Fans of science fiction and humor will be pleased to know the Orpheum Theatre is host to Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live: The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour. Based on the Peabody Award-winning television hit, the show features original host and creator of the show, Joel Hodgson, as well as trash-talking robots Crow, Gypsy, and Tom Servo, as they joke their way through the cheesiest movies the universe has ever seen. This farewell tour includes songs and sketches for a full evening of entertainment, and might be just the event you want to share with any incoming relatives for the holidays. It's onstage at the Orpheum on November 19th.
If you're looking for an all-ages event to kick off your holiday season, the Orpheum has you covered there too with Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker.

Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker is onstage at the Orpheum on November 23rd.
