1978

Nederlander produced the revival of Stop the World – I Want to Get Off (1978), Into the Light (1986), and Side Show (1997).

1970

As the family business expanded and James moved to New York to continue to buy theatres and produce Broadway shows, Nederlander stayed behind to run operations in Detroit.

1961

Nederlander was instrumental in the complete reconfiguration of the Fisher Theatre in 1961 with his father, D.T. and brother, James. The 3,500-seat movie house built by the Fisher brothers would be pared down to a state-of-the-art 2,200-seat legitimate live theatre. It quickly became a premier venue not only in Detroit, but across the country. Not long after opening, it had the largest season-ticket subscription in the country, at 55,000.
