lol - I totally second Elphaba's emotion! I moved to New Jersey in 1997 (was born and raised in Michigan, but like Madonna - had to get the Hell out of the mitten and closer to NYC). I have been to all three theatres mentioned (Fox, Masonic Temple, and the Fisher). I will be damned if I can remember how good or bad the seating was, because at the time (many moons ago), I was just so happy to have ANY shows to see there, but I remember seeing Les Miz and a very very bad production of West Side Story. Blah! I even saw a fairly decent production of A Chorus Line at the small Birmingham Theater (isn't that place now defunct and a movie theater?)
Now, I am, fortunately, within 1 1/2 to 2 hours from NYC and can see things on Broadway, or the even closer Philadelphia. And if the Wicked company that you will see in Detroit is the same as the one that played here in Philly, my roommate said that it was excellent. (She praised the woman who played Glinda, in particular, and I believe that she liked Elphaba as well). I wish I had been able to go!
It is nice to see so many Michiganders here! Hello fellow Mitten people! lol
