Mitch Albom's play, "Ernie", is scheduled to open Thursday, April 28 at the City Theatre in Detroit. The City Theatre is just a block away from the Detroit Tiger's home of Comerica Park.
According to Albom's website, the play begins on Harwell's last night at the ballpark, just before he was getting ready to head out on to the field to give his heartfelt goodbye. Just before he walks onto the field, he meets a boy who is eager to know all about him. Harwell then gives his final broadcast the "broadcast of his life."
Starring in the play will be Will Young, who plays Ernie Harwell and TJ Corbett, who'll be playing the boy. Director Tony Caselli will be headlining this project.
The show is sure to be a hit with all audiences, especially baseball fans. Tickets for the show ($20 and $25) go on sale Saturday, Feb. 19 at 10:00 a.m. You can purchase tickets online at OlympiaEntertainment.com, the Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy, all Ticketmaster locations, Ticketmaster.com, and also at the City Theatre box office, located inside Hockeytown Cafe.
