Dear Single Ticket Patron: This is your last chance! Sorry to be so blunt, but I cannot say it more clearly. This is your last chance to become a season ticket holder for the 2016-2017 Orpheum Broadway Series. We just announced our 2016 Holiday Broadway Package. Choose three or more shows from the remaining six shows in our season, including the recently added The Illusionists – Live from Broadway TM, and you will get all the benefits of being a season ticket holder. Or give the package away as a gift and become the coolest gift-giver in your family since your Uncle Orville gave your father that Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1983. This is the perfect gift for every Broadway fan! Options for the Holiday Broadway Package include The Bodyguard: The Musical starring Deborah Cox, The Illusionists – Live from Broadway TM, Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, The Sound of Music, a special weekend engagement of RENT: The 20th Anniversary Tour, and Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Holiday Packages start at just $90 for three shows. Of course, prices vary based on the titles selected, the number of shows in the package, and the performance date. Packages include subscriber benefits such as ticket exchange and resale opportunities; a Subscriber Perks Card, which provides patrons with discounts to VIP Partner businesses; and optional pre-paid discount parking. Think, too, of the future! Becoming a season ticket holder puts you first in line for the 20172018 Season. Renew, and you’ll continue to have first pick of the 2018-2019 Season. Followed by many more seasons to come. There are numerous blockbuster musicals currently playing on Broadway that will be touring the United States in years to come. As a subscriber, you will receive notice of future seasons first. And you will be able to snatch up the best seats before the general public because you had the foresight to look ahead and buy a Holiday Broadway Package today! And unlike that Nintendo Entertainment System your dad thought was so cool in 1983, the Holiday Broadway Package from the Orpheum will never go out of style. Technology may have left Super Mario Brothers in the dust, but live entertainment at the beautiful Orpheum Theatre is timeless. For more information or to purchase a Holiday Season Ticket Package, call 901.525.3000 or visit orpheum-memphis.com. Enjoy tonight’s show. Whether you buy a Holiday Broadway Package or remain a single ticket purchaser, we are glad you are here.

THEATRE ETIQUETTE As a courtesy to the performers and patrons, latecomers will be seated at an appropriate break in the performance. Turn off your cell phone and other electronic devices. The light and noise from cell phones and electronic devices are a distraction to performers and those seated around and above you. No text messaging, photography, or recording. Do not talk or whisper during the performance. Also, please refrain from searching through your purse or bag or unwrapping candy. You may be making more noise than you think. The Orpheum staff and our dedicated team of volunteers work hard to accommodate modern crowds in our historic theatre. Please be patient as we work to serve you as best as possible. Certain productions may not be suitable for all ages. We recommend taking the time to determine which shows are appropriate for your children. Visit our website at Orpheum-Memphis.com or call our Box Office at (901) 525-3000 if you have any questions. In order to help ensure the safety of our guests, all weapons are prohibited at the Orpheum Theatre and the Halloran Centre for Performing Arts & Education. Help us keep our venues safe: if you see anything suspicious, please tell an usher or an Orpheum Theatre Group representative.
