Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS), founded in 1968, is one of the largest producers of musical theater in the U.S.

TUTS’ name originates from performing in its first venue, the Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park. This outdoor setting truly provided spectators "theatre under the stars." TUTS was the first theatrical organization in Houston to perform free to the public at the Miller and has since performed there each summer, giving Houston 42 lavish musicals.

TUTS was chosen by The Walt Disney Company in 1993 to help mount the pre-Broadway World Premiere production of Beauty and the Beast in Houston. At that time, Disney’s CEO Michael Eisner said, "We chose TUTS because of Frank (Young)’s long history with doing musicals." In 1995, TUTS together with the Alley Theatre in Houston and the 5th Avenue Musical Theatre Company in Seattle mounted a revised production of Frank Wildhorn’s Jekyll & Hyde, which went on tour before having a successful run on Broadway.
