I'm about 32 years late on this, but I watched Flashdance on DVD for the first time the other day, and it was good - the music, especially.
So I'm excited to announce that Flashdance - The Musical will make its Detroit premiere next month at the Fisher Theatre, Detroit!
More info below:
DETROIT, December 5, 2014 – FLASHDANCE – THE MUSICAL, the stage adaptation of the 1983 hit film that defined a generation, will perform at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre on March 10 – 22, 2015.

With electrifying dance at its core, FLASHDANCE – THE MUSICAL tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel mill welder by day and a bar dancer by night with dreams of one day becoming a professional performer. When romance with her steel mill boss threatens to complicate her ambitions, Alex learns the meaning of love and its power to fuel the pursuit of her dream.
The original Paramount Pictures film was a worldwide smash hit that became a pop culture phenomenon, grossing over $150 million and featuring a Grammy Award-winning soundtrack.
