Theatre in Detroit and throughout Michigan!
There are great musicals at all levels. In Detroit, we have the third largest theater District in North America, behind only New York and Toronto. Below you will find links to many live theatres in Detroit and throughout Michigan. While the rest of this site is exclusively about musicals, the theatre companies listed here perform both musical and non-musical theatre. This list is growing and I am grateful to find out about any missing theatres. Please email me if you would like a theatre added or to submit any corrections. The geographic areas listed are arbitrary and may be divided up differently in the future.
Support local live theatre and have a great time!
