DETROIT, MI, June 8, 2017 -- Love Never Dies will open its North American Tour at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre on October 17 with performances through October 29.  Tickets for Love Never Dies start at $39 and will go on sale on Sunday, June 11 at all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-982-2787 and online at www.broadwayindetroit.com or www.ticketmaster.com.   Starting Monday, June 12, tickets will also be available for purchase at The Fisher Theatre Box Office.

The new touring production will reflect an extensive re-working of the material by an Australian creative team for the original Australian premiere in 2011. Described by Chris Boyd in The Australian as “The best thing Lloyd Webber has written in the quarter century since The Phantom of the Opera”

Directed by Simon Phillips (Priscilla Queen of the Desert The Musical) with new set and costume designs by Gabriela Tylesova, choreography by 2011 Astaire Awards winner Graeme Murphy, lighting design by Nick Schlieper and sound design by Mick Potter, the show is one of the few instances of a major West End musical being given a complete makeover for subsequent productions.

Lloyd Webber said he knew about five minutes into seeing its first run-through that he and the new production team had achieved something special. “I have the great joy of being able to say that I think this production is probably the finest one I could ever, ever hope for.

The year is 1907.  It is 10 years after his disappearance from the Paris Opera House and the Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak shows of Coney Island. In this new, electrically charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar, but he has never stopped yearning for his one true love and musical protégée, Christine Daaé.

Now one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine accepts an invitation to travel from Paris to New York to perform at a renowned opera house. Christine's marriage to Raoul is suffering at the hands of his drinking and gambling and they desperately need the financial rewards that America can give them.

In a final bid to win back Christine’s love, the Phantom lures her, Raoul, and their young son Gustave, from Manhattan to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island - not knowing what is in store for them.

Since its premiere in 2010, Love Never Dies has enjoyed productions worldwide in London, Australia, Denmark, Japan and Germany, as well as multiple recordings including a concept album and a London cast recording. A DVD release of the Australian production has delighted fans globally, and now the North American tour brings the musical to the US for the first time.

Father's Day Gift Guide 2017

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have had a wonderful week so far and are looking forward to some fun happenings this weekend! Tomorrow I am going to do yoga with goats then we will be going to see my niece perform at her dance recital! It will be a fun day for us for sure.

I am having a hard time believing that Father's Day is already a week from this coming Sunday! Where has this year gone? I wanted to share with you all a few fun ideas for gifts you could give to dad to show him you are thinking of him.

Father's Day Gift Guide

• Bush Craft 101

Does your dad love all things hunting, fishing, or nature in general? Then this book is a great little gift to give him.  It has several step-by-step guides on different wilderness survival skills any person would find useful while out in the wild.  

• Beer Making Kit

Perfect for the dad that likes beer or ale and wants to make some of their own.  This little kit comes with everything needed to brew your own beer and is a great way for dad to try something new. 

• Gentleman's Personalized Scorecard Holder

Is your dad a big golfer? Then why not get him something that he will get a lot of use out of that also looks really professional.  For the golfing enthusiast or anyone who knows the difference between a birdie and a bogey. This sleek black or brown leather case features a clip to securely hold your tally cards, as well as a silver, gold or blind foil debossed monogram so everyone knows exactly who that fairway phenom is.

• Plan a fun activity with Dad

Not sure what do get your dad? Then why not plan something fun to do with him? One of the best gifts to give someone you love is your time.  Some fun ideas to do with Dad could include: Putt Putt Golfing, Cooking Classes, Beer Tasting/Wine Tasting or a painting class.  There are always fun ideas of things you can do with dad.  

• Car Detailing 

This gift may seem a bit silly, but there is nothing more satisfying than a deeply cleaned car and you can give your dad the gift of a clean car and save him the trouble of having to clean his car himself. The best part is Groupon has a ton of Groupons available for this exact type of service.  

Those are some fun ideas of things you can get for Dad this Father's Day! Hopefully some of these ideas inspired you to get something fun for dad.

Question of the Day: What are you doing to celebrate dad this year? 

I'd love to hear from you!

Currently: June 2017

Happy Thursday friends! I hope your week has been going well so far and you are looking forward to some fun plans this weekend! Today I am doing another fun round of "currently".  I came across this idea on Becca Door's Blog - you should check her out! 

ANTICIPATING:  Two weddings and a baby shower! We have two weddings and a baby shower this month and I am super excited.  I love celebrating with people as they begin new journeys in their lives.  Plus, the food is almost always wonderful at weddings and baby showers.  

CLEANING: I desperately need to clean out my closet and get rid of some clothing/shoes/accessories.  Maybe I will make time for that this weekend? Maybe.

DRINKING: Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks almost every day.  I love the iced version and it is the perfect pick me up every morning when I've had a rough start to my day (because I am not a morning person at all)

FEELING: A little overwhelmed.  We have officially been living in our house for one year (OMG how did that happen?) and there is still so much we want to get done with the house and we have little to no time to do it.

WATCHING:  From a TV perspective, I've been watching Pretty Little Liars and Downward Dog.  Downward Dog is a new show and I wasn't sure how much I'd like it, but the humor is dry and right up my alley.  And this is the final season of Pretty Little Liars, so I have been watching those regularly so I don't miss anything.  

PLAYING: Last week I started playing Fallout 4 with my friend, Nick.  We ended up putting several hours into the game over the past two weekends and I really have been enjoying the game.  

READING: If you have been following along with the blog, you should have seen my #HPReadathon2017 posts!  Starting May 15th, I have been working my way through the Harry Potter books and some of the companion books.  I also have been trying to read How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr.  

RECOVERING: My body hurts from working out so I have been trying to help my body recover quickly after a good booty kicking.  

TRYING: To cook more at home than eating out.  Justin and I really need to get into the routine of cooking meals at home so I've been working to have a meal planned for every day each week.  Some weeks we do really well and others we just fall flat on our faces.  Thankfully this week has been a good week so far for meals.  

WEARING: It is that time of year where we go from warm to cold then back to warm so I've been wearing a lot of layers lately.  This usually consists of a shirt with a blazer or cardigan - just depends on how casual I am feeling that day.    

Question of the Day: What do you have going on "currently"?

I'd love to hear from you!
