he Ringwald and Olympia Entertainment are thrilled to bring the hilariously bloody “Evil Dead: The Musical” to Detroit for its third annual engagement. In honor of its Detroit world premiere in October 1981, it will perform every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night in October at 8 p.m.

Based on Sam Raimi’s 80’s cult classic films, the musical unearths the old familiar story: Boy and friends spend weekend at cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning with several uproarious numbers.

1 9 2 0 - n ow 1920s & 30s In the early twenties, Detroit was a boom town. The automotive industry was making Detroit a wealthy community and desirable place to live. The Fox Theatre, built by William Fox, owner of Fox Film Corporation (today known as 20th Century Fox), and designed by C. Howard Crane, opened just one year before the stock market crashed in 1929.

1940s Downtown Detroit was still bustling, but World War II was everyone’s focus. News reels could be seen at the Fox Theatre until the mid 50s, before the advent of television. War movies were in vogue, and big bands were swinging at the Fox Theatre including: Cab Callaway, Kay Kyser, Benny Goodman, and the Dorsy Brothers.

1950s Wide screen films premiered at Detroit’s Fox Theatre in the 1950s. All major films, including Cinemascope-type and grandiose productions such as The Robe, Bridge on the River Kwai, Ben Hur and The King and I played the Fox. Comedy superstars like Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin entertained up to 37,000 fans in just one day performing seven shows to standing-room-only crowds. Legendary performers, including Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, also played the Fox Theatre.

1960s In the mid-60s, Motown emerged along with the Motortown Revue, a popular concert series that played at the Fox Theatre. The Revue was an opportunity to showcase the majority of Motown’s artist roster featuring; Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Martha and The Vandellas and The Supremes.

1970s Many businesses and citizens moved into the suburbs during this time; but Kung Fu films and horror movies were thriving at the Fox Theatre.

1980s In 1987, Mike and Marian Ilitch restored the Fox Theatre to it’s orginal splendor. The restorations took 18 months. The grand reopening, held November 19, 1988, featured the showing of Curtain’s Up. The Fox Theatre was again touted as the gem of the entertainment world and feverishly hosted a potpourri of events.

1990s The Fox Theatre reigned as one of the top-grossing theatres of its size in the world. In the early 90s several movie classics returned to the big screen, including The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Spartacus, and Lawrence of Arabia. Concert acts like Bruce Springsteen and Sheryl Crow rocked audiences while family entertainment thrived with shows like The Radio City Christmas Spectacular and Sesame Street Live.

2000s Listed on the National Historic Register, the Fox Theatre continues to be ranked as one of the top grossing theatres of its size. It also serves as Detroit’s crown jewel among the resurging Foxtown entertainment district of performing arts and sporting venues, bars and restaurants. An extensive array of concerts, comedians, Broadway and family programming continue to delight audiences; including Kid Rock & The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Nicki Minaj, B.B. King, Janet Jackson, Sting, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey, Tyler Perry’s Madea, Dreamgirls, Fiddler on the Roof and Donny & Marie.

MAYBE QUESTIONING THE NORM SHOULD BE THE NEW NORM. Every time a bar gets raised, a record gets broken, or a new star shines, it’s because somebody was curious. Wondering how high they could reach. How much they could do. As a proud supporter of the Fox Theater Series, we applaud that. Questioning everything makes anything possible.
