MARQUEE The Orpheum Theatre - Memphis

2011-2012 BROADWAY SEASON SPONSORED BY

April 24-29, 2012



We know you come to The Orpheum to see the highest quality theatrical experiences, so through the generous sponsorship of our friends at Harrah’s Tunica, we’ve put together a delightful mix of new productions and Mid-South favorites. We kick off the season with the inspirational and uplifting story of a young boy named BILLY ELLIOT, followed by CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. who successfully conned millions of dollars worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, a doctor, and a legal prosecutor. The internationally acclaimed extravaganza, BLUE MAN GROUP, along with the dazzling heartwarming Disney classic, MARY POPPINS, and the splendid new production of Cole Porter’s ANYTHING GOES are sure to thrill audiences, young and old alike. JERSEY BOYS will be working its way back to The Orpheum, along with the show that won our hearts, MEMPHIS. If you’ve already seen these fine productions and prefer not to include one or both in your season package, you may “opt-out”. As an “opt-in”, but for one weekend only, we are bringing you ROCK OF AGES, the rock ‘n’ roll romance told through the heart-pounding hits of Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Poison, Whitesnake, and more. I’d like to encourage you to visit our website or call our box office if you have questions about any of the shows in our season. BILLY ELLIOT, JERSEY BOYS, and MEMPHIS contain adult language that some members of our audience may find objectionable. The producers and directors of these shows wanted to tell these stories as honestly as possible, and therefore choose to use authentic language. As the only theatre in the area offering touring Broadway productions, The Orpheum strives to make all highly acclaimed, Tony Award© winning productions accessible to our patrons. We depend on you to weigh carefully whether or not a particular show is right for you. Current season ticket holders may renew their season tickets online at orpheummemphis.com, by phone at 901-525-3000, by visiting our Box Office locations at The Theatre or The Booksellers at Laurelwood. If you’re considering becoming a season ticket holder, we encourage you to stop by the concierge desk to pick up a copy of our free season brochure and a pre-order form. The support of our season ticket holders helps us bring the best of Broadway entertainment to the Mid-South while enhancing cultural life in our community, and preserving the beautiful Orpheum Theatre for future generations. With these great shows in The Orpheum’s 2012-2013 Broadway Season, and more benefits than ever before, there’s never been a better time to become a season ticket holder! On behalf of the Board of Directors, I whole-heartedly thank you for your patronage and support and I look forward to seeing you for another exciting season at The Orpheum! Pat Halloran | President & CEO Memphis Development Foundation - Orpheum Theatre

About CHARLES ADDAMS The musical The Addams Family is inspired by the creations of the legendary American cartoonist Charles Addams, who lived from 1912 until 1988. In 1933, when he was just 21, his work was published in The New Yorker, and over the course of nearly six decades, he became one of the magazine’s most cherished contributors. Addams is most widely known for his characters that came to be called The Addams Family, a group that evolved into multiple television shows, motion pictures and now this Broadway musical. The majority of his cartoons

12

are occupied by hundreds of other characters, but there is little doubt that those that come to life on this stage are his most beloved creations. Over 15 books of his drawings have been published around the world, including the new collection, The Addams Family: An Evilution. Addams’ works appear in a number of prestigious permanent collections including The New York Public Library, The Museum of the City of New York and The Library of Congress.
