Baryshnikov, artistic director of the American Ballet Theatre, will mount a special program of classic and modern ballet, which will be performed at The Muny Aug. 8-14. Miss Redgrave will star as Anna in “The King and I.” Also on the summer schedule is the incomparable John Raitt, who will play the title role in “Man of La Mancha.” Returning to The Muny stage this year after their spectacular sell-out debut last year will be Lucie Arnaz and Laurence Luckinbill in the delightful comedy, “I Do! I Do!” In addition, the record-breaking hit, “Annie,” will also be performed at The Muny this summer. Additional stars and shows will be announced when they become available.
