Beauty and the Beast at Zilker Park

You ask why I love Austin....reason right here....Beauty and the Beast (the musical) outside, under the stars in Zilker Park. Ashley and I went down to Zilker for the second week, last week it got canceled for bad weather, but tonight it was perfect!

This year marks the 50th Annual Zilker Summer Musical Series with Beauty and the Beast...and it's FREE!! I took along my camera to see about getting some pictures of the wonderful actors, costumes and the set even though they ask for no flash photography...so this is good as it could be.

So you should all go out and support this. They are playing every Thursday-Sunday at 8:30 until August 9th!!
