Broadway In Detroit Launches New Website & Ticketing System

Katerina Mccrimmon 1 Web

<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB"><strong>DETROIT</strong> – Get ready for it, Detroit, cause it’s a ‘comer.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB"><em>Funny Girl</em>, the hit Broadway musical, has landed in Motor City and it’s the hilarious, brilliant and stunningly gorgeous production that has made the almost 60-year wait for its return worth every second.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB">The last time <em>Funny Girl</em> played in Detroit was in 1966 for the first national tour. After seeing this show, it’s easy to see why: You need just the right lead to play Fanny Brice.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB">Not only does she have to be, well, funny, but the songs are tough. They’re iconic for a reason. If you can’t get the crowd cheering by the end of “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” then you’re going to have a hard time keeping the audience engaged for the second act.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB">Stepping up to the crimson plate is relative newcomer Katerina McCrimmon. With one of the strongest voices on tour right now and with her fearless attitude, McCrimmon puts every ounce of her on the stage: singing, dancing and making the over 2,000 patrons inside the Fisher Theatre laugh for almost three hours. McCrimmon is a star with the pipes to back her up. From character-driven songs like “His Love Makes Me Beautiful” to her softer side in “People,” McCrimmon navigates Fanny’s humanity effortlessly, toning down the zaniness in moments of realness. Lorne Michaels: if you’re ever looking for your next SNL cast member, she’s right here.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB">Melissa Manchester, as Fanny’s mom, is the show’s other star with her loving, yet caring presence. The Grammy Award-winner, with a career spanning decades of hits, shows off her comedy chops with her perfect timing, while sharing a touching chemistry with McCrimmon. Stephen Mark Lukas is devilishly handsome as Nick Arnstein, winning over characters on stage, as well as the audience, with his booming voice and charisma. And worth the price of admission alone is Izaiah Montaque Harris’ showstopping tap numbers.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB">Isobel Lennart’s book, with updates from Harvey Fierstein, stands the test of time with every joke still landing today. Jule Styne’s music, accompanied by Bob Merrill’s lyrics, are as beautiful as ever with a large 16-person orchestra in the pit, unusual in today’s touring standards.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB"><em>Funny Girl</em> is not all about the comedy. There are real issues present: from Fanny judged among beauty standards (still prevalent today), to family dynamics, to romance and finances, and the perils of gambling (all also very prevalent today). The true power of the show comes in these moments when the audience is along the ride where the laughter is over, but the drama is heightened. That’s true storytelling, that is real theater.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB"><em>Funny Girl</em> is a rousing and poignant jubilee, even 60 years after its debut on Broadway. From its vibrant set pieces, to its moving numbers and a standout cast, it’s a story worth revisiting today, and this is the cast and production to tell the story of Fanny Brice.</p>
<p class="sc-bczRLJ dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 hxNyjp itaLjB"><em>Funny Girl</em> is now playing through October 8, 2023 at the Fisher Theatre.

Funny Girl Review

Leanne Morgan Show Card

<p><strong>Leanne Morgan</strong> has taken the world by storm and her national headlining tour is, “<strong>Just Getting Started</strong>!”   Following the breakout ratings success of her critically acclaimed Netflix special, <strong><em>I’m Every Woman</em></strong>, Morgan has <strong>sold out over 100 theater and arena shows</strong> across the United States – with often second, third, fourth and fifth shows added in major markets.  In an effort for more of her fans to have the chance to experience her hit show, Morgan is extending her theatre and arena tour into 2024 by <strong>adding 27 shows in new markets</strong> across the United States including a stop at the Fisher Theatre on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 6 at 10:00 a.m. and will be available online at BroadwayInDetroit.com and in person at the Fisher Theatre box office starting at noon.</p>
<p><em> “At the pace these new shows are being added, I’m going to run out of spray tanner by January!” </em>exclaims Morgan.<em>   “I named my second tour “Just Getting Started” because I’m a 58-year-old mother and grandmother that’s having the time of my life!  This is a dream come true! I truly feel like I am in the prime of my life. I’ve had the honor to perform this new hour to 100 shows across this great country performing in front of both new and returning fans who feel like my best friends. All of this has truly blossomed into such a precious and supportive community!  I’ll continue sharing more stories of my real life, my family and my experiences and I hope people will still come away from this new hour saying, ‘this is my life- is Leanne spying on me??’”</em></p>
<p>Much of the fanfare can be attributed to an act that resonates with men and women of all ages from all walks of life around world.  A respite for those exhausted by an entertainment landscape that often celebrates youth over substance, Morgan is a shining example that life is meaningful and vibrant at any age and with age comes wisdom and a wicked sense of humor.</p>
<p>Leanne Morgan, a veteran of the comedy community, is having a huge moment with the release of her first Netflix special, <em>Leanne Morgan: I’m Every Woman</em>, which premiered April 11, 2023, to amazing reviews and viewership.  Her special was in the Top 10 on Netflix and is one of the highest watched specials on the platform in 2023.  She is currently on her sold out theater and arena stand up tour called, Just Getting Started, and will next be seen on screen in the Amazon Prime feature, <em>You’re Cordially Invited</em>, starring alongside Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon, and directed/written by Nick Stoller.  Her first book, <em>What in the World?</em>, is set to be published by Random House/Convergent in September 2024. Variety named Leanne Morgan one of the Top 10 Comics to Watch for 2023 and she was named to the Forbes 50 over 50 list.  Her recent press appearances include on the Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, PBS NewsHour, Sherri, The Washington Post, People Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal.  When not on the road, Leanne cherishes spending time in Knoxville, Tennessee with her husband, three children, grandbaby, and two beagles.</p>
<p><strong><em>Leanne Morgan</em></strong> is coming to the Fisher Theatre Saturday, June 22, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets start at $46.25 (includes parking &amp; facility fee) and will go on sale at 10:00 a.m. Friday, October 6. Tickets can be purchased online at BroadwayInDetroit.com and in person at the Fisher Theatre box office starting at noon.</p>
