A complete performance schedule for From Broadway To Obscurity and Detroit Public Theatre season schedule follow this release.

From Broadway To Obscurity
Dreams collide in this hilariously revealing confessional from Michigan's own Broadway Jersey Boy. With well-known songs, dead-on celebrity impressions, and a heart-warming narrative, Eric Gutman's autobiographical one-man musical journey From Broadway To Obscurity intimately details the rocky road to "making it": from sweating bullets auditioning face to face with Frankie Valli himself, to rollicking backstage secrets, to his eventual life-altering change of heart. And when getting what he wants isn't all it's cracked up to be, Eric's internal compass points him back to the values of his community-faith, family, and tradition.

The complete performance schedule for From Broadway To Obscurity is as follows:

All performances take place at The Robert A. and Maggie Allesee Rehearsal Hall inside the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center, 3711 Woodward Avenue, Detroit MI 48201. Tickets (35-$100) are available now online at www.detroitpublictheatre.org, by phone at (313) 567-5111 or in person at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra box office.
