Editorial Review for Miller Outdoor Theatre – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Inside Hermann Park, you can take a picnic and watch a concert or play--even better, it's free. Essential items for an afternoon or evening on the hill are a blanket, sunscreen and mosquito repellent. The theater was renovated in 2000 and holds a wide variety of family-friendly performances each year, including Cinco de Mayo and Fourth of July festivities. Also catch Shakespeare in the Park, the Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera.

User Reviews for Miller Outdoor Theatre

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

01/21/2003 Posted by Duffy_Dog

Viewing a performance at Miller Outdoor Theatre is reminiscent of a sixties lovefest. People bring the whole family, dogs included. I didn't notice any cats, but would not have been surprised to see them as well. Pick a mild night, and yo'll not have a better outdoor Houston Experience.

Pros: Family Oriented, Ambience, Price ($0.00)

Cons: Can be hot

4 Star Rating: Recommended

Grab a couple of beach chairs, or even blankets and pillows; pack a picnic, and pray for a cool breeze. A very good variety of shows each season. The one unpleasant note would be the heat; my family prefers to avoid July and August here, so we usually miss out on the Shakespeare Festival. If you go, remember your bug spray and bring water!

Pros: free seating, fun atmosphere, ok to bring chairs

Cons: not enough parking, heat in late summer
