Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park 2011
byTheatre Under the Stars (“TUTS”) first premiered at the Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park in 1940 and it’s still going strong. On stage for July and August 2011 TUTS presents Bye Bye Birdie and Anything Goes.
Bye Bye Birdie “Rock and roll returns to Malkin Bowl as Bye Bye Birdie, written by Michael Stewart with music by Charles Strouse and Lyrics by Lee Adams, kicks off the 65th season. Set in 1960 as teenagers all across North America are going crazy for rock star, Conrad Birdie.”
Bye Bye Birdie will be presented even days in July and odd days in August, and Anything Goes will be odd days in July and even days in August. All shows start at 8pm except if it’s a fireworks night (July 30, August 3, August 6) then they’ll begin at 7:00pm. Tickets are currently on sale starting at $29 with group rates available. Children 5 and under are free.
I have a ticket giveaway for each performance starting today with Bye Bye Birdie. If you would like a pair of tickets for this season’s Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park, here’s how you can enter to win:

I’m making my first visit to Vancouver in Aug with my 9 year old niece. It would be awesome if I won tickets to the play. See you soon!
Going to TUTS would help me relive my childhood of staring in one of the plays!
TUTS is amazing. I saw Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat last year (twice!!!!) and I was in awe of the talent, especially the young talent right here in Vancouver. I highly recommend it. Sit closer to the stage if you can, it’s worth it!
Take a blanket and some bug spray – and enjoy!
Bye Bye Birdie
