A lready selling out more than 25 dates, Eric Church’s “The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour” will perform at Joe Louis Arena this fall with guests Justin Moore and Kip Moore. The tour has received a huge
response from fans and media. The Reading Eagle wrote, “It’s been said a transcendent concert can resemble a religious experience, but this took it to a new level… the 34-year-old frequently exploded from the mic stand, arms pounding his chest, screaming at the crowd to boost an energy level that pyrotechnics and explosions had already elevated… the energy roared.”
The Ringwald and Olympia Entertainment are thrilled to bring the hi-lariously bloody “Evil Dead: The Musical” to Detroit for its third annual engagement. In honor of its Detroit world premiere in October 1981, it
will perform every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night in October at 8 p.m.
Based on Sam Raimi’s 80’s cult classic films, the musical unearths the old familiar story: Boy and friends spend weekend at cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning with several uproarious numbers.

Central’s Politically Incorrect and for the last seven years on HBO’s Real Time, Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him twenty-one Emmy nominations. This combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, Religulous.

1920s & 30sIn the early twenties, Detroit was a boom town. The automotive industry was making Detroit a wealthy community and desirable place to live.
The Fox Theatre, built by William Fox, owner of Fox Film Corporation (today known as 20th Century Fox), and designed by C. Howard Crane, opened just one year before the stock market crashed in 1929.
1950s Wide screen films premiered at Detroit’s Fox Theatre in the 1950s. All major films, including Cinemascope-type and grandiose productions such as The Robe, Bridge on the River Kwai, Ben Hur and The King and I played the Fox.
Comedy superstars like Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin entertained up to 37,000 fans in just one day performing seven shows to standing-room-only crowds. Legendary performers, including Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, also played the Fox Theatre.
1940s Downtown Detroit was still bustling, but World War II was everyone’s focus. News reels could be seen at the Fox Theatre until the mid 50s, before the advent of television. War movies were in vogue, and big bands were swinging at the Fox Theatre including: Cab Callaway, Kay Kyser, Benny Goodman, and the Dorsy Brothers.

1960s In the mid-60s, Motown emerged along with the Motortown Revue, a popular concert series that played at the Fox Theatre. The Revue was an opportunity to showcase the majority of Motown’s artist roster featuring; Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Martha and The Vandellas and The Supremes.
1970s Many businesses and citizens moved into the suburbs during this time; but Kung Fu films and horror movies were thriving at the Fox Theatre.
2000sListed on the National Historic Register, the Fox Theatre continues to be ranked as one of the top grossing theatres of its size. It also serves as Detroit’s crown jewel among the resurging Foxtown entertainment district of performing arts and sporting venues, bars and restaurants.

King, Janet Jackson, Sting, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry’s Madea, Dreamgirls, Fiddler on the Roof and Donny & Marie.

Every time a bar gets raised,
a record gets broken, or a
new star shines, it’s because
somebody was curious.
Wondering how high they could
reach. How much they could do.
As a proud supporter of the Fox
Theater Series, we applaud that.
Questioning everything makes
anything possible.
MAYBE QUESTIONING THE NORM SHOULD BE THE NEW NORM.
