Description:
Appearing on the Michigan Historical Register and the National Register, the Masonic is one of the largest and finest theatrical houses in the country. It has a seating capacity of 4,404, and the ornate theatre and building were designed by architect George D. Mason and Company and master sculptor Corrado Parducci.
Since its opening in 1926 by the Masonic fraternity, the Masonic Temple Theatre has hosted virtually all forms of live entertainment, including plays, musicals, variety shows, classical music and opera, rock-n-roll and dance. The theatre hosts major headliners in 125 to 175 performances each year.
A sampling of the stars who have appeared at the Masonic includes Yul Brenner in The King and I, Lauren Bacall in Woman of the Year, BB King and Bette Midler. Evita began its first national tour at the Masonic, and Mikhail Baryshnikov danced here in his premiere with the American Ballet Theater and the Metropolitan Opera.
