Getting to the Big Apple with kids is a tall order. If you’re craving a little taste of Broadway, swap the traffic, taxis and tantrums (oh, and tired wallet) for an evening here at home.

Zilker Theatre Productions does Broadway Austin-style: in the park and under the stars. Starting June 28th, Belle, the Beast and enchanted household characters bring Disney’s Beauty and the Beast to life at sunset in Zilker Park. Not only do your kids get to see the lavish Disney musical, but this magical evening al fresco is free of charge.

Skip the song and dance of travel without missing the song and dance.
