Loves of Austin - Zilker Musicals

It took me three years to finally make it out to the FREE, that's right free, musical they put on in Zilker park every summer.  This year they are performing Footloose, so I knew I wanted to go see it.  My mom and I decided to head out there a little early, and since you can bring in food and drink, we made a night of it.  We picked our spot on the hill, and I packed up a delicious cooler full of sandwiches, chips and of course my tart {will be sharing that recipe tomorrow} for the evening. 

Go early if you want a decent seat - it fills up fast.  You can leave your blanket or chairs unattended after 6 p.m.  The play begins at sunset, approx. 8:30.  I LOVED it.  The vocalist were really good and I especially enjoyed the dry humor in the show.   I highly recommend going to see it before it's over.  Here is the flier -

We had such a good time.  Here are some pictures from the night -

Our spot from the hill.  We did pretty good, but they had the whole front blocked off because we picked the sponsor appreciation dinner night... Still worth it. 

Mom and I - pre-sore butts.  I also recommend bringing chairs or a pillow to sit on.  After all that time, that ground does not feel good.

You have to love all the amazing and free stuff to do in Austin in the summer!
