Peter Pan
Peter Pan swoops onstage to dazzle eyes of all ages in a ballet adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s beloved tale. In Neverland, children stay young forever, no mothers are around to send them to bed, and candy is considered an acceptable entree for any meal. There, the mischievous Lost Boys and their leader, Peter, engage in an unending battle with Captain Hook and his band of pirates, but when Peter brings the Darling children from a far-away land, things begin to change. Jealously tints Tinkerbell’s magic, love cracks Peter’s juvenile manner, and the Lost Boys’ battle with the pirates take on a newfound gravity. Throughout the performance, young dancers effortlessly capture the feeling of eternal youth and flight as they pirouette and tour jeté across the stage.
The Orpheum Theatre
Though it’s gone by three names and flourished in as many forms, The Orpheum Theatre has maintained its reputation as a bustling cultural center and go-to destination for entertainment in Memphis. Originally a Vaudeville theater known as the Grand Opera House, the venue was destroyed and subsequently transformed by a fire in 1923. What rose from the ashes was The Orpheum, expanded and bequeathed with ornate accents such as brocade draperies, crystal chandeliers, and a giant top hat. In 1940, the Malco movie-theater chain took over to play first-run films for a younger generation before selling three decades later to the Memphis Development Foundation. Now restored to its original lavishness, The Orpheum Theatre beckons Broadway shows, concerts, and comedians to its sweeping stage year round.
