Review: LINDSEY STIRLING’S DUALITY TOUR at Acrisure Amphitheater

by Brian Hilbrand · August 22, 2026

We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name. This concert came at the right time for me personally, as I had gotten some rough news earlier in the day, that was very unexpected, and had debated attending the s…

We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name. The show was eye-catching and inspiring, and one of my favorite things is the theatricality. She seamlessly integrates intricate choreography, breathtaking aerial a…

by Brian Hilbrand · August 16, 2026

Hank Williams, Jr.'s rescheduled tour stop this past Friday at the Acrisure Amphitheater was nothing short of impressive and worth the wait from the original date, which was moved due to wildfire smoke from Canada reducing the Air quality in Michigan, and making it not good to be outside for extend…

Review: ESCAPE TO MARGARETAVILLE at Cornwell’s Turkeyville

by Brian Hilbrand · July 29, 2026

Escape to Margaretaville has been one of my bucket list shows as long as I have known they made it a musical.   I was supposed to originally see it back in 2020, when it was part of a season ticket I had to the Broadway Grand Rapids season, but ultimately it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemi…

I was fortunate enough to see and work a show when Darius first reintroduced himself as a Country artist at a small acoustic concert.

Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at Avon Players

Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER at Avon Players

by Emily Schenk · June 2, 2026

A production of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is only as strong as its many moving parts, and this cast delivered them with delicious precision. The women of the show were far more than romantic interests orbiting Monty’s schemes—they were a dazzling constellation all their own. Hosan…

Review: HAMILTON at The Fisher Theatre

Review: HAMILTON at The Fisher Theatre

by Emily Schenk · May 5, 2026

Hamilton is the room where it happens—a history remix that’s not throwing away its shot at dazzling you with rhyme, rhythm, and revolution. Founding fathers trade powdered wigs for mic drops as ambition rises faster than the tempo, and duels come with both pistols and punchlines. This production…
