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!

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.

I would like to THANK this company whole heartily for the unexpected service they provided to me…read more  I had some subwoofers that went bad, (Brand undisclosed) gently used and just outside of warranty and no use during Covid season. Long story short, Pro Audio & Lighting worked hand in hand with the manufacture to cover my situation. For a small drop off fee that went towards the repairs, their professionalism was top shelf. To my astonishment, I ended up with brand new speakers. I just wanted to say Thank You Very Much!!  Your customer service is very hard to find.

I will ALWAYS buy and/or rent my DJ supplies and equipment from PROAAL…read more Since they've moved locations, they have a ton more space and any time I'm looking for something, they find it for me right away. The store manager Tom is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He knows what he's talking about and can always point you in the right direction. The showroom up front features all of the sound equipment and there's a lighting room in back to show off all of the awesome fixtures they have. I was very happy with a recent rental of a subwoofer and mixer. The cost was reasonable and they reviewed the item checklist with me when I brought it back. If you can get out to 14 and Dequindre, do it. It's worth the trip.

Hektor was quick to respond to all of my emails, and offered music choice advice whenever I asked. Finalizing everything was a breeze!

They are an extremely talented group of musicians, and exceeded my expectations in every way!!

Arrive as early as possible to avoid missing your show!!! Slow security line!…read moreI recently saw the sound of music at the Fox Theatre. Of course the theater is beautiful, which is a huge plus! However, many of the attendees were extremely frustrated because although we arrived to the theater 40 minutes before show time, there was an extremely long line outside of the Fox Theatre with people waiting to get through security. People were filing into the theater and taking their seats for the first 20 minutes of the show due to this delay. A woman who I spoke to while waiting in line stated that she had the same issue with them the week prior. So my advice is to arrive to the theater as early as possible so when they open the doors, you are at the front of the security line and don't miss any of the show you paid good money for!

Disney's The Lion King North American Tour was a welcome production to the "D". This was take 2 in seeing this play and it did not disappoint. Last time I experienced this play was in Toledo.

The food was very tasty and we were able to meet and take pictures with three members of The Lion King production. There are elevators throughout the Opera House and plenty of parking nearby. 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!

Thinking about hiring the Simone Vitale band for your wedding or other special event?  I suggest…read moreyou DON'T under any circumstances -- here is our story.  In anticipation of a June 2018 wedding in Northern Michigan we signed an contract with Simone in the Fall of 2017 and wired him 50% of the total fee as a down payment.  As the wedding date approached, our wedding planner began to work with Simone on details such as lodging and meal requirements and he was engaged and responsive.  Then ONE WEEK before the wedding he said he was double booked for that particular date and would NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY at our wedding as contractually committed.  Simone agreed he had breached the contract and that he would return our deposit.  Now over three years later he has paid only a fraction of the amount owed despite active contact from us and an apparently busy performance schedule.  Note -- in recognition of Covid we did not pursue payment during that time.  In summary do NOT hire as Simone is UNRELIABLE, UNTRUSTWORTHY AND HAS ZERO INTEGRITY.

Simone was extremely flexible during coronavirus and gave us exactly what we wanted. The lead singer Darian is absolutely incredible as well as the piano and of course Simone himself on the guitar.

Simone is also always available to discuss event details over the phone with extremely quick responses. It's been an absolute pleasure working with the Simone Vitale band!
