RENT 20th Anniversary Tour by Orpheum Theatre

MARQUEE June 16 - 18, 2017

Broadway Season sponsored by:

COMING TO MEMPHIS IN OUR 2018-19 SEASON

Subscribers from the 2017-2018 Season will have first access to Hamilton when they renew their subscription for the 2018-2019 Broadway Season.

Welcome to this performance of RENT. We thank you for your patronage this season and look forward to having you back as we finish out the remainder of this wonderful season with Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Looking ahead, you may have heard our exciting news… HAMILTON is coming to Memphis! In February, the Orpheum announced that the mega-hit Broadway musical, Hamilton, will be on our stage in the 2018-2019 Season. We have worked very hard to secure this show for our audience, and you don’t want to miss your shot! As exciting as this announcement is, we also announced the equally enthralling 2017-2018 Season. Beginning with a beautiful new production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I, followed by the stunning An American in Paris, and continuing with The Phantom of the Opera, Finding Neverland, The Color Purple, Wicked, and closing with the hilarious musical comedy Something Rotten!, the 2017-2018 Season has something for everyone. Season Ticket Holders enjoy many benefits, including choice of the best seats, easy ticket exchange and resale options, Swap-A-Show privileges, pre-paid parking, and the first opportunity to renew for the upcoming season. But if you purchase a full season ticket package now, you also lock in exclusive savings of up to 20% off single ticket prices. We understand that purchasing a season ticket package is a financial commitment. Our simple six-month payment plan will allow you to spread out the cost of your season with more feasible installments. Season Ticket Holders are the lifeblood of the Orpheum. Bringing a show like Hamilton to Memphis would be very risky if not for our dedicated Season Ticket Holders. Between the costs for the show, the advertising, and the local labor, the Orpheum is taking on a seven-figure risk. But we are willing to take that risk because we know our Season Ticket Holders will be there to support us. For that, I am eternally grateful. Please consider joining us next season and taking full advantage of subscriber benefits by becoming a Season Ticket Holder. Since going on sale in April, we have received a recordbreaking response. So don’t wait; act now and become an Orpheum subscriber today. Remember, becoming a Season Ticket Holder is the best way to guarantee that you’ll be first in line to get tickets to Hamilton when it comes to Memphis the following season. Everyone else will have to wait and take their chances when single tickets go on sale in late 2018. Why risk missing out? Subscribe today.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO RESTORE THE ORPHEUM THEATRE’S MIGHTY WURLITZER ORGAN TO ITS ORIGINAL 1928 SPLENDOR. The Mighty Wurlitzer organ, which celebrates its 90th birthday alongside the theatre in 2018, was built in North Tonawanda, New York, in 1928 and was shipped to the Orpheum on September 25 of that same year. The $19,000 instrument was originally purchased to play for vaudeville shows and silent movies and is now enjoyed by patrons during our annual Summer Movie Series. However, time has taken its toll on this precious instrument. A recent study of the organ, commissioned by the Orpheum Theatre Group and completed by JL Weiler, Inc. of Chicago, the nation’s most noted restorer of theatre organs, showed approximately $500,000 worth of rebuilding is needed to fully restore the instrument. They estimate that without major improvements the organ will be inoperable within the next year and a half. We invite the entire community to help us save this important piece of the Orpheum’s history. Multiple generations of patrons have enjoyed the Mighty Wurlitzer organ and we want to ensure that future generations continue to experience it. The restoration process will involve sending the organ to JL Weiler’s shop in Chicago where it will be rebuilt, and then returning it to its place of importance at the historic Orpheum Theatre.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: •

Make a donation at Orpheum-Memphis.com/Wurlitzer

• Donate while you’re at the theatre. Ushers will be collecting donations before and after every Orpheum Theatre event.

A Note About the Plot

enny is Mark and Roger’s former roommate. With the help of his wealthy father-in-law, Benny has bought the building in which Mark and Roger live, and the lot next door that is inhabited by a group of homeless people. Benny wants to build a high-tech cyber-arts studio on the property. Toward this end, he plans to clear the homeless from the lot and evict all the tenants from the building, including Mark and Roger.

Mark’s former lover, Maureen, schedules a performance protest of Benny’s scheme for midnight on Christmas Eve. Benny offers a deal to Mark and Roger: If they convince Maureen to stop her protest, they can stay in the building rent-free. At the end of Act I, Maureen stages her performance. A riot erupts in the lot, which Mark videotapes. Then Benny padlocks the building, locking out all the tenants. Act II begins on New Year’s Eve as Mark, Roger and friends attempt to break back into the building. The rest of the act follows the events of the year.

Mark and Roger are best friends and roommates
