The first performance was held by John Philip Sousa.[1] The auditorium was segregated and had a separate entrance and balcony for black patrons,[1] and in 1945 a performance of Annie, Get Your Gun did not go ahead because the cast included black members.[2] Elvis Presley played Ellis Auditorium on May 15, 1956 to open the Cotton Carnival.[3] Presley also made a number of other appearances at the venue.[4][6]Other performers who played Ellis included David Bowie (1972)[5] SportsEllis Auditorium also hosted basketball events, including a 6,000-strong all-white crowd who watched the all-black Harlem Globetrotters play in 1953.[6] The Memphis Tigers basketball team also played select games at Ellis.
