Orpheum Theatre

Located in the heart of the city, the Orpheum Theatre Phoenix is breath-taking. It is a multipurpose facility which is both educational and artistic, with the ability to make its guests leave with an air of enlightenment. Constructed in 1929 using up a total of $750,000, this historical landmark was opened for vaudeville shows. It has now been restored for a price of over fourteen million dollars, reopened with modern elements mixed with the old.

The Orpheum Theatre Phoenix is able to hold 1,300 people, making it one of the most sought after venues when it comes to the performing arts, conventions, seminars, civic events, etc. It has 302 balcony seats, and 1,062 orchestra level seats. Production and performance companies also use it from time to time.

It is also the place called "home" by the members of the Theater League and Southwest Arts and Entertainment, also responsible for bringing in hundreds of events to the site.

The said edifice is also included in the National Register of Historic Places. It is, in fact, the only 'stage' elected as 'historic' in the Valley. It also remains as the last remaining model of palace architecture in the city.

Art aficionados are sure to gape at restored paintings hung on its walls that are the real McCoy. While waiting for a show to start, or after an event, many people will want to spend time looking at art deco pieces which add to the beauty of the said edifice.

Aside from the European feel that one can get from the Orpheum Theatre Phoenix, it is also noticeable that the place has comfortable seating, with enough room for the guests to stretch their legs. The seats are spacious enough to provide the coziness and contented atmosphere that people look for in concerts, plays, and performance venues.

Before the shows start, the site also has some special affects to keep you entertained, making you feel like the clouds are rolling by once you look up the ceilings.

Found in 203 West Adams St., the Orpheum Theatre Phoenix is a premier location for shows like jazz concerts, comedy acts, etc. Though still allowing people to reminisce the days of the Spanish Baroque design, it is without doubt very modern, with the capacity to manage world class presentations. If you want a dose of musicals, pop concerts, and the likes, this will certainly be the place to run to whenever you travel in Arizona.
