Imagine Detroit's finest theatre, The Fox, being used as a parking garage…read more Why that would be ludicrous!!! An abomination!!! Blasphemy!!! Unfortunately, this was the fate of the now crumbling Michigan Theatre. Once a crown jewel of Detroit, the theatre captured the very essence of the opulence of the city's new found wealth during the roaring twenties. Three million dollars went into building this lavish structure, and now it's decaying as a parking garage. **smh** If you're fascinated with historic buildings or looking to do some urban exploring, def pay a visit to the Michigan Theatre. It's a fully functioning three-story parking facility that you can access thru the main or side entrance. Please note, it's open to visitors Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00am-4:00pm. You might think you can sneak past that squirly security guard, but don't underestimate him -or- the creeper parking attendant that lurks in the corner of the garage perched on an arm rest with cat in tow (à la Dr. No), as they'll instruct you to return during regular business hours.

Tried to go and see this garage in person on a Monday afternoon and it was closed. There were no…read moresigns indicating why or until when it was closed. We tried every possible entrance on the sides of the building even through the garage but the garage was gated off and required some sort of badge to enter despite the large yellow sign that read "PARKING". Disappointing. One star.

Awesome venue from the friendliest ushers when you first walk in to the personal feel of the small…read moretheatre. 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!

Went the other day to see "Ernie." It was a great show. We parked at the Fox Theatre parking…read morestructure for $5, and were able to get right into the theater just before showtime at 8. 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.

Holy cow this place is such a cool hidden gem! Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, but I am…read moresure it is much much more polished today than it was even a few years ago. Going to see a picture at the Senate makes me feel like I'm one of the cool kids or in on some kind of local secret. The star of the show is the organ. Don't sleep on the pre-show organ recitals. This ain't your momma's church organ. This is an organ designed for silent movies and you can hear the difference. That might sound a bit odd, but trust me on this one. But the building is also super cool. I love the way the lobby abuts the theater. There are no doors dividing the two which is just one of many classic design elements that make you feel like you're spending the evening in a different era. Same for the concession prices! And for that matter, the ticket prices. It's hard to beat $6 to get in and $2 for a drink. Of course, for these prices you aren't getting modern sound or screen quality. And while the all volunteer organization is working on it, it's the sound quality specifically which drags the Senate down a star for me. I found it hard to make out the dialog for a classic movie to which I already knew most of the words. In that case, it was fine. But my companion found themselves confused about the plot as the dialog was compromised. That said, I'm all about going back and watching as many subtitled foreign films as I can. Plus, I might just rearrange my schedule so that I can attend the next silent film played with live organ accompaniment. I fully expect that to be a five star experience. And as the Senate gets more popular, surely the improvements to the screen, projector, and sound will be close behind.

What fun! Secure parking, updated interior and great refreshments. This venue was a great…read moreexperience to watch a show

The Fox Theatre Detroit is a true gem of the city. It is a wonderful place to take in a concert,…read moreplay, comedy show, etc. R&B Artist Jill Scott did a two-night engagement on her recent To Whom This May Concern Tour. The concert was fabulous, our floor seats were perfect. Phone-Free Experience - No Photography, Video or Audio Recording. We weren't allowed to have our phones during the concert. We had to have them locked up in the pouches provided for the duration. A completely unplugged LIVE music experience! Snacks were available for purchase - Hot dogs, pizza slices, popcorn and pop. The service from staff was fine from the security check, the food services and ushers.

I haven't been to Fox Theatre in quite a while. As this was a phone-free experience which adds an…read moreextra step to entry, arrived as the doors opened. Line moved well and it was organized. Once phone was secured you received a printout with seat location. I purchased merchandise(t-shirts and a hat) as there was hardly anyone in line. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Since unable to eat before the show grabbed a slice of Little Caesars pepperoni pizza, a popcorn and a bottle of water. Of course it's marked up! Venue is cashless. Ushered to my seat and it's such a beautiful venue I spent time marveling at the theatre and architecture. There's really not a bad seat in the house. Only issue is in the main floor people stand up which blocks the view of those sitting. Some aren't physically able to stand for long periods of time and I think that contributed to me not going there. The acoustics are great, but this was a live band there was a sound issue with the opening act and again near the end of the show. You couldn't make out the words for the opening act and then everything went out during the main set. Artist Jill Scott thanked us for our patience and kept the show going. All in all it was nice not to see people recording and taking pictures. I'm sure that helps the artist stay focused and it showed we can live without our phone's! I enjoyed the concert but next time will sit in the Mezzanine to have a full view of the stage.
