Detroit-Inspired Valentine's Gift #3

Still trying to come up with a cool Detroit Valentine's Day gift? Here's one for all you married folks: surprise your spouse by renewing your vows, and then taking in the global smash hit, Mamma Mia! It all happens on February 14 at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit's New Center area.

Based on the songs of ABBA, this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship focuses on a daughter's quest to uncover the identity of her father on the eve of her wedding night.

Renew your vows and you'll be entered into a drawing to win a second honeymoon, which includes a one-night stay and breakfast at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, dinner for two at Mario's in Detroit and a ladies' diamond anniversary band.

To sign up to renew your vows before the 8 pm V-Day performance, call 248-651-4858.

Mamma Mia! opens at the Fisher Theatre tonight and runs through Sunday, February 24. Tickets range from $26.50 - $66.50 and can be purchased online here.

To participate, head to Compuware (meet in the Atrium) at Campus Martius Park between 10 am and 5 pm on Saturday, December 1. Once there, you will be given a SHOP Detroit map/directory of participating stores with coupons, and, shortly after, will be off on your own Detroit shopping extravaganza!

Parking is available in the Compuware Parking Deck (validated with purchase from Compuware retailers). Or, take advantage of two free hours of parking at meters and city-owned parking garages during December courtesy of the city of Detroit.
