History
Opened in 1921 as a grand movie palace and vaudeville live performance venue, the theater was known as the Macomb Theatre until 1987, when it went through a series of name, use and ownership changes.
The Macomb Music Theatre was designed by noted theater architect, C. Howard Crane, who also designed Detroit's Orchestra Hall and Fox Theatre. One of the first grand movie palaces in the metropolitan Detroit area, the Macomb Music Theatre is the largest venue of its type in Macomb County.
From 2000 to 2012, the venue was known as the Emerald Theatre. In July 2012, the Emerald Theatre was padlocked in foreclosure by Talmer Bank and Trust, closing the venue.
On November 5, 2012, the theater was purchased and renovations began on the historic property at an anticipated cost in excess of $2 million. Under new ownership, it was renamed the Macomb Music Theatre. The newly renovated venue opened its doors on April 13, 2013 with a sold out jazz concert featuring Grammy award winners and nominees Gerald Albright, Norman Brown and Alex Bugnon, followed by the Grammy award winning comedy duo Cheech & Chong on April 21, 2013.
Productions
Notable live events at the venue include the taping of VH1’s "Kid Rock Christmas", featuring Kid Rock and Carmen Electra, and the Sports Illustrated Super Bowl XL Party in 2006. Other artist performances at the venue include, among others, Uncle Kracker, Vince Neil, Mike Posner, The Cult, Styx, The Psychedelic Furs, Motörhead, Pearl Jam, and Michael Bolton.
