2023 Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) Musicals in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) musical in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada

During July and August every year, Theatre Under the Starts (TUTS) puts on famous musicals in beautiful Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park.

Each year 2 different musicals are performed on alternating nights.

All seating is outdoors so be prepared for the weather.  It can get cool at night so bring a sweater and/or an umbrella!

Shows start at 8pm, except on the 3 Celebration of Light Fireworks and Festival nights when they will start at 7pm.  The musicals usually go for about 2.5 hours with a 15-20 break after about 1.5 hours.

There are a few thousand individual seats in a bunch of price categories.  They sell tickets to individual shows or 2 show subscription packs.  Tickets are available at tuts.ca or by calling 1-877-840-0457 (additional $5 per order for phone orders).  For groups of 20+, call 1-604-734-1917.

There is seating "on the hill" on the right-hand side of the venue.  Entry is charged at the lowest fees (e.g. $30 for an adult in 2017).  People bring their own portable seats and/or blankets to sit on.  Usually, there are many families with little kids that sit here.  The only drawback, other than not having a chair provided, is that the view may be limited on the right hand and back side of the stage, i.e. you may not have a completely unobstructed view of the entire stage.

Additionally, there are cushion rentals, photo booth, TUTS museum, and concessions.  You can buy coffee, beer, and wine from booths.  Also, they have a concession stand with a larger selection of food and drink items.
