Famous Peabody Ducks to Waddle Red Carpet at Memphis Opening

Every day, thousands of Tennessee tourists gather at the Peabody Hotel to meet the famed hotel’s most famous residents: the Peabody Ducks, who live on the roof and hang out in a lobby fountain during the day. On October 19, Broadway will get to know the famous fowl at the opening night of Memphis, where these city celebs will walk the red carpet at the Shubert Theatre. Check out this adorable newsreel video created by the show to trump up the hometown heroes. Oh, by the way, human opening night well-wishers expected to be upstaged by the ducks include Bret Michaels, Lenny Kravitz, Rosie O’Donnell, Gina Gershon, Al Sharpton, Alan Cumming, Patrick Wilson and Bon Jovi rockers Richie Sambora and Tico Torres.
