Coming soon to a theater near you… is the theater itself. Murray City’s beloved Murray Theater is stepping back into the spotlight with a striking new look — and a star-studded reopening.

In early July, city officials unveiled the theater’s freshly restored marquee, trading the faded blue background for a dazzling neon-red Art Deco sign that pays homage to the original 1940’s design. The vintage glow brings back a touch of old Hollywood glamour to State Street, signaling that Murray’s historic entertainment hub is ready for its next act.

Adding to the excitement, the city announced the theater’s first headliner for its much-anticipated grand reopening: international recording artist and former Murray resident Loren Allred. Allred, known for her powerhouse vocals on “Never Enough” from “The Greatest Showman” and her tours alongside legends like David Foster and Andrea Bocelli, will take the revamped stage at the end of September.
