Things To Do in Detroit This Weekend: January 30-February 1

Big laughs, cinematic sound, and throwback comedy anchor a standout weekend in Metro Detroit.

This lineup offers a mix of spectacle, wit, and crowd-pleasing entertainment, with even more social and cultural events rounding out the week.

"Monty Python's Spamalot" is a zany, Tony Award-winning musical comedy adapted from the classic film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," bringing absurd humor and theatrical whimsy to the stage.

There will be dozens of hilariously incompetent sketches and animated performances, including "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" and other British comedy routines.

Epic Film Scores is a cinematic musical celebration presented by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Steve Reineke. Audiences will journey through the most recognizable scores in film history as they listen to great music from Hollywood's past and present. They'll experience some of the most famous, beloved musical scores from suspense-filled classics to adventures that have defined multiple generations of cinema.
