 Go Crazy On The Dance Floor! |
15606 Joy Road Detroit, MI 48228 United States +1 313 838 6699 http://www.boysonjoy.com |
Backstreet is considered one of top gay dance clubs in Detroit. A trendy warehouse style disco in Dearborn, it has been attracting crowds since the 70's when it was known as the'Escape' Disco. Although it is open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays the place gets plenty of people who come in and enjoy dancing to the loud electrifying music. What adds to the this fun-crazy atmosphere is the feeling of dancing against black walls, high ceilings and lights flickering across the metallic hues. There is place for those who want to sit and watch and for those who want to go out onto the dance floor. When in Detroit, a definite must-visit for the interested! Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Unequalled treasure of wretched excess |
2211 Woodward Avenue (Corporate Headquarters) 4th Floor Detroit, MI 48201 United States +1 313 596 3200 / +1 313 471 6611 (Box Office) http://www.olympiaentertainmen... |
The preservation of this theater is one of Detroit's proudest achievements. The 5,000 seat palace of the arts, arguably the most opulent in the nation when it opened in 1928, was designated a national landmark in 1989 after a $11 million refurbishment by new owner Mike Ilitch. The oldest, continually operating theater in the United States features a 10-storeyed marquee, a six-storeyed lobby with a two-ton chandelier and 300,000 glass jewels in its interior. The exotic presentation of lions, gold fixtures and jaw-dropping grandeur harkens back to the flamboyant era of movie houses. The Fox is now busy with concerts, family-oriented shows and a wide variety of other offerings. It's the anchor of the Theatre District and perhaps Detroit's greatest civic treasure. Check the website for events and shows. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Temple of grandeur |
500 Temple St Detroit, MI 48201 United States +1 313 832 7100 http://themasonic.com/ |
The largest Masonic Temple in the world, this ornate 14-story building opened in 1926. For decades its 5,000-seat, acoustically rich and intimate auditorium served as Detroit's choicest venue for concerts, opera and plays. Now that it has plenty of competition, the auditorium hosts only sporadic events. The impressive building has 1,037 rooms, including ten decorative period lodge rooms; a Scottish Rite Cathedral that seats 1,600 people and has rich ceiling carvings and colors; and a 17,500-square-foot drill hall with a floating floor laid atop felt cushions. It's a Detroit landmark. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic temple of dance |
350 Madison Ave Detroit, MI 48226 United States +1 313 963 2366 http://www.musichall.org/ |
Opened in 1928 as the Wilson Theatre, the Music Hall underwent a $6.5 million renovation in the mid-1990s. This historic venue is sometimes considered the dance capital of the midwestern United States. Though dance is the top attraction, the center's eclectic schedule includes musicals, opera, family shows and comedy acts, almost always national touring productions. It's ideally situated between the new stadiums and Greektown and, after decades of bravely going it all alone, now finds itself an integral part of a thriving theatre district. All of the 1,701 seats have great sight lines and wonderful acoustics. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Grand Performances |
318 West Fourth Street Detroit, MI 48067 United States +1 248 399 2980 http://www.royaloakmusictheatr... |
The Royal Oak Theatre's lobby was returned to its original design scheme, which boasts of elaborate stenciling, ornate trim and old-fashioned wall sconces. It has been host to a variety of performers from the fields of music, theatre and comedy acts. The theatre is also used for high-end corporate parties and doubles up as a nightclub. The only thing you won't see here is an actual musical theatre! Review © 2007, Wcities |
