The Muni Takes Home Top Honors in Illinois Times’ Best of Springfield 2014 - Theater Categories

You Like Us, You Really Like Us! (And We Like You Too!)

The Muni Takes Home Top Honors in Illinois Times’
Best of Springfield 2014 - Theater Categories

Congratulations to the staffs, casts, and crews for The Muni’s productions of All Shook Up and Shrek: The Musical, in taking home the Illinois Times’ Best of Springfield 2014 top honors for “BEST LIVE THEATER PRODUCTION” – Winner and Runner-up!

We also send our warmest congratulations to our very own Fiona – Hannah Siehr – for winning “BEST THEATER PERFORMANCE: FEMALE” for her performance in Shrek: the Musical. Let your freak flag fly girl!

And to our friend over at STC, Jim Leach, for winning “BEST THEATER PERFORMANCE: MALE” for his performance as Daddy Warbucks in “Annie” – our hats are off to you as well!

We already knew that we had the best audience members around, but this just proves it. To everyone who shared in “The Muni Magic” to make this happen, thank you from the very bottom of our tippy-tap-shoes to the top of our wig-adorned-heads for your support this, and every, summer. We look forward to seeing you again in 2015 for our 50th Anniversary Celebration Season!

(Pardon our overuse of the exclamation point, but we are overjoyed with this exciting news!)
