I got to play Seymour in this show years ago and they put my production to shame! Not a detail was missed. It was beautifully done with superb singers, actors, and dancers. The theatre was beautiful too and everyone was nice to us. It was easy to park too in an adjoining parking garage.

I didn't purchase a ticket ahead of time, but thought that half an hour would be good since it's Duluth... well, I was wrong. They were sold out, which kinda bites. Huge props to this company and all for having sold out improv shows, but man did it suck to be turned away. Hope attend someday before I move.

This place promotes unhealthy body image with photos of girls in sexualized attire and poses all over the walls. In my daughter's class of five and six year olds, they mostly played games like tag and hardly learned any positive movement techniques. They did stretching without learning how to listen to their own bodies. Not to mention they charged me for a t-shirt we didn't request (without telling me), and charged me 4 tickets for a recital we didn't attend. There's also never anyone at the front desk to talk to. Do NOT attend this place unless you want your kid learning how to objectify themself and becoming horribly insecure.

She just tried to charge my card $533, last month it was $353. I had to contact a lawyer over this and will be taking the appropriate steps. Classes are $50 a month, so this does not add up. She is trying to make me pay tuition from when we had the statewide shut down. They want to cite their contract, but My lawyer told me madill is in breach of their contract due to in person classes being cancelled. I tried to work out the one month and costume fee but she was unwilling to work with me. This is ridiculous. I've also contacted the BBB. Stop scamming families.

The ladies pretty much attacked her for not having a ticket for the baby. Yelling at her in front of everyone " you need a ticket for that baby". My husband went and purchased said ticket so that poor mom could take her littles in to sit down. I find it ridiculous that a baby who will not be in a seat but on mom's lap had to pay eleven dollars for a ticket. Be better Reif!

I've never waited a full six years between experiencing what a business has to offer and writing a…read morereview before but Magic Smelt Puppet Troupe breaks the mold in more ways than one. I'm not sure what else they do besides putting on the Run, Smelt, Run! parade on the shore of Lake Superior in May but that's more than enough. I've been meaning to go back but it's a ways off from Detroit and finances are always a challenge so who knows if that will happen especially since ... gasp! This year might have been the final smelt parade. Jim Ouray, the founder of the smelt parade is stepping down as head honcho, citing the headaches of securing funding and doing all the clerical work which he's pretty tired of at his age. Hell, it sounds exhausting to me and I'm a good deal younger than him. He still wants to do the fun stuff, like play King Neptune, but unless someone steps up and takes the reins, which nobody has yet, it's curtains for the smelt parade. As grandpa would say "Well, that's too damn bad!" The smelt parade is a riot! It's kind of a northern bastardization of Mardi Gras. We have something similar in Detroit called the Marche du Nain Rouge. Ours is bigger and we wear red and dress like demons sometimes while in Duluth they wear silver and usually rock some sort of smelt themed costume. Theirs is more fun and soulful and flipped out if you ask me though. There's all manner of wacky smelt themed costumes- Smelt Lumberjack, Smelt Pope, Smeltbot 3000, Smelt Mayor and the fabulous Smelt Queen among dozens of others. There's a second line jazz band playing as the merrymakers dance down the Duluth boardwalk. There's a smelt fry and more music at the parade's conclusion at the Zeitgeist Theater. There's stilt walkers and a whole Rite of Spring type ceremony. Bye bye winter, let's party! Of course they're farther north than the Motor City so it's in May and not March. That's also the height of smelting time here - the reason for the season. Sorry it took me so long to write this. Hell, I had to create the listing, too. None of the normies here on Yelp are messing with this bizarre wonderfulness. Lots of details have slipped through my memory banks in the over half a decade that's elapsed, even if I have lots of photos and even created a travel comic about my pilgrimage here. Suffice it say I give the weirdos at Magic Smelt Puppet Troupe the highest possible recommendation and hope the Smelt Parade somehow endures.
