Cody Slaughter and fellow cast members from the Broadway musical "Million Dollar Quartet" perform briefly at the Rock 'N' Soul museum to promote the show, which performed on tour at the Orpheum.
“Million Dollar Quartet,” the rock and roll musical set at Sun Studio, did the best business of its tour thus far at the Orpheum theater last week.
Orpheum president Pat Halloran said that 17,000 people saw the production. The theater averaged 93 percent capacity. He said it was the highest grossing week of the show’s tour.
“I was a little surprised it did so well,” Halloran said. “I was expecting maybe in the upper 80 percent capacity range. But nearly every night looked like a full house.”
The top grossing musical so far for the number of days at the Orpheum was “Memphis,” which ran for 13 performances last October and will be returning in 2013, tentatively in the spring.
Halloran says he’s working on bringing “Million Dollar Quartet” back as well, but it could be toward the end of its tour, possibly months away from now.
