Sunday, May 17, 2026. Broadway In Detroit - #BroadwayInDetroit - The #FisherTheatre and more! and…read moremore! Detroit. #hamilton I have been planning this moment since I'd been informed that Hamilton was coming back in March -- and I don't think I fully understood the depths of my devotion to making it happen until I saw my mother's face. She had surgery just days before. She couldn't clap too hard. None of that stopped her from being completely, uncontainable, childlike giddy. It is not often that adult children get to see their parents that way -- eyes dancing, joy uncontained. I got to see it Sunday night. The cast -- predominantly Black and brilliant. Culturally, that matters deeply to me and my former Black Panther mother. I want to be clear, however: everyone on that stage gave everything. The dancers. The vocals. The lighting. The set. Collective excellence. That's what live performance does -- it doesn't let you just watch. It makes you witness. And then there's the #FisherBuilding itself. I love theatres. I see grand architecture as art. Every time I enter a building -- big or small -- I stop at the door and take it all in. The Fisher is what I imagine true opulence looks like: 40 kinds of marble, crystal and bronze, green terra cotta tiles, light that gives the whole space a warm, illuminated gold effect -- earning its name as "Detroit's largest art object." The staff moved with the same coordinated energy as the performers. Dennis (Head Usher and my old Detroit Opera House colleague) greeted me with a big hug and put Mommie in her wheelchair with care, walking her straight to dashing security -- who told her she looked like royalty -- an African Queen. Raul was assigned to her for the entire night and showed up like family. The bartenders argued -- warmly, playfully -- over who got to take care of her. And I cannot even discuss all of the examples of kindness from the patrons to me and each other, because this post will be longer than it already is. The usher at the door walked me through my QR code, and managed that entire line with authority and warmth. I told my sisters -- watching our mother's face glow that night, opened something in me I cannot name. I am addicted now. Addicted to chasing that look on their faces. For as long as I have breath and means, I will keep finding ways to put you all in rooms that make your eyes dance. Some nights just settle into you differently. This is one of them. Thank you, Fisher Theatre for giving me one of those nights.

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.

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.

I can hands down say that the Detroit Opera House was a 100 percent better experience. The Opera House is beautiful and has better seating. There is not a bad seat in the house. The experience in seating on the main floor along the aisle was a wonderful treat. Iykyk Bravo Detroit Opera House! Take a bow! The Detroit Opera House Parking Center is directly across the street on the corner. Please note that the Detroit Opera House does have a required bag check.

The team working was efficient with helping to find seats, moving the lines for drinks, etc. There is plenty of parking on site and within walking distance. my only suggestion is that in the ladies bathroom, a sign or something that shows more stalls or because nobody noticed that there was a whole row in the back that lead to linger wait when there didn't need to be a wait...

The cast was great, but these two shined a little bit brighter. It is such an intimate setting. Only 180 comfortable seats. The fellow patrons were kind and friendly. We felt like we were watching with old friends. One caution note: Be careful not to step on the stage. My companion stumbled briefly over a prop and placed one foot on the stage. An usher, who could have easily been mistaken for Nurse Ratchit, barked, "Don't ever step on the stage. EVER!" Perhaps a gentle arm assist might have been the better approach.

We have seen multiple performance here over the years. The most recent being Emma's Wedding. All of the plays and performances are fresh and designed to make people feel good, laugh and maybe walk away with a few thoughts about the experience. If you have not experienced a performance at Purple Rose, you should definitely add it to your list of things to experience. Friendly and welcoming staff and amazing and talented performers.

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.

I called the theater to purchase tickets for several of the shows but I got their voice mail so I left a message. They called me back but my phone was in another room, and I missed their call. I called them right back and someone picked up the phone and literally slammed the phone down in my ear. I gave this person the benefit of the doubt that maybe we were just disconnected, so I called back again and she slammed the phone down in my ear again! All the person had to do was tell me they were busy and they would call me back rather than showing the worst side of themself by behaving in this rude and unprofessional manner. I've been a patron of Tipping Point Theater for many years and I am appalled that they actually have a such a rude, unprofessional person working at their theater!

It honestly feels like you stepped back in time. The architecture alone is worth it, and seeing a show there just adds to the whole experience. Such a cool, old-school Detroit vibe. That said, getting in was a little chaotic. The lines felt kind of all over the place and not super clear where you were supposed to go, which added some stress before the show. Once inside though, everything ran smoothly and the energy was great. Seats are definitely tight, so just be prepared to get a little cozy with your neighbors lol.

Someone else mentioned in their review that the temperature was perfect in this theater, and I agree - I tend to get hot or cold easily, and it was about 70 degrees out in Sept. yesterday and nice inside as well. I read online that the theater holds 300, with a divider, or 600 at capacity, like last night - I think every seat was taken. My only complaint is I couldn't find a bathroom - I could be wrong on this though (aka maybe I just didn't see it). I used to work at the JCC (now called the J, I believe) when I was in college, as a swim instructor, so if there was no bathroom nearby then you'd have to walk a bit down another hallway off the lobby to get to the closest bathroom.
