Treat yourself to a night out downtown for dinner, a live show, and so much more! Broadway in Detroit has one show left in their current season (performing next month–The Wiz!). However, you can check out some of their other shows going on all year long at the Fisher Theater.
Oh, and their 2025-2026 season lineup was recently announced, and it looks amazing. If you’re shopping for a theater lover, a Season Subscription is definitely the way to go!
