Back by popular demand, Mitch Albom’s original plays Ernie and Hockey – The Musical! will return to City Theatre inside Hockeytown Cafe. Ernie, about the legendary Detroit Tigers announcer, will return for its seventh year beginning Thursday, June 8 through Sunday, June 25. Hockey – The Musical!, which premiered last summer, will play Thursday, July 13 through Sunday, August 6, before traveling to Traverse City, Grand Rapids, and East Lansing.
“We are thrilled to be bringing back “Ernie” and “Hockey – The Musical!” to our favorite “home” – the City Theatre,” said Mitch Albom. “Audiences have been amazingly responsive to “Ernie” for the last six years, and embraced “Hockey” beyond our expectations last summer. Traversing the warm, moving story of Ernie Harwell and the bawdy, crazy, foot-tapping world of ‘Hockey” represents our best efforts at a broad spectrum of theatrical entertainment. We look forward to welcoming new audiences and familiar “second-time-around” faces this summer.”
