Saw a concert here recently. It is retro, posh and elegant. I would recommend it. Staff is friendly no matter how many times they are asked the same question by different people. More

Great theater that hearkens back to the olden days when theaters were elaborate in design and a production in and of themselves. Seats, despite being traditional, are comfy.

We saw "The Rat Pak Is Back" here. The performance was terrific. They all sounded like the original singers although some of them didn't look much like them. The theatre is a grand old theatre reminding me of some on Broadway in NYC. More

The Orpheum is a wonderful venue. Completely restored it offers a special intimacy to theater goers. Beautiful inside and out, a piece of early Americana, any performance worth seeing is worth seeing here. More

The theater is an old building from the Art Deco period, and is quite beautiful. It recently got a facelift with new seats, etc., without destroying the historical beauty. It is a very good venue for downtown theater. More
