Posted on March 31 2001 by Mickey

    “Pay phones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by”n    “A Year Without Jimmy Buffett”. It sounds like it should be a Rankin/Bass holiday special. But it appears that, yes, we’re actually not going to see … Continue reading →

Posted on March 27 2001 by Mickey

    1999 was a pretty good year for theater in Detroit. Along with the usual and inexorable return of Cats and Les Miz, we were treated to the local premieres of at least three award-winning Broadway productions. One of … Continue reading →
