Million Dollar Quartet

The iconic jukebox musical Million Dollar Quartet is guaranteed to blow the roof off the NorShor Theatre! On December 4, 1956, an extraordinary twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together at Sun Records in Memphis for one of the greatest jam sessions ever. Million Dollar Quartet brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, and celebrations. Relive the era with an incredible score of rock ‘n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits: “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “Walk the Line,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog,” and many more — performed live on stage!

The Great Pumpkin Train

All aboard for a fall adventure like no other — the Great Pumpkin Train! Once a year, a magical pumpkin field appears along the tracks, and the only way to reach it is by train. Everyone gets a pumpkin! Admission to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum is included, so when you’re done pumpkin-picking, you can explore trains, history, and plenty of indoor fun at the Depot like balloon twisting, ventriloquist, magic, and more. It’s a Duluth tradition that’s equal parts festive, cozy, and a little bit quirky — just like autumn itself. When your train pulls into the pumpkin patch, every ticketed passenger gets to claim their very own pumpkin to haul home. The ride lasts about 90 minutes round trip, giving you just enough time to soak in the fall colors, snap too many photos, and debate which pumpkin has the best “front porch face.” Back at the Depot,…
