Annie in Memphis

This post contains affiliate links.

Last week I went to see Annie in Memphis! It was a totally spur if the moment, spontaneous trip and I loved every minute of it! You see, one of my sweet nieces was supposed to have surgery last week so I took off work for that and then at the last minute her surgery was canceled and after I got the news I received an email from The Orpheum that there were some a few seats open that night for Annie! So I took that as a sign, hopped in the shower, got ready and was on my way! I wore my new Lane Bryant scarf and took this selfie right before I left…

Memphis is about a 2 and a half hour drive from my house and I usually stay the night when I go but I was feeling super pumped and decided I would be awake enough to drive home after the show. Also, last minute hotels aren’t exactly cheap in the downtown area.

Previously I have been to The Orpheum to see Matilda, The Lion King, and Mary Poppins. What can I say? I love musicals!!

I got there right before the show started and had just enough time to get a few pics outside, find the bathroom, grab a bottle of water and get to my seat!

I love the Orpheum so much! The building is just gorgeous and I had never been at Christmas and it was fun to see it all decorated!!

My seat for Annie was in the balcony, I have always sat in the Orchestra before, and it actually wasn’t too bad. The next time I go I will try to plan in advance so I can see the stage better!

I actually haven’t seen Annie since I was a kid and had forgotten some of the story. It was so much fun to see it again and this time live! I am such a musical nerd and can’t wait to go see my next show!! I bought a ticket to see Cinderella at The Robinson Center in Little Rock in January. The Robinson recently reopened and I haven’t been since it reopened so I can’t wait to go!!

I also plan on seeing RENT, The Sound of Music, and The Little Mermaid at the Orpheum next spring/summer and The Phantom of the Opera at The Robinson. I have a very busy musical season ahead of me!! I can’t wait!!

Have you seen Annie??
Do you like musicals??

    I have loved the movie for years, but I have never seen the stage show. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid, so I would LOVE to see it live.

    You need to teach me how to take a selfie. Yours are always amazing! Love the scarf! I would love to see Annie! I’ve seen the movie, but never the musical.

    I’ve always wanted to see the Orpheum in person. And oh my gosh, Annie was a childhood favorite of mine – sounds like an amazing experience!

    Annie is one of my favorite musicals. I’d love to see it and then go out and walk around Memphis. I absolutely love that city.

    This is such a fun show! I would have loved to watch this musical. In fact, we will be watching a few musicals during Winter Break over the next week or so!

    They have it here too and I need to go see it! When I was a child and he was my absolute favorite movie. I have all boys in my house but I think they would still like this show!

    I have always loved Annie! It is such a sweet story. I have never seen it live, though. It sounds like a great time!

    Going to a musical is such a wonderful way to spend a night out. The last play I saw was Wicked – or maybe The Sound of Music.

    This is a gorgeous theatre for sure and I would love to see Annie. It has been years since I have seen it so I too forgot some of the story. I love the Lane Bryant scarf which I am probably going to check out for sure also. Thanks for sharing your experience.
