'Wicked: For Good' | The BSB Podcast

2025/11/30

Not even the Wizard can lie about the impact that Wicked has had, not just on the theater world, but on pop culture altogether. While the Broadway show has always been a powerhouse, something incredible happened when part 1 arrived in theaters last year. The entire world was taken by storm, with the world of Oz becoming a household topic of conversation once again. With a story so dynamic, John M. Chu and the creatives at Universal decided that Wicked couldn't be captured in one part, ultimately

'Mark Twain Tonight!' | The BSB Podcast

2025/11/23

For one night only, Mark Twain stepped onto the stage of The Fisher Theatre and regaled audiences with stories about his life and the state of the country, in what might be the most interesting piece of theater I have seen. While it may be Richard Thomas of The Waltons fame playing a character in this touring production of Mark Twain Tonight!, it feels like Twain himself has been resurrected and brought to Detroit, sharing a unique experience with all those in attendance. With Mark Twain Tonight

Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned romantic comedy? As someone who grew up on the classics like 10 Things I Hate About You, Pretty Woman, and How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days, there's never a wrong time to flick on a rom-com and fall in love with love once again. There's something magical about a story like that, even when it's cheesy, that fills my heart and makes my soul sing. The creatives at the Players Guild of Dearborn want to capture those warm, fuzzy feelings with their latest musical, She

What would music sound like if not for quite a few musical icons that completely changed the game? It seems like every decade or so, someone rises in the world of music, shaping what music sounds like and leaving their mark not just on the industry but on the world. Voices like Tina Turner, for example, who revolutionized music, rocketing her to the aptly titled Queen of Rock' n' Roll! With a voice unlike any other, Tina Turner was singular, using her music and platform to push the world in

We're entering into the most wonderful time of the year as the holiday season is finally upon us! Time to break out the lights, prepare the cookie dough, and crank up the Christmas music, as the holiday magic is awakening around us. Now, if you're anything like my family, Christmas time also means an overwhelming amount of Hallmark holiday movies on our television, each one cheesier than the last. It's in that vein that Tipping Point Theatre's latest show, A Very Northville Christmas, exists,

When was the last time you attended an orchestra performance? Better question is: when was the last time you attended an orchestra performance beachfront while the sun was setting on a gorgeous estate? There was something magical about seeing the Michigan Philharmonic play Broadway hits at Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, MI, as a way to close out the summer. The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House was the perfect place for an evening full of music, laughter, and gathering with friends

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the world would not be what it is without the work of William Shakespeare. The playwright not only wrote some of the most recognizable stage pieces, but also fundamentally changed how language was spoken. His words are important, which seems to be one of the threads that weaves its way through International Academy East High School's production of The Book of Will!In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, cast members Ishani Suresh, Sameer Pai, Carlos

What is it like stepping back into the world (and works) of Dr. Seuss, after growing up reading them? It's surely an interesting experience, as we're able to explore books such as Horton Hears a Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Cat in the Hat through the lens of a young adult. Does the work still hold the same magic that it once did? If you ask the cast of Tread the Board Theatre's production of Seussical the Musical, the magic never dulls! We spoke with two of the cast members, Jessie

Where would the world of theatre be without the work of one William Shakespeare? A playwright whose prolific work changed the world in so many incredible ways. The impact he had on the English language is nothing short of exceptional, so much so that his work is still studied in high schools and universities as an essential part of the curriculum. The Detroit Mercy Theatre Company at the University of Detroit Mercy is placing Shakespeare front and center, with a production of Twelfth Night as the

The musical Chicago is the longest-running show currently still playing on Broadway, having captivated audiences for almost three decades. Telling the perhaps exaggerated real story of women imprisoned for crimes they may or may not have committed, Chicago has stood the test of time. While the show is rather ambitious, Pontiac Theatre IV is up for the challenge and ready to kick off its season with this larger-than-life show! We recently spoke with the director of the musical, Tina Robinson, as well

It's about that time of year that we begin to reflect on what is most important in our lives. Something about the closing months of the calendar year makes people feel nostalgic for similar times and look towards those things that make us feel warm and fuzzy inside. For many, this is a time to gather with family and friends to celebrate another year around the sun together. Family and all its good and bad reside within Birmingham Village Players' upcoming production of Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers

If we choose to ignore history, we're doomed to repeat it. That's what has been ingrained in our heads from such a young age, and one of the most important reasons that history is taught in schools. The past serves as a reminder of the good and bad humans have gone through, and of what could happen if we allow similar patterns to recur. It's stories such as that of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living during WWII, that are important to understanding the atrocities people have gone through, but

Back to the Future is celebrating a monumental occasion with its 40-year anniversary is upon us. For four decades (since the original film premiered in theaters), this Robert Zemeckis trilogy has entertained audiences with the perfect blend of comedy and science fiction. With quite the cult following, it was only a matter of time before a new adaptation or reboot made its way to the public, bringing this story to a new generation. It was out of this nostalgia that the Broadway hit, Back To The

It's not every day that my passion for theater and my love of all things nerdy collide, but in those rare moments that they do, it's something special. When I began my journey covering Broadway for The Cosmic Circus, I started marrying the two, which was difficult when there weren't many shows that met at that junction. However, what began with reviews of Wicked and Beetlejuice has grown into an almost circular intersection between theater and geekdom, bringing us to perhaps the nerdiest show in the

There's nothing quite like re-experiencing a film from your childhood in an entirely different way, pushing us to engage with the material through a different lens. As someone who has been a hardcore fan of Disney's animated film Beauty and the Beast, getting the chance to witness this tale as old as time on stage at The Fisher Theatre for the first time ever was nothing short of magical.
