- Founded in 1968, Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) is Houston’s acclaimed non-profit musical theatre company and is currently under the direction of President and CEO John C. Breckenridge. TUTS was the first theatrical organization in Houston to perform free to the public in 1968 at Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park, and is the only Houston arts organization that has performed there free to the public every year since the building opened. Since its founding by Frank M. Young, TUTS has produced more than 300 musicals including many local, national and world premieres such as Kopit and Yeston’s Phantom, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Jekyll & Hyde, and Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. TUTS has also produced international tours including Debbie Reynolds in The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Juliet Prowse in Mame, Robert Goulet in Man of La Mancha, as well as critically acclaimed local re-inventions of classics such as Cabaret and Les Miserables. As a way to continue the tradition of musical theatre, TUTS’ Humphreys School of Musical Theatre provides instruction and stage experience for more than 1,700 students annually through both The Academy and The Studio, which allow students to flourish in a year-round schedule of classes. Housed in the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, TUTS also annually presents the Tommy Tune Awards, honoring the best and brightest in Houston’s high school musical theatre programs.

Coming to Theatre Under The Stars....
MISS SAIGON
FEBRUARY 9 - 21, 2010
The heat is on in SAIGON! Relive the tale of the romance between an American GI and a Vietnamese bar girl and their struggle during the Vietnam War. With its exotic setting, but familiar conflict of returning draftees, Miss Saigon makes the story of Madame Butterfly new again. Journey with TUTS halfway around the world for one of the most timeless and moving stories ever told. Don't miss soaring songs like "The Last Night of the World” and roaring production numbers that show a different kind of "American Dream,” and everything to make you attest "I Still Believe.”
