Preface: If I could rate this for the building and the architecture of the theatre alone I would give it 5 stars. Stunning Detroit history here. The play we saw was "Hairspray" and it sure was a lot of fun! The theater company seemed full of energy, even for a Tuesday evening. I haven't seen a ton of plays/theater/broadway but I've seen quite a few. I am always impressed with the lung power of its performers. One woman in this show really iced the cake and stood out from the rest. I will be excited to see more like it on the Fischer Theatre stage in the future. I am giving the Fischer Theater 3 stars because the staff were not the greatest on this particular night at least. FYI This is a proof of vaccine, mask mandatory event space. I respect that. Completely. We hadn't known masks were "mandatory" at first though... I'm sure it said somewhere on the booking site but I didn't buy the tix -> my date had and was forced into buying 3 tickets for the 2 of us. Respectively so, just saying. Anyways we somehow missed the memo. With our distance in seats from other patrons we had taken down our masks at some point during the first part of the show. Well dude came by with a "mask up" sign so we quickly put our masks back on and kept them on for the remainder of the show. No problem. What I did have a problem with was that a couple of the ushers (maybe the dude too?! I don't know) took a seat directly behind us. The theater had LOTS of open seating was probably less than 1/2 full (and if others had to buy 1 1/2 tickets too the show hopefully still did okay.) Anyways they COUGHED the whole time. It was gross and felt like a purposeful but petty attack because we made an intial mistake. I was uncomfortable the whole time and rather annoyed of how incredibly inpolite and rude that was. Luckily they weren't behind us the whole time and nothing came of it. Still it's a rouph covid world out there for everyone, petty bits of sickly aggression are really an unnecessary power trip to have on people who weren't resisting in any way. Shame on me for pulling my mask down for a few moments but SHAME on that usher for his incredulous couphing action. It only took the sign to correct our poor choice. His behavior was not okay.
