I was just at the Orpheum last night to watch Lenny Kravitz rock it good. It was a great show. I was a little apprehensive with some of the reviews I have read. The sound was great, our seats weren't broken, and the staff were super cool. It did seem like some deep cleaning and paint work and maybe new... more

I was there last week for ths Smashing Pumpkins show. What I like about the theatre is that it's right in downtown Boston next to a cool poub where we ended up drinking before the show.

This theater may be the worst theater in the Northeast, many seats are broken and most are stained and dirty, the ventilation is non -existent, the management is rude and arrogant, the acoustics are terrible. Save your money and if you want to see a musical performance it's worth it to go to New York City rather than this venue.... more

This place has style. Some of the seats were 1/2 broken, but mine was good and comfey. Sound quality was good. Small enough so you can see the stage good from anywhere. Would definately go there again. If you need to stay in the area Club Quarters is a bargin. more

I just saw Clay Aiken at the Orpheum theater in Boston. Clay was beyond fantastic as usual. I have been to the Wang and the Colonial for shows and I WAS EXPECTING THE ORPHEUM TO BE THE SAME. What a shame. This could be a beautiful place. The sound and size of the theater were excellent. The theater was so... more

this is such a beautiful venue! it is tucked away and not really visible unless you're standing right in front of it... this is an awesome place to see bands. It is similar to symphony hall in the way it was made. the acoustics are great! more
