2024-25 Broadway Season at the Orpheum Theatre

The new Broadway season at Orpheum Theatre in downtown Memphis begins in September.

Darel Snodgrass talks with Orpheum Public Relations Director Kristen Bennett about MJ, the multiple Tony Award®-winning musical about the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour. The musical kicks off the 2024-25 Broadway season at the Orpheum Theatre on Tuesday, September 17.

In addition to discussing Girl From the North Country—featuring the music of Bob Dylan, opening Tuesday, October 8—Bennett talks about a special pre-season event: a screening of the 1925 classic silent film The Phantom of the Opera. Tony Thomas will perform on the recently restored Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ at this event, which takes place on Friday, August 16, at the Orpheum Theatre.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
