Truly AMAZING!!! Anyone that knew or knew of Ernie Harwell should see this play! What an awesome tribute! Mitch Album wrote another captivating & emotional story-how lucky for him to have known Ernie personally! Exceptional acting as well!
A truly exciting trip down memory lane with the man who lead the way with joy and humility. Ernie lives again on the City Theatre stage.
If you are a fan of baseball in Detroit .. This is a MUST SEE! It was great! I'd see it again! Great job ! Thank you for bringing this to Detroit again this season, I'm so glad I finally had the time to go see it!
Tastefully written and performed! Very impressive! To tell the story of a 91 year old in good detail in a very short performance time and have it done successfully, was truly an incredible accomplishment. Thanks to ALL involved for the memory of Ernie and much, much more.
Today we went to Detroit to see the play "ERNIE." It was more than what I expected for a two man show. I laughed and I even had tears and more tears. It was AWESOME! So if you have thought about going, GO! Take a tissue with you.
As an old time, lifelong Tiger fan, I had to shake myself back to reality more than once because I really thought I was watching Ernie himself on the stage. In fact, to this day, I don't know if I was hearing recorded audio from his on field speech at Comerica, or the actor speaking those words. Awesome Experience that even my wife enjoyed tremendously.
I saw "Ernie" 2 years ago with my father-in-law and enjoyed it this time with my wife. She loved it, too, said it brought back memories of summer nights listening to Ernie's broadcasts. It caused her to tear up several times.
This sweet play was a walk down memory lane that I was lucky enough to share with my dad and my sister. I remember hearing Ernie Harwell on the radio while my dad was doing yard work when I was a little girl. Anyone who has a love for Ernie and the Tigers should definitely put this on your list of things to see.
Our group of four loved the play "Ernie". After years of wanted to see it we finally made time to attend. The show did not disappoint. Even the one non-baseball fan enjoyed the evening. The loyal Tiger fans took a wonderful trip down memory lane and responded to every milestone.
One of the best plays you'll ever see and you don't even have to be a baseball fan let alone a fan of Ernie Harwell. The acting was superb. Mitch Albom's writing was perfect.
I laughed, I cried, I learned a ton of things about Ernie's life. But most of all I loved to hear his voice once again.
Spectacular show!!! Worth the time and money spent. It was a nice small venue which made the actors seem so close. It felt like they were talking right to us! After the show Mitch Album along with Peter Carey were in the lobby greeting people, they even took the time for pictures. We met TJCorbett on the way out as well! Everyone was so friendly it was very exciting!! The production was fantastic and I will attend again if it comes around ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
Absolutely wonderful show! You would swear it is Ernie himself!
IF YOU ARE A NATIVE DETROITER THIS IS A MUST SEE. ERNIE NEEDS TO BE ON YOUR MUST SEE LIST. IT TELL THE STORY OF A SOUTHER BOY WHO FALLS IN LOVE WITH BASEBALL AND FALLOWS HIS DREAM AND HOW THAT DREAM IMPACTS HIS LIFE. IT ALSO TELLS THE STORY OF THE DETROIT TIGERS IN OOD YEARS AND BAD WITH A CAST OF CHARACTERS BIGER THAN LIFE. THE CITY THEATER IS JUST THE RIGHT VENUE WITH THE AUDIENCE ALMOST ON STAGE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AAIN.
Ernie was an excellent play, at a cozy small venue, at an affordable price. Highly recommended to go there and then walk down to Detroit I e for a yummy treat, thanks to Mitch Album. An enjoyable day in Detroit with a walk on the river walk.
I thought the play was excellent. It gave my a look at Ernies passed and what kind of man he really was. He was one of the good guys, mentioned his love of Jesus, his family, and Detroit.
The actor playing Ernie was spot on. The actor playing the boy needs to tone his exuberance down! I was a little bit disappointed in the format of this play. Lets face it, it's hard to do a short biography of a great person like Ernie and try to make it entertaining.
Show was excellent- every baseball fan, in particular Tiger fan should see it
Was the second time I saw the event - was just as good as the first. Time the actor that portrays Ernie does a remarkable job.
My wife and I are old enough to remember and be fans of Ernie. We were heartbroken when he was fired by the Tigers and SO happy when they were forced to bring him back. The play is informative, telling snippets of his life with candor and warmth. The two actors accurately portray a humble, simple, honest man who broght baseball to life - and still would if he were still here - even more than TV today can ever do. On a side note, my wife's mom was blind and she saw the games he announced clearly. She had a fantastic memory and could often remember and retell some of the anecdotes Ernie would mention during a game. Brought back a lot of happy memories.
