    I have attended a few concerts here and parties too. Beautiful venue. Well organized and friendly staff. Excellent acoustics. This is the world's largest Masonic Temple! Check it out!

    Enjoyed a night of fantastic music from the upper balcony. Nearly everything about the night was amazing. The view from the upper balcony is great (unless you want to be able to see the features on the face of whoever you're seeing--then don't sit here). We were here for the Xcision Nexus tour, and the show is about the music, light display, and videos, so sitting far away wasn't a big deal. The sound is incredible, albeit deafening for a show like this (even my earplugs didn't soften it enough so I left with some extra ringing in my ears), so you can't go wrong in picking a seat as far as sound goes. I was exceedingly impressed with security who ran things with professionalism and integrity from before the show started (organizing and getting people through a line that stretched around corners and down sidewalks on three different streets!) until everyone left for the night. They kept the aisles clear throughout the night so we rarely had anyone standing in front of us while we sat in the front row of the upper balcony. They dealt quickly and professionally with people who were, let's say, not in their right frame of mind and needed an escort or two. Impressive security who did their jobs with tact and care. As far as the downside to the evening? The seats in the upper balcony (at least the two we sat on and the ones next to us) are the most uncomfortable seats I've ever had the displeasure of sitting on in, quite possibly, my entire life. They're broken, with springs sticking up in unpleasant places, and as a result, they're lumpy and do not allow for any resemblance of comfort, let alone good posture, whatsoever. My husband and I both have backaches today, as I knew we would. There is no excuse for not replacing these seats pronto. The only other negative is that it took me almost a half hour to use the bathroom because there are only two stalls for women on the balcony floor. I missed a nice chunk of the main act, but on the bright side, my ears are probably ringing a little less from that intermission. :) But as you can likely tell, it was a great night, and the Masonic is a great place to attend a concert.

    Masonic Temple Candlelight Concert @ Crystal Ballroom

    I've lived in the metro Detroit area all my life and I only recently went to Masonic Temple for a show! I came here and went downstairs to the basement Crystal Ballroom for one of the Fever/Secret Detroit candelight concerts where they performed a ton of Adele's best hits. Because it was dimly lit by candles only and in the basement, I didn't get to see a ton of the rest of Masonic Temple, but of what I did see, it was so cute! This place feels very historic, it's well organized, and the vibes were really vibing! I'm definitely interested in coming here again for another show or concert and eagerly look forward to checking it out more when I do!

    I saw Lorde here and the show was great but I hated this venue. I traveled here from Pittsburgh specifically for this show. First, parking's a nightmare and it was the same night as a wings game. The lots across from the venue were pre-sold passes only and you couldn't pay to park there the day of. Other nearby lots were only for hockey. All the other lots around had a listed price on a sign and then the guy taking your money would tack on an additional $15-25 for himself! Absolutely ridiculous! I ended up parking about five blocks away. There's one single file line that wraps around the building. I get that the pit was GA but it was just stupid with the line. Typical overpriced concert drinks but the bartender was nice. The girls doing security were also nice. This venue gets SO INSANELY HOT. I've never been to an indoor concert that was this warm ever in my 10 years of going to concerts. There were too many people in the pit for the size of area. They didn't give you wrist bands or anything for the pit and I think other people were sneaking into the area from their seats. This place is also old and the floor feels like it's going to fall through. Be prepared for LONGGG bathroom lines. The only reason for giving two stars is because of the nice staff and the fact that they allowed confetti.

    Went to see Brit Floyd. Beautiful old venue. Waited in line outside for about 20 minutes nice weather outside no biggie. No problem with security coming in. Ushers were very helpful directing us to our seats. The seats were comfortable had enough leg room. The show itself was fantastic. The sound was great the light show was great all and all a good time.

    I attended a concert here the other night and was quite impressed with this location. It's massive -- to put it lightly. This is just one concert room, but my friend told me she saw another concert in another space at this same location. I was impressed by the balcony seating. Great view when everyone is sitting. You do have to stand when the people in front of you do, but that's just expected. Still I could see pretty well for being so far up. The sound travels great in this area. I felt like I was in the front row with how good the acoustics are! The employees are also all very kind. One walked me and my friend over to the balcony seating, and they were all very polite in answering basic questions. My only notes is they only opened one bathroom for such a big event space, and it was a little hot in there. But it was a great place!

    I had never been to masonic temple until the past 10 years. This place is rich with history. We have been here on several occasions now. This was definitely a unique opportunity, however. First, the Building is located is sparse. There is not a ton to do around there. But I do foresee huge growth potential in the future. There is paid parking in the lot across the street but we were able to park on the street for free. This was a very intimate event. Less than 100 people. It was a romantic candlelit string quartet. We both have a love of string instruments so this was something that seemed perfect for us. It was flawless and beautiful. Extremely intimate. Seats were spread out around the crystal ballroom. Masks were required. The concert was about an hour and a half which was perfect. We enjoyed this very much and would definitely recommend it.

    Love the artwork!

    I've been to the Masonic Temple a few times, but it's been a long while, so I was pleasantly pleased to see it's still a great venue! We were there this week to see Death Cab for Cutie and it was a great show--fantastic acoustics and the lighting that went along w the music was great. The bathrooms were clean, and I was surprised how fast we got our drinks--the staff were hustling. The inside of the Masonic is beautiful, they've done a great job maintaining it over the years. Overall, we had a fantastic concert experience and we'll definitely go back for another show!

    Where is their Will Call located?

    Are there ladies restrooms upstairs?

    Yes. A very small 6 stall one though.

    I'm curious about seating? Wanting to bring my grand daughter 11 yrs old for concert. Is there a bad seat for her to clearly see stage?

    No, but I do recommend seating in the balcony.

    Do they offer coat check for concerts? If so, how much?

    It varies depending on the artist renting the venus

    How is this place for concerts?

    There's are a couple concert halls here. Both have great acoustics. The history and architecture alone are worth the ticket cost.

During my time with the company (two mainstage productions and one cabaret over about a year and a half), I saw a clear divide between the quality of the performances and the care for the people creating them. After I reported a more serious recent incident to members of leadership, it was deflected and ultimately ignored. In a follow-up call with a board member, he emphasized that their priority was "getting shows on stage," not addressing what happens between cast members offstage. That response made it clear that actor/performer safety and accountability are not treated as part of their responsibilities. From the outside, the organization looks polished and community-oriented. Inside, it lacks consistent, transparent leadership when harm occurs, and more troublingly, behind the curtain in rehearsals and offstage. The company prioritizes polished productions and familiar faces over genuine community. Long-standing contributors, especially skilled musicians or directors who have been around for years - also seem to operate without accountability. When serious issues arise, leadership's focus stays on keeping shows running and maintaining optics, not on addressing harm. This makes it difficult for newer members like myself to feel safe or valued. Connections at this theater stay surface-level because the culture doesn't encourage honesty or care beyond the stage. The theater's attention to sets, ticket sales, and production value is clear, but that same energy is rarely shown for the well-being of the people creating the work. New or prospective members/actors should be mindful of this culture and take care to understand how leadership handles concerns before committing their time energy, and talents here.

This place puts on a professional production, and the theater itself is so comfortable. There's lots of legroom and there aren't any blind spots really. If I had any criticism to give it would be not for the play, but for the concession and the 50/50 tickets. They need to post larger signs so you understand, or definitely have people tending who are bolder individuals.

In all my years of living in metro Detroit and my love for live music, I cannot believe I've never seen a show here, and I cannot wait to go back. We sat on the main floor and were able to get a great view of the vocalists and the orchestra. The acoustics sounded amazing and there truly is no bad seat in the house. Parking was a cinch with their parking garage right across the street. The box office was extremely helpful when I couldn't locate my ticket in my email, and answered my general questions. Now, if you are looking for a dinner idea before the show, the Paradise Lounge on the 2nd floor is featuring Abode catering and I highly recommend! The restaurant is elegant but cozy. Isaac was our server and took excellent care of us. Their prefix menu rotates and is absolutely delicious. The house-made sourdough bread was SO delicious, we asked for seconds. The beet salad, which Isaac said he created, was so fresh and the marriage of flavors was perfect. The entrée gives you a choice of a meat or a vegetarian dish, and we both ordered the chicken, which was yummy, and the Panna cotta and cookies were the perfect ending. The Panna cotta had basil oil with fresh fruit and it was a delightful blend of flavors. They also have a full bar, which is a great place to get your drinks before the show to avoid the crowd of the main level bars. Be sure to check out the lounge before your show!

A variety of classes are offered 7 days a week but unfortunately this past Sunday's were cancelled due to some special event they had (website's schedule is up to date). To book a class is super easy; choose which class you want and it tells you how many open spots are left. You pay via credit card and receive an email confirmation. Upon arrival you just go to either of the studios where the classes are held. I booked a spin class and the instructor came up to introduce herself and asked my name and said she saw it on her roster. As for the class, it was very good and the instructor (Jill) was super nice and chatted with her a bit after. Facility is very clean and the bikes were in excellent condition. The only con is it is very hard to find as there is no signage indicating where the center is located (you see the theater upon arrival). I stopped and asked what appeared to be some city road/construction workers and one was able to give me directions. Saw the building with a huge parking lot and assumed that was it as I saw some people going in who were in workout gear and carrying gym bags.

It's understandable that they need to raise the rates but it's more than a quarter higher than what it initially used to be. In addition to that they're charging a $40 nonrefundable enrollment fee.

I can see increasing the rates but to add a $40 enrollment fee for something that takes the lady behind the desk 30 seconds to issue. Your enrollment fee is ridiculous. I will be seeking my membership elsewhere and it's such a shame because the facility itself is beautiful, although I'm also frustrated with staff that they don't enforce handwashing or wiping down the machines after use so increasing risk of staph, Mrsa, and other illnesses and disease
