Kung Fu Cowgirl The Musical
About the event
Kung Fu Cowgirl The Musical follows a young woman from Kung Fu Village with Texas-sized ambitions. Fast as a roundhouse kick, dramatic as a spaghetti Western, and full of laughs for children and adults alike, this original Austin musical brings East-meets-West adventure to Beverly S. Sheffield Hillside Theater. Audiences can expect infectious original music with Western twang and Eastern ripples, as funk, jazz, rap, and Broadway collide in a family-friendly showdown of kung fu, rodeo games, lasso whips, and a Chinese-versus-Texas barbecue battle royale. Join us under the Texas stars as Kung Fu Cowgirl enters the town’s Rodeo Games to reclaim her mother’s treasure, teams up with the charming but roguish Cowboy Cody, and faces off against the dangerous teahouse empress, Madam Babel. This free outdoor musical invites Austinites, visitors, families, and theater lovers to bring a blanket, settle onto the hillside, and experience a new multicultural musical made right here in Austin. You may leave yearning to roundhouse-kick, two-step quick, and chomp on barbecue on a stick.
