Photo Flash: Go Backstage with AIDA at The Muny

Wig design is by John Metzner and the production stage manager is Monica Dickhens. Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida is proudly sponsored by Edward Jones.

Set in ancient Egypt, Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is an epic tale of an enslaved Nubian princess, Aida, a jealous Egyptian princess, Amneris, and the soldier they both love, Radames. As the story unfolds, forbidden love blossoms and a choice must be made between leading with a yearning heart or a responsible mind. Filled with love, loyalty, betrayal and murder, this finale to The Muny's 98th season will be "Written in the Stars" with this enchanting production re-envisioned for The Muny stage.
