February 11 at 7pm
Michigan Theater · Old Fourth Ward
Stephen Sondheim's beloved musical brings aging Ziegfeld dames back to the stage for one more glittering look at their glory days. Imelda Staunton, Tracy Bennett, and Janie Dee lead this highly anticipated revival at the magnificent Michigan Theatre.
March 19 at 7pm
The State Theatre · Burns Park
Step into a neon-soaked fever dream of 1980s Tokyo, where two musicians are manufactured into pop idols by a shady mogul. This cult Japanese rock musical is pure visual chaos: think Rocky Horror by way of MTV Japan, complete with synth-pop bangers and satirical bite about the price of fame.
April 18 at 6pm
Hill Auditorium · Burns Park
Audra McDonald brings her "stupendously affecting" voice back to Hill Auditorium for a night of Broadway standards, jazz, and surprises. Six Tony Awards, two Grammys, and one magnetic stage presence: this is vocal powerhouse territory.
April 24 at 7:30pm
Hill Auditorium · Burns Park
Wynton Marsalis's "The Ever Fonky Lowdown" is a horn-fueled jazz orchestra spectacle that roasts modern America with big band power, narration by Wendell Pierce, and dancers cutting through the noise of politics, greed, and deception.
Power Center for the Performing Arts · Burns Park
Taylor Mac's theatrical tribute to judy's drag mother reimagines the holidays through a queer lens—think elaborate costumes, dark comedy, sing-alongs, and a baby Jesus burlesque that confronts capitalism while embracing pagan roots.
Theatre Nova · Ann Arbor
Consciousness bends in this world-premiere play where Borges conjures dream-sons and whistling birds narrate. Expect surreal acts, a cappella music set to Borges's poetry, and characters that blur human and fantastical.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
