Today, the Halloran Centre at the Orpheum announced a new theatre series as part of the On Stage at the Halloran Centre programming. Three shows comprise this inaugural series that will run December through March 2018. Tickets are on sale now, and patrons can secure all three shows for the price of two at just $90.
"I always envisioned that the On Stage series would not only feature the best of music but would showcase talent from different areas of the arts," said Ron Jewell, Vice President of Halloran Centre Operations. "The addition of this series is a positive step toward making that vision a reality with three great shows I know theatregoers will love."
The series opens in December with Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie starring Jamie Farr. Farr is known for his memorable role as Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger in the 70s TV hit M*A*S*H. In February, the one-man show Say Goodnight Gracie starring Alan Safier follows the life of the late legendary entertainer, George Burns. The series concludes in March with Disenchanted! The Hilarious Hit Musical. This not-for-the-kiddies musical comedy features the original storybook princesses you think you know.
Single show ticket prices are $45, but patrons can purchase all three shows for the price of two at $90. Series packages are available for purchase through the Orpheum box office. For more information or to purchase tickets call 901.525.3000 and visit www.orpheum-memphis.com or Ticketmaster.

Alan Safier as George Burns in SAY GOODNIGHT GRACIE

Spend a hilarious, heart-warming evening in the uplifting company of George Burns, the world's favorite and funniest centenarian. Burns, who spanned over 90 years of American entertainment history, is now alive and kicking - and singing and dancing - in a stunning solo performance for Safier. Say Goodnight Gracie brings to life Burns's fascinating story.
DISENCHANTED! The Hilarious Hit Musical
March 16 - 17, 2018
Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs 'em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical that's anything but Grimm. Forget the princesses you think you know - the original storybook heroines have come back to life to set the record straight. These royal renegades tossed off their tiaras to bring their hilariously subversive, not-for-the-kiddies musical to you - and what you thought about princesses will never be the same.
