'Michigan Matters' Focus: Mitch Albom On Detroit And Hockeytown, Roundtable Debates Trump-Hillary

Detroit Free Press columnist and best selling author Mitch Albom talks about his latest project "Hockey: The Musical" -- a comedy now showing at City Theatre which taps into Detroit's love affair with the sport.

Albom had wanted to write the musical comedy revolving it for years and finally dived in and decided to do it. His brother, Peter Albom, is directing it.

The play continues through July 10.

Albom then has another play about Detroit Tigers legendary announcer Ernie Harwell that will run after at the same theatre. He also talked about the revitalization of Detroit and his far flung career.
