Review: CLUE LIVE ON STAGE at Orpheum Theatre Memphis
It was Mrs. White with the wrench in the study... or was it Colonel Mustard with the revolver in the library? Even if you have not seen the cult classic film, you most likely have played the game.

You likely learned the rhyme in school. If you are a history buff like I am, you know the names of each wife of King Henry VIII. And now this popular musical is back at the Orpheum, after first making HERstory in Memphis in November of 2023. Nearly 3 years later, the show is just as fun, just as vib…
Review: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION at Theatre Memphis
Stephen King may be crowned the “King of Horror,” but his body of work stretches far beyond scares, encompassing dramatic classics like, “Stand By Me,” “The Green Mile” and “The Shawshank Redemption.” Audiences devour the novels, the films, or both—but notice what’s missing from …
Review: MAMMA MIA! at Theatre Memphis
Make this make sense: take a handful of successful Swedish pop songs from the 1970s, hand them to a British creative team to build a stage musical set on a Greek island, give it a commonly used Italian exclamation (“Mamma Mia!”), and watch it become an American phenomenon.…
