on a first-come, first-served basis.
Kwofe Coleman explains how, for a couple hours on a given summer night, 11,000 people from all walks of life can share a common experience.
