A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO
Hamilton is back!
For the third time, this ground-breaking musical is playing at the Orpheum. I am happy you are here to enjoy it.
For some of you, this may be the first time you are seeing the show. If so, welcome.
For others, it might be the 10th. I always wonder what it is about mega-hits that people watch them numerous times without losing interest. What is it about shows like Wicked, Lion King, Phantom, and Hamilton that hold an audience’s attention through multiple viewings?
First, I believe, it starts with the story. Good storytelling is essential for any theatrical hit. Second, it must have great music. Songs that you hum as you exit the theatre at the end of the night. A refrain that plays in your mind for days after the performance. Third, it must be well-staged; from acting to singing to dancing to design. The show must keep your visual interest for 2.5 hours, or you would become bored after seeing it more than once.
Hamilton has all that and more. It also speaks to us because it is based on American history – in this case the life of a Founding Father that we might not know as well as some of the more famous Founding Fathers.
In short, Hamilton is a terrific piece of musical theatre.
It may be hard to believe, but 2025 marks the tenth anniversary of Hamilton’s opening on Broadway! I was proud the Orpheum Theatre Group was the first theatre in Tennessee to bring this magical show to the state in 2019. I was excited to bring it for the second time in 2021. And I am equally pleased to bring it back this year!
So, if you are seeing the show for the first time or the tenth, I welcome you. Hamilton has all the ingredients necessary to be the blockbuster that it is!
Thank you for your support of the Orpheum Theatre.
I hope you can join us on on Monday, March 17 when we will announce our thrilling 2025-2026 Broadway Season.
Enjoy the show!

Matthew López (Book)
From our earliest conversations, we knew we wanted to write a show about people in the process of becoming newer, better, truer versions of themselves. Our characters (and we did come to think of them as ours, and not merely characters on loan from Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond) were underdogs and misfits. Flawed but (mostly) well-intentioned, they are each thirsty for more opportunities, more respect, more money, more love.
Joe and Jerry (eventually Daphne) dream of success as dancers; Sugar dreams of Hollywood stardom; Sue dreams of respect and achievement as a top-flight band leader. For Jerry, Sugar, and Sue especially, these dreams are tempered by the headwinds of racial injustice in 1930’s America. Joe’s ambitions are tempered by his own personal foibles as the abandoned child of a family of grifters.
They all find themselves on a train bound for California, each with a dream of what awaits them, each ending up getting far more than they bargained for, and each better off for having taken the journey.
Marc Shaiman (Music & Lyrics)
Scott Wittman (Lyrics)
As songwriters, our challenge on Some Like It Hot was to celebrate the musical styles of Jazz Age icons like Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Cole Porter, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Lunceford, Louis Jordan, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald but also, through our lyrics, to deal truthfully with the dilemmas and discoveries our characters are wrestling with, issues still prevalent today. We were especially inspired by the collaborations between songwriters like Harold Arlen and performers like Ethel Waters and Lena Horne, which proved that white and Black artists could and should work side by side. Music has always broken down barriers and that kind of kinship forms the foundation of our score: “Let different rhythms move your seat/For I have
always found/We all dance to a different beat/And that’s what makes the world go ‘round!” And thanks to our brilliant director and choreographer, Casey Nicholaw, the show does move to its own special beat.
Casey Nicholaw (Director & Choreographer)
What an assignment! To take a beloved film and give it a modern twist while staying true to the spirit of the original; to craft a piece that feels classic yet modern, funny yet moving. In the process of working with a great quartet of writers—Matthew, Amber, Marc & Scott—we discovered that we could go deeper into the characters and their feelings because now they could sing. And dance! I wanted the choreography to serve the story. In that regard, I was lucky that it was a story about a band. So in staging numbers such as “A Darker Shade of Blue,” “Ride Out the Storm,” “Take It Up A Step,” and “He Lied When He Said Hello,” I could blend the world of our characters with the performances of Sweet Sue’s Society Syncopators. One other thing stands out as a huge joy: the creation of “Tip Tap Trouble,” the climactic dance in Act 2. Assisted by our brilliant music department and our remarkable designers, I was able to take all the puzzle pieces of the story and instead of having a long dialogue scene, convey it all through choreography. Working on Some Like It Hot has been a dream come true.
