The 2016–17 Broadway In Detroit Series proudly presents five all-new Tony Award-winning hit Broadway

shows at the Fisher Theatre.

Beautiful—The Carole King Musical, at the Fisher Theatre in December–January,

tells the inspiring true story of Carole King’s remark-able rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwrit-ing team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her rela-tionship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to be-

coming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation. Featuring a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, including “I Feel The Earth Move,” “One Fine Day,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got A Friend” and the title song, Beautiful has a book by Tony Award-nominee and Academy Award-nominated writer Douglas McGrath, and direction by Marc Bruni, choreography by Josh Prince—and it took home two 2014 Tony Awards and a 2015 Grammy Award.

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder is at the Fisher Theatre in October 2017. Get-

ting away with murder can be so much fun… and there’s no better proof than this hilari-ous hit show that won the 2014 Tony Award for Best Musical. As one most gentleman-ly NPR critic put it,

“I’ve never laughed so hard at a Broadway musical!” Gentleman’s Guide tells the uproarious story of Monty Navarro, an heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by elimi-nating the eight pesky relatives who stand in his way… and be done in time for tea. The Hollywood Reporter raves, “Gentleman’s Guide restores our faith in musical comedy!”

Fun Home is at the Fisher Theatre Novem-ber–December 2016. Every once in a while a

Broadway musical comes along that surprises, moves and excites audi-ences in ways only a truly landmark musical can. The

“groundbreaking,” “uplifting” and “ex-quisite” new musi-cal Fun Home was the event of the

Broadway season, receiving raves from crit-ics and audiences alike, winning five 2015 Tony Awards including Best Musical—and

The 2016–17 Broadway In Detroit Series5 NEW TONY AWARD-WINNING HITS!

…and priority seating available at more great shows

making history along the way. Based on Ali-son Bechdel’s best-selling graphic memoir, Fun Home introduces us to Alison at three different ages as she explores and unravels the many mysteries of her childhood. A re-freshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes, “Fun Home is extraordinary, a rare beauty that pumps fresh air into Broadway” (New York Times).

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is at the Fisher Theatre in February–March 2017. Brilliantly

innovative, heartbreak-ing, and wickedly funny, Hedwig is the landmark American musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask that is “groundbreaking and undoubtedly ahead of its time” (Entertainment Weekly). This genre-bend-ing, fourth-wall-smashing musical sensation, with a pulsing score and electri-

fying performances, tells the story of one of the most unique characters to ever hit the stage. Directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) and winner of four 2014 Tony Awards including

Best Musical Revival, Hedwig and the An-gry Inch played to record-breaking sell-out crowds on Broadway and promises to take Detroit by storm with what Time magazine proclaims is “the most exciting rock score written for the theatre since, oh, ever!”

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, at the Fisher Theatre in May 2017, won five 2015 Tony Awards includ-

ing Best Play. Hailed as “One of the most fully immersive works ever to wallop Broad-way” by The New York Times, this “dazzling”

(Associated Press) new play by Simon Ste-phens was adapted from Mark Haddon’s best-selling novel and directed by Tony winner Marianne Elliott. Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls un-der suspicion for killing his neighbor’s dog, he sets out to identify the true culprit, which leads to an earth-shattering discovery and a journey that will change his life forever.

RICHARD RODGERS and OSCAR HAM-MERSTEIN II (Music and Lyrics). After long and highly distinguished careers with other col-laborators, Richard Rodgers (composer, 1902-79) and Oscar Hammerstein II (librettist/lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in the American mu-sical theatre. Prior to his work with Hammerstein, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on a series of musical comedies that epitomized the wit and sophistication of Broadway in its heyday. Among their greatest successes were Pal Joey, On Your Toes and Babes In Arms. Throughout the same era, Hammerstein brought new life to the operetta, culminating in the masterpiece, Show Boat (music by Jerome Kern). Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, was also the first of a new genre, the musical play, blending Rodgers’ musical comedy style with Hammer-stein’s innovations in operetta. Oklahoma! was followed by Carousel, State Fair (film ’45, ’62; Broadway ‘96), Allegro, South Pacific, The King and I, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream, Cinderella (tel-evision ’57, ’65, ’97; Broadway ‘13), Flower Drum

Song and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tonys, Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Pulitzers and Olivier Awards.

HOWARD LINDSAY and RUSSEL CROUSE (Book). The Lindsay and Crouse partnership stands today as the longest collaboration of any writers in theatrical history, lasting for 32 years. Howard Lindsay was born in 1889 and died in 1968. He became an actor at nineteen and went on to become a successful Broadway playwright and director. Russel Crouse was born in 1893 and died in 1966. After serving in the Navy, he worked on New York newspapers, gaining his first renown through a signed column in the Post. In 1932 he became head of the publicity department for the Theatre Guild and in 1933 wrote his first Broadway show, collaborating with Corey Ford on the musical comedy Hold Your Horses. From 1934 on, Crouse wrote only with Lindsay. Their hits include The Sound of Music (with a score by Rodgers & Hammerstein); Anything Goes and Red, Hot and Blue (with scores by Cole Porter); Call Me Madam (score by Irving Berlin); the long-running play Life With Father (which originally starred Lindsay); the Pulitzer Prize winning State of the Union; and The Great Sebastians, written for the Lunts. Their producing credits included The Hasty Heart, Detective Story and Arsenic and Old Lace.
