Jurassic Park the musical still has tickets available at the time of writing this review, so do yourself a favor and grab them! Fair warning, this show is not for children. Every aspect, every detail of this show was so well thought out and phenomenal with all of the original songs. I love how they gave the original Jurassic Park characters even more character depth. Anytime I'm in Detroit, I will check what shows are playing at this theatre. Great job Planet Ant, Clever girl!

They have a few interesting movie line ups in the future. It's a very quaint, cozy atmosphere and I love the concept with small screening engagements. They have a full bar and even make a special crafted cocktail to pair with the movie! How cool is that? There is a small lounge area off the main room to enjoy a beverage or two. They do have open hours for just cocktails. I wanted to keep this place my little secret! SHhhhh.....

The movie starts at 7, the movie is displayed in the bar area so make sure to grab a table or chair - kinda limited. They also give popcorn but if you buy some it's $7, part of my reason for knocking off one star. Also, I bought two tickets online it was $18, I found out after I got there it's cheaper to buy them at the door. The inside looks fabulous it's very clean and a new spot. They staff was very friendly, and I think everyone could see the movie well. We had a fabulous time and I would love to return. (:

Parking is free and easy on the street, and both the staff and the patrons were genuinely friendly. I also appreciated the metal detector at the entrance for an added sense of security. The drink selection is great, with plenty of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Prices are very reasonable and service is quick. Rob behind the bar was especially kind. The acoustics are impressive for a smaller venue. There are plenty of spots to stand and adjust the volume to your comfort level. I don't typically wear earplugs, but given the size of the space and the quality of the sound, it's worth considering. Everything is GA, so you can get as close--or as far--as you'd like. Bathrooms are clean and conveniently located near the front door. Ticket prices are very fair. I wasn't able to find a way to skip the service fee with buying at the venue box office, so I ended up purchasing through their online system. Even with the fee, it's still cheaper than most concerts you'll see.

Louie, the resident bartender, is awesome and attentive. Took 1 star off because the women's restroom can REALLY use mirrors! AND they really need to service the toilets to flush adequately. Drink prices are reasonable, but parking is precarious, no parking lot, just street parking, and since it's near lots of residential, don't park on a residential street, or you will be found out and towed.

I kept tripping over a step they had to get to booths that were elevated. Full bar, good prices, a great place to see a band. The ladies restroom has 2 stalls, and they're crammed in there so tight that they had to put saloon swinging doors on the stalls. Very awkward to use. Parking is awful.

I especially like that they help us line up and get through the restrooms and back in our seats during the intermission. Everything was spotless and had a beautiful holiday vibe; lots of bars throughout so no wait in line, and even getting in and out of the surface lot only took about 10 minutes. We each had a lovely Moscow mule and the show was fantastic. We were in the "penthouse" as the volunteers call it, and even up there, we had a great view and beautiful sound. Also, the retail shops on the first floor were open, so you could do a little shopping before or after the show; I think we'll go even earlier next time to take it all in. A wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see another show here.

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.

I just found out last night that the Ypsi location closed and I'm still not over it The atmosphere was perfect--court-side lighting with wooden tables alongside the lanes made it easy to play, chill, and vibe all at once. Laid-back energy all night For an amateur, I was shook when I knocked over the last two pins to help lead my partner and me to a sweet victory. And in a one-on-one round... I won again I also love that the game allows women to throw from the second line while men throw from the first--such a fun and fair twist. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, and they definitely card at the door--so be prepared! I also love that they still allow outside food or delivery--such a game changer. Such a fun night, great vibes, and even better company
