Update: Halloween 2024, Attended a showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Murphy Theatre. It was great! Dancing the TIME WARP on the street in front of the theatre with other attendees, watching and hearing the audience take part in the show and getting a few little items to remember the fun night we had....loved it. Can't wait to see what they have planned next.
1st visit: We went to see the Animaniacs concert; it was my first time going to the Murphy theatre. It was wonderful. The beautiful decor and the show made for great evening.

They have a concession and bar and a comedy improv to check out as well....

Thank you Mike for a...

My son has done plays there and his band performed, I even seen Davy Jones there many many many years ago. It's a historical landmark for sure, it might have even made a cinematic debut in "Lost in Yonkers" it was a film shot in downtown Wilmington done up to look like the 50's I am not 100% sure if the Murphy made the film ( it was a terrible movie) I would have to see it again to...
