Theater Bizarre is a one-of-a-kind night out at the Masonic Temple theater in Detroit. Tickets sell out fast so make sure to reserve yours ASAP; they're $65-$75 for the actual event or $200 for the Preview Gala, which is a more intimate gathering. Theater Bizarre calls itself the "greatest masquerade on earth," and it's a combination of what could be considered sideshow events with "adult" dancing, cinema and more. Costumes are mandatory, and the Preview Gala has more stringent rules, too; make sure to read the Dress Code Policy before buying tickets.
