A friend gave a group of us tickets to the Hunting Shack Christmas play. Never been there before…read moreso did not know what to expect. When we arrived we noticed that there was not a lot of parking available. Maybe we just couldn't see further back behind the building but it didn't seem like there was going to be a lot of parking. We were kind of surprised that the theater was not completely full so not sure if just a lot of people drove in separate cars or what. We walked in and there was really no direction as to which way to go to enter the theater area. We finally asked somebody, who graciously directed us to the correct door. It was easy to find our seats and the seats were comfortable, even as slightly larger people. Not long after we arrived the play began. I had no idea what we were in for with this play but quickly found that it was lighthearted and funny. Just like any play or show, there were areas that I liked better and there were areas that I did not like as much. I really struggled with was the use of a shotgun in one of the scenes. Just two days prior a student at Oxford high school shot numerous classmates and staff, tragically killing 4 of the students. It was hard to laugh at the comedy that was associated with the scene knowing the horrific violence that just occurred two days prior less than 40 miles from us. As I write this review three days later, I still struggle with that scene in the play as my heart continues to ache for the young souls lost in Oxford.

I especially like that they help us line up and get through the restrooms and back in our seats during the intermission. Everything was spotless and had a beautiful holiday vibe; lots of bars throughout so no wait in line, and even getting in and out of the surface lot only took about 10 minutes. We each had a lovely Moscow mule and the show was fantastic. We were in the "penthouse" as the volunteers call it, and even up there, we had a great view and beautiful sound. Also, the retail shops on the first floor were open, so you could do a little shopping before or after the show; I think we'll go even earlier next time to take it all in. A wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see another show here.

I know everyone has said it, but there really isn't a bad seat in the house (to the point where I'll probably never pay for anything other than the cheapest seats). It is very clean. I prefer this theatre to larger ones...you feel much more involved with the show & don't struggle to hear/see, so you get all of the details. Great for a casual, cheap date. I also liked the convenience of everything downtown has to offer being right outside. Parking was a hit too- even though Monster Jam at Ford Field & another show at The Fillmore were going on, we were able to park behind City Theatre for ten bucks. Maybe it was just a lucky day, I don't know. Venue aside, I have to say that Robocop The Musical! was amazing, maybe even the best show I've been to. Impressive, clever, localized script and talented actors that made me laugh on a day when I was super sick & crabby. I am so excited about what a great night I had at this place!

The show started at about 8:10, and was over by 9:40 or so. I must compliment the theater on keeping the temperature at a nice, cool, comfortable level. It was pretty hot outside, so it was great not to be actively sweating during the performance. It was a great night.

There is a nice open lobby where you can hang out before the show, grab some refreshments (at super-reasonable prices) and meet the actors after the performance. I purchased my tickets online a couple weeks before the show. It was simple and the processing fee was only $1.25 in addition to the ticket price. A small fee to reserve tickets for what ended up being a sold-out show! Ushers directed us to our seats, which were plush and had an excellent view (row 4). The problem with seeing The Full Monty is that the audience was 90% women, which resulted in a very long line for the restroom at intermission. Besides that, no complaints about the theatre. There's plenty of nearby parking. The sound, lighting and sets were excellent. And so was the play! I'm looking for the next DAG production so I can catch it here.

We arrived early for our Nutcracker performance in a Saturday evening and had no problems parking in the lot adjacent to the venue. Parking was $20 which was a good price for the area. Other lots were charging. $20-$30. We felt our car was safe and attended to. We then entered the Hall early and were allowed to walk around with few visitors. What a treat. The architecture is beautiful with so many details to view. There was a jazz lounge which looked like a nice place to hang out and socialize before a performance. The bathrooms were spotless. We then walked around the downtown and took in all the holiday lights. Truly beautiful. The downtown area is vibrant, busy and feels very safe to explore on foot. Our seats, center mezzanine, were perfect. The attendants were helpful. The carpets and chairs were clean. Our seats were comfortable. The auditorium felt intimate and cozy though big enough to accommodate a good number of people. I would have been pleased with any seat in the house. We loved the State Ballet of Ukraine's rendition of the Nutcracker. Perfect night and experience to begin the holidays.

Facility is clean and has such beautiful architecture. Acoustics are wonderful and there are no "bad seats". The show was AMAZING and my seat was fantastic. Back of the main floor on the aisle, which meant seamless entry and exit. There are plenty of restrooms on each floor and they are very clean. In addition, snacks are available for purchase. Merchandise selection was great and they had some pretty nice bundle deals. I purchased a blanket, Hakuna Matata tea mug and received a tote bag for $65. This is a traveling production. I highly recommend seeing it! The stage, costumes, music, and story are heartwarming. A great night out in Downtown Detroit!
