Orpheum Theatre illuminated marquee

The Orpheum Theatre's vertical sign and street-level marquee on South Main Street are traditional illuminated features of downtown Memphis and are lit for nightly performances. The historic Orpheum hosts touring Broadway shows, concerts, and other events, and the theatre's exterior lighting is part of its landmark presence in the Main Street Theater District. Photographs and city guides commonly cite the Orpheum's lit marquee as an iconic night-time image of Memphis. The theatre maintains box office hours and posts showtimes which include evening performances that coincide with the marquee lighting.
