Le premier théâtre en plein air d’Austin proposant des spectacles professionnels gratuits sous les étoiles.
Le Zilker Hillside Theater est un lieu de spectacles en plein air très apprécié, situé à Austin, au Texas, connu pour ses comédies musicales et pièces de théâtre gratuites et de grande qualité pendant l’été. Perché sur une colline pittoresque offrant une vue imprenable sur le centre-ville d'Austin, il offre une expérience unique et adaptée aux familles où le public peut apporter des couvertures, des chaises et des pique-niques. Le théâtre accueille des acteurs professionnels, un orchestre en direct et une atmosphère chaleureuse, soutenu par des dons, des concessions et la location de chaises. C'est une institution locale qui allie divertissement et beauté du parc Zilker, ce qui en fait une destination incontournable pour les habitants et les visiteurs.

Tons of parking areas (but do get there early for best options). Steeply sloped hillside area for blankets or chairs. We used a blanket and pillows. Stage is well lit, sound carries easily. We watched “Bring It On” and made our donations to the concessions and bucket brigade. Single bathroom facilities get VERY busy during intermission so we opted for the port-a-potty’s (darker but faster). Handwashing station was also there. After the show, as we walked back to our parking area, the view of downtown was spectacular (beforehand too but I only took a nighttime shot).
If you're in Austin and you don't see the Zilker Hillside Musical at least once a summer, you're missing out. Free, professional, positive. Just go.
Have seen Legally Blonde and Bring It On at Zilker Hillside and were so impressed with the production both times! Take a fan, picnic blanket and food and have a fun night out!
I watched Julius Ceaser in May 2025 and Legally Blonde in July 2024 here. It’s such a wonderful experience, the artists are brilliant and put on a great show always. The hill is perfect for a good view from almost anywhere.
We took our kids to our first Zilker Hillside Theatre show on a Thursday evening. It was the last weekend of the summer show, and although we arrived nearly an hour early, it was already packed! There is lots of free parking, however, be prepared to walk a good distance to the stage. The show is free, but they do accept donations, and also sell snacks, drinks and rent out chairs for the show. Although we came during the summer, the sun wasn't shining directly on the hill, so it was pleasant to sit and wait for it to start (although very hot, we worked up a sweat!). The actual show was amazing! The actors were great and the talent is outstanding. Sometimes the orchestra was louder than the singing, which made it a bit hard to hear. Be sure to get there really early for good seats! People started putting blankets down 2 hours before showtime. Although we weren't far from the stage, we were sort of behind the stage lights pole, and we couldn't see the actors at times. Also be prepared for people coming straight from the river, meaning many people were only in swimsuits and nothing else. Overall it was a great experience and we can't wait for the next show!
