Directed by Cynthia Onrubia with musical direction by Michael Horsley, the Tony-winning musical will play the St. Louis venue June 11–17. Chris Bailey is the production supervisor.
The Setter serves as the evening’s narrator and performs throughout the show, including the roles of Pa in High Button Shoes and Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. Jason Alexander created the role of The Setter on Broadway in 1989, earning a Tony Award.
“Rob is an amazing talent loved by the Muny audience,” said Muny Executive Producer and Artistic Director Mike Isaacson in a statement. “The first spoken word of the first show of The Muny’s 100th Season is ‘Welcome,’ and I’m thrilled it will come from Rob.”
