Broadway Flight Series: Live Piano, Secret Shows & Drink Flights in Midland

Broadway Flight Series delivers an offbeat evening of live musical theatre and drinks in Midland, Michigan. Held at 5501 Jefferson Ave, Midland, MI 48640, this two-and-a-half-hour show pairs a live pianist with regional vocalists for a tightly staged tasting menu of four secret Broadway numbers, each matched to a curated flight of beverages. Friday and Saturday performances on January 22 and 23 run 7:00–9:30 pm; advance tickets are $25, $30 at the door. Onstage the format favors immediacy: pianist James Hohmeyer provides nimble accompaniment while a rotating cast from the Great Lakes Bay Region slips between character and confession. New host Mackenzie Hopkins keeps pace and teases the next surprise, and the intentionally undisclosed set list turns each reveal into communal applause. Pairing songs with a flight of drinks creates a palate arc that makes the evening feel part concert, part tasting, with quick changes that maintain momentum. The room itself is compact and social, chairs close to the piano, low lighting, and a bar that encourages conversation between numbers. You may bring snacks, and beverages are included with admission, a relaxed policy that keeps the mood welcoming for groups and couples alike. Because the Flight Series highlights local talent and small-scale production values, it stands out in a city better known for riverside parks and industrial heritage. Midland sits on the Tittabawassee River and offers easy daytime attractions like the Tridge and Dow Gardens, making it simple to pair an afternoon walk with an evening show. The Flight Series complements the local arts scene by delivering short, high-value performances that appeal to date nights, theater-curious visitors, and small social groups. Practical details are straightforward: shows run roughly 2.5 hours; arrive a little early to choose seats and order drinks; advance purchase saves money. The event description lists what is included as "Theatrical entertainment and beverages," while snacks are not provided and must be brought from outside if you wish to nibble during the show. Specifics such as age limits and accessibility features were not provided in the listing, so contact the organizer or check the booking link for those details. Tickets are $25 prepay and $30 at the door, and the evening is hosted by a local team using the shortname becreative360; owner or operator information is not specified in the provided listing. For visitors planning an arts-forward weekend in Midland, reserve a seat early, pair the show with a daytime walk along the river, and consider an evening at a downtown restaurant afterward to complete a compact, memorable night out. Booking through the event referral link locks in the discounted rate and supports local performers who make Midland’s modest but vibrant live music ecosystem feel unexpectedly adventurous tonight.
