By far my favorite show was Wicked . The Orpheum Stage just came alive that night the colors, the lighting ,the sound it was truly an amazing night to remember with my family.

I saw "Memphis" last year right after I moved here. What a great introduction to my new hometown!

A cliche but
Phantom at the Orpheum is my favorite. I have seen it in Cincinnati and St Louis and it plays the BEST at the Orpheum. I would love to see backstage!

I recently saw Wicked for the first time with my platonic life partner, who is the complete opposite of me. She has been joking around for years how much we're like Elphaba and GAlinda. It was beyond special to be able to finally see it with her!

Lion KIng...hands down is my favorite. First time I saw it at The Orpheum I said that we must come back and bring our college age children! Then, on my first trip to NYC, I had to see Lion King thinking it would be more than fabulous there. NOPE, just as wonderful as at The Orpheum! Can't wait to see it again and this time bring my GRANDCHILDREN!!

We love seeing Wicked and can't wait until, The Christmas Story comes this Christmas! And, can't wait to see the dancing leg lamps.

We really enjoyed Wicked. My boyfriend had never been to a show at the Orpheum and only agreed to go to make me happy. After the performance, he couldn't stop smiling and telling me how it exceeded his expectations! It was a great night!

I have been going to the Orpheum all my life for amazing shows--one that stands out was Rent. It was the first time I had ever seen it, and it made quite an impact on me and is still one of my favorite show to this day!

I have so many memories of the Orpheum. When I was a teenager they were going to turn it into a parking lot but a really cool guy at my church founded Friends of the Orpheum to keep it going. Our church youth group volunteered to run concessions, clean up, usher - anything to keep the doors open. Eventually, it was renovated and "big ticket" shows started coming. I think the best one I saw there was Yul Brenner in The King and I. He gave us all autographed photos. I'm 50 years old, but it sure doesn't seem like that long ago. I'm just happy the Orpheum is still going strong.

My favorite show at the Orpheum for summer movie series has to be Rocky Horror Picture Show while my favorite broadway production has to be Lion King... I'm looking forward to seeing Lion King again this year & Phantom of the Opera.

Wicked was awesome and the lion king was runner up in my book. The Orpheum is a great place to see shows. Going to NYC, Chicago or San Fran will make you appreciate what we have in our own backyard!!

The Lion King was definitely my favorite show I've been to at the Orpheum!

I have never had the opportunity to see a show at the Orpheum, but I'm looking forward to seeing The Lion King when it comes next year. I promised my wife (before she was my wife) that we would see The Lion King if it ever returned to Memphis, so I hope to hold true to my promise!

I've been to so many great shows over the past 25 years. Les Mis, Fiddler on the Roof, and Wicked are my top three.

Can't wait to take my 10 year old niece to lion king in February! We absolutely loved beauty and the beast a few years ago. Disney ones are great for kids to see their fanorite numbers that they know every word to performed live!

One of my favorite memories as a child is getting all dressed up in my new Christmas Dress and going to see the Nutcracker with my family. Afterwards we would always eat at the Spaghetti Warehouse and sit in the trolley car. Great memories and I hope to carry on the tradition with my own children someday.

I was 14 and my sister worked upstairs in the ticket office- it was such an exciting experience going there and wandering the theatre- my first show was The King and I. Yule Bruner seemed larger than life when we "met " him.

I'm new to Memphis, so I haven't had the pleasure of going to the Orpheum yet, but I'm fully planning on going to see the stage production of Once when it comes in town. Loved the movie, loved the music, and expect to love the play.

I would love to introduce my children to fine arts by taking them to the Orpheum. I have never seen a production there and would be SUPER excited to see both the Lion King and Motown the Musical.
