The Orpheum is such a beautiful theater. There are movies, plays, concerts and musicals going on all year. In the summer they have a classic movie series and throughout the year there is a Broadway series. Upcoming shows include Wicked, Legally Blonde and Avenue Q. Check the schedule and visit the Orpheum Theater whenever you are in Memphis. more
