525 W 7th St

Not gonna lie. I really don't care to go to Los Angeles for any reason. Mostly because of the traffic nightmare. But the pull of seeing Johnny Marr once more was too much for me so I'll brave it for him lol. But you know what? I'd definitely come back to the Orpheum and I'll tell you why. Located on Broadway in DTLA, the Orpheum is very easy to find amongst all the neon and marquees. There are numerous parking lots and I got one a short walk from the theater. The cost was $15, which after paying $68 at SoFi and Intuit Dome this was an absolute bargain. The interior of the Orpheum is incredible. When I entered the lobby, I felt like I was walking back in time. You can actually walk around and admire your surroundings unlike modern venues. In the basement level you'll find a big waiting area, a bar in its own separate room and finally the bathrooms. The areas are clearly marked and staff was also very nice, guiding everyone to their seats. There isn't a bad seat in the house....until people start standing up when the music plays. I'm 6'2" and the guy next to me was probably 6'5" so I'd say I'd feel bad for the people behind us but I'm not going to sit and look at someone's butt for the next 2-3 hours lol. So I'd recommend taller shoes if you're watching a concert here and you're on the less tall side. Sound was excellent as you'd expect. It wasn't mega loud but as always I'd still recommend earplugs. The Orpheum is a spectacular venue. It's a real piece of history with modern sound and function. I'd see another show here without hesitation, which is a real compliment seeing my disdain for sitting in traffic for over an hour. 1000% recommended!

Location 2: On Broadway in DTLA. Historic Theater District that is currently a mix of upscale bars, restaurants and hotels along with the homeless tents. Some street parking and plenty of paid parking lots, but many are not secured and may not be the safest. Don't leave anything in your car and pray for the best! The theater does not have their own self-parking or valet. Venue 3.5: Beautiful theater. Historic, nostalgic venue from early 20th century. Well-kept. Medium sized venue of probably a couple of thousand seats on three levels, floor, loge and balcony. Looks like every seat is a good seat (viewing-wise ;) read on)! Seats on the floor are nice and comfortable but loge and balcony seats can be tight and cramped and not as comfortable. I just read on their website that they have newly upgraded the seats. Service 3: The only services I have been exposed to were the security staff and the ticket check at the entrance. Staff were friendly and polite. No issues whatsoever. Food & Drinks N/A: I did not have any food or drinks there. There are plenty of nice bars and restaurants nearby :) The last word 3.5: Nice historic venue to enjoy some good entertainment at. Will be happy to visit again!

Very Beautiful historic building. Gorgeous inside. Easy parking. Lots everywhere. $15 Friendly staff/security inside. Plenty of bars and bathrooms located throughout. Very clean. Food options are turkey sandwich, quesadillas, (w/ or w/out meat) hotdogs, popcorn, candy etc (maybe a burger too, just can't remember) Definitely doable if you get hungry. I'm hoping they list the food on their website soon. It can only help We saw the Fab 4 Beatles. Front row balcony / center. Sound was perfect. And it truly didn't feel like we were sitting in a balcony. Great place to see a show. I would go back in a heartbeat. We had no issues whatsoever with the homeless population. If you're worried about leaving late, technically you're leaving with 1900 other people. No issues, just be smart. We had a wonderful time

Great venue for comedy night , comedy was fun, drinks were okay, food was okay, staff was amazing

Beautiful and well-maintained theatre. We purchased tickets to see Felipe Esparza. There was a full house. You will have to park at a nearby parking garage or parking lot. Luckily, we found one down the street. You will find a bar and concession stand to order food/snacks while walking in. The bar offers many options and we were helped quickly. There is ample seating space. We had great seats with a clear view of the stage. The show was great.

It was my first time here at the Orpheum Theater. It is located in downtown LA, at South  Broadway street. We used Uber to enjoy a stress- free night. A quick history about the Orpheum Theater. The Orpheum theater is named for the Greek mythological poet and musician Orpheus. The Orpheum Theater opened in 1926. The design was a limestone , Art Deco exterior with the iconic vertical towering marquee. The venue is classy. I enjoyed the art Deco style in the interior of the venue. I am astonished with its unique architecture. The venue was very clean and spacious. The employees were very organized and friendly. The check in was fast. The concert was for the World Famous Croatian Cellist Hauser. We were lucky to have our seats in the second middle row , very close to the stage. Hauser is really  charismatic  and his performance was phenomenal. His band members were very talented , energetic, and funny. The whole night was magical. I am looking forward to attending more performance at the Orpheum Theater.

The Orpheum has been restored and makes for a lovely concert venue. The chandeliers in the lobby are beautiful but the ones inside the venue are even more so. We sat up in the balcony. While the seats are wide enough to accommodate most people comfortably, the leg space is a bit tight. It you taller than 5'3", you may be a bit smushed. There are no railings up in the balcony either. If you have a hard time climbing stairs, I strongly encourage you to shell out for seats on the main floor. It is particularly challenging to descend the stairs due to the pattern on the carpet.

One of the beautiful, historic theaters/theatres that we have here in Los Angeles. I don't know too much of the history or if there were any major revitalizations/ retrofits/ remodels, but the design and building is beautiful. Going to an event here feels more on the intimate side, so it's great for plays, speaking events, stand-up, smaller concerts, etc. I don't think I've ever ordered actual food items here, but I think there are limited concessions here; emphasis on the 'think'. Like most events/ venues like this, the drinks always feel a little overpriced, so nothing shocking there. The folks always seemed friendly. Especially considering how crazy their job could get. Over the years, I've been here for a handful of concerts with some of my favorite bands and musicians. I also came here for a couple of stand up comedy shows including Amy Schumer. Two of the most notable shows (for me) I've been here for are: Bright Eyes - 2/2005 The National - 4/2019 - fun guest appearances from Feist, Phoebe Bridgers, Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire, and Alicia Vikander Overall, I would say it's not my favorite venue to see a concert (specifically), but it's a great venue/ building and it's probably ideal more for screenings/ plays/ stand-up. That's not to takeaway from how great of a building it is design/ historic wise.

I came here as part of the Netflix is Joke series to see Brett Goldstein. I had an amazing time! The staff is super helpful with finding seats, and parking was really easy with the adjacent. I suggest getting there about an hour early and just hanging out in the area. Same goes with hanging out after and grabbing dinner while traffic disperses from the lot. The show was incredibly entertaining, and the crowd response was great. Getting into and exiting the venue is really easy. After the show, they open the side doors, and you can get to the parking lot and save a minute or two. I don't drink, so I can't say much anything about the bar or alcohol. You'll have to read the other reviews for their food and drink offerings. The architecture is gorgeous. I'd love to see a band here. Give this spot a shot if you've never been. It's one of the easiest venues to get to, enter, and exit. The seats are pretty comfortable too...typical theater seating. The opener for the show was great too. I'll be back!

Came to the Orpheum on a Friday night to see...John Malkovich in The Music Critic ... Booked tickets on Ticketmaster for around $27 each.. center seats in the balcony... nice seats! Awesome performance by all the musicians and John's acerbic yet hilarious delivery had us rolling from line 1... Magical night in a magical venue... the Orpheum Theatre... The Orpheum club provided much needed drinks and food... grabbed an old fashioned double Bulleit Bourbon w tip for around $30... Nice drink bud! There really isn't anywhere you can't sit where you will be left out of the show... the seating is cozy and close enough to stage so you won't miss a beat... I did get bino envy at times...not gonna lie... but I'll bring my trusty pair next time... John Malkovich is a National Treasure and no venue would be more deserving than the lustrous and magnificent Orpheum... That Bulleit went straight to my head! Btw Nothing to critique here... Malkovich Had us laughing for hours... And the music lesson... Sublime

This venue is so historic and architecturally beautiful, you can almost see its magical movement in the days of yore. Where better than on a street called Broadway in Los Angeles can Chris Isaak display his musical, vocal, and entertainment talent?! I was fortunate to have been a content spectator to such greatness on stage. Nothing compares to live concerts and this was no exception. Thanks to Stacie who was the belle of the ball, ensuring that all guests were duly escorted to their proper seats and all was excellent! The evening was off to a great start thanks to her personable service to all! I was most impressed with Chris's humble nature to expand himself to every part of the audience including the nosebleed seats where his angelic voice resounded everywhere. He was so comedic at times that it felt like he was just chatting with you in your living room and then just threw in an amazing aria! The performance included what looked like choreographed dance routines with intricately tickled guitar cords of Mr.Isaak and his two main accompanying guitarists. His rapport with them was so infectious that I almost wanted to get up there with my air guitar! His beautiful rendition of "Wicked Game" struck me to the heart, my tears were flowing and his final falsetto pierced my soul! That's how good he was! Thankfully his Christmas songs brought many smiles and that lightened the reason for the season. The inclusion of 3 homeless dogs, one with three legs was so touching and reminded us to always adopt and not shop, for our pets! Mr.Isaak is on a California tour so if you can,please go and you will have a permanent smile on your face!

Lived here all my life but still so much of LA that I haven't seen or been to. Luckily this place was easy to find with two parking lots that were cheaper than most parts of LA and walkable to the theater. I got my tickets right when they released to take my bf and I to see Shane and Ryan from Watcher on YouTube for their Ghost Files tour!! We love them and watching their content and were super excited that they started doing live shows! Absolutely beautiful building with amazing interior that you wouldn't even be able to tell from the outside. The seating is super old and unchanged so everything was really tight and hard to move through aisles. They had their merch shop set up in the lobby which created a crazy line cluster but it went by pretty quickly after the show. Wish we got popcorn and drinks but we got there literally a few minutes before the show started and didn't want to miss anything. We had a great night and would love to see them again!

WOW!!! What a beautiful historical building. If you ever have the opportunity to see something here, do it!!! I saw a Chris Issak show here the other night and it was fabulous. Not only was the concert great, but the venue was a step back in time. The art deco architecture was really beautiful. They also offered a nice food menu before the concert began, which I would've taken advantage of if I had known. The drawback to this place is the parking. I did happen to find parking right next to the venue, which was lucky for me. It was the last available spot. Otherwise, you could park several blocks away in Downtown L.A., which is not great to be walking late at night. Still, I'd take my chances and I'd love to come here again.

We went to The Orpheum Theatre for a Charlie Zaa concert recently. Concert was at 8 PM and the doors opened at 7 PM. It was our first time there, so we arrived around 6:15 PM and found parking directly next to the theatre for $15. We wound up being first in line but lots of people started to show up not long after. We felt safe waiting outside even with the usual downtown weirdos lurking around. After going through the security metal detectors, we had free reign to roam throughout the theatre. We honestly fell in love with the 1920s architecture! The theatre is kept in top shape after all these years (97 years old to be exact) and looks amazing! We saw 3 bars - one on the second floor, one on the ground level in front of the theatre doors and one downstairs (which we liked better for the old-fashioned anesthetic of the lounge area). Drinks and food are decently priced but of course there's nothing wrong with eating/drinking beforehand. Restrooms were big and clean. Lots of employees all over to help you with whatever you need and enjoy the show (no flash photography fyi). Our seats were in the Orchestra Section, Row T, Seats 2 & 4. Not going to lie - I was a little worried about the seats since we haven't been here before, but they turned out to be perfect! Great view of the entire stage! Only slight downside is that since they were aisle seats, we had to keep getting up to let people in/out (but it's better than being stuck in the middle!). We had a blast at The Orpheum! The view/sound was on point, the building itself was a marvel to explore, and parking was easy peasy to exit. If you get a chance to see a show here, don't miss out!

Old school since 1926. I haven't been inside this theatre in years. Back in the 70's we used to see karate movies at these old theatres along Broadway. This time around we were here to see Get The Led Out which is a Led Zeppelin tribute band. The restored interior is amazing and a great place to watch a concert.

Came to see my hubby's fave podcaster Ashley Flowers do her first live tour of her true crime show!! Very enjoyable experience overall - I'd say definitely 5 stars for the show we saw and 3 stars for the theater/venue experience itself for a total of 4 stars. The show was just awesome!! We had a great time and even got to see her famous, sweet dog Chuck for a brief moment. The theater is historic and full of opulence and grandeur - absolutely beautiful!! We had fun just walking in and exploring a bit, taking photos etc before getting settled. Now for the theater experience... The show start time was 8pm with doors opening at 7pm. We arrived at 645pm and the LINE WAS INSANE! Believe me when I say it wrapped around ENTIRE BLOCK! That being said - we were in the door within 15 minutes so it moved at a rapid clip. However, the surrounding area is definitely a tad sketchy and we were approached and just a tad bothered by certain individuals on the street. So be aware and prepared - it's DTLA and a 5 min walk away from skid row. They do offer food - both in their "restaurant" downstairs and a bar style counter upstairs by the mezzanine entrance. The restaurant serves hot food and it looked and smelled great - but the line was insanely long. If we had tried to get food we would've missed part of the show. So I'd recommend either eating before you come or coming early enough to get at the front of all the lines. The bar style counter upstairs serves alcohol and other drinks as well as snacks like popcorn, chips and candy. Prices for bottles of water and all the snacks are $4 each - definitely inflated prices but not insane like one might expect. They have numerous staff around to guide you to your seat and answer questions. All were very friendly and helpful - at the bar too. We had seats in the Mezzanine B row off to the right and our views were wonderful - totally unobstructed and at a great angle although they seemed a tad far away but I'd sit there again. I'm short at 5'2" so I had plenty of leg room and the seats are comfy - no issues of discomfort during the 2 hour show. My biggest issue of the night - they have private opera boxes off to the right and left of the mezzanine seats. The ones closest to us seemed to have been used throughout the night by staff to catch moments of the show - no big deal - but a handful of these staff were drinking heavily, being extremely loud and unruly - and you could even hear them yelling and screaming off to the sides of the seats. Totally interrupted the show multiple times. The theater itself has no parking but there are numerous paid lots in the surrounding area and a couple directly behind the theater. We didn't want to risk it bc the lots are open air and unguarded and the area is very sketchy. So we got Uber to and from the show. And by the time we got there, all the lots were absolutely packed anyway. So overall I enjoyed our experience and would return for another show but probably arrive much earlier to get a better spot in line etc.

Excellent place, good experience no parking available. Buena experiencia en general

A Westside Story Burlesque Show, a one day free event  on 2023-2-10 was showcased at the Orpheum Theater, one of many palatial theatres along Broadway in L.A.'s Historical Downtown, built in 1925 as a vaudeville entertainment space that has hosted luminaries such as Lena Horn, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Judy Garland, Jack Benny, Little Richard, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, etc.  A Westside Story Burlesque Show was certainly an updated 21st century version where dance and music is totally emphasized over vocalization and dialogue since the story based on Romeo & Juliet is so well known. Very good dancing, that shows plenty of toned bodies, is a mix of modern dance and ballet.   Since burlesque is based on the suggestive and erotIc, the dancers perform their antics with male-male, female-female, male-female pairings and pas de deux. Safe sex is touted in some of the lyrics in recognition that the aids virus and STD are ever evolving to resist medication. The troupe is young, vivacious, multiethinic, multisexual reflecting the multifaceted environment that is Los Angeles.    The Orpheum Theater is a tribute to the great architectural, grandiose, entertainment palaces of the early 20th century that will never be built anymore.  Hopefully, Los Angeles realizes its past mistakes and keeps its historical downtown core intact.  4 stars

My fiancé and I went here for the "Netflix Is a Joke" experience, and we had an amazing time! We parked right behind the Orpheum and had a quick walk to the front. We already had tickets so check in was a breeze. Upon entering you are immediately immersed in the grandeur of the architecture. Hugh ceilings, ornate chandeliers and gold everywhere! Restrooms were easily accessible and even though we had to take the stairs to get to our seats, it wasn't all that tiring. Our seats were up on the balcony but we still had a great view of the comedians who graced the stage. We enjoyed our experience and hope to come back again!

BEWARE!!!!!! This is a beautiful historic theater, the show and sound was great. Unfortunately I will NEVER come back. There was limited public parking (paid $30 for parking) with no security. I was afraid to leave my new car and literally scared to death walking to the theater. The area was horribly filthy with trash, tents, homeless people and drug addicts begging for money every where you turned. No security anywhere around. After the show I get back to my car and find it had been broken into. They broke a side window and and took maybe $2 in some change. This was a hard lesson learned. I should have went with my gut feeling and just left this venue. I would have been money ahead and not have had to go through all of that. You have been warned by me. There are many more safer venues than this.

The Orpheum Theatre is located in the heart of historic DTLA. It's a historic a theatre meaning there's no parking but if you look on The Orpheum website, the surrounding parking availability is listed. The walk to the building felt safe but keep in mind it is DTLA so keeping aware of surroundings is always a good idea. When entering the building, patrons go through a metal detector and a bag check. The easiest way to check in was via electronic ticket which was quick and easy. The lobby area housed the merchandise for the show I attended. Again, the Orpheum was built in early 1900's and as such it is compact yet grand at the same time. There is also a large bar on this floor. If looking for a more low key ambiance, the bottom floor has a small, traditional but lovely bar, extensive bathrooms that are very clean and modern, and a beautiful dark paneled lounge type area. The bottom floor really called to my history major senses with the vintage furniture and comfortable seating. There is also a snack area that sells popcorn in a cute box. Again, the theater being built before ADA, it's all stairs but there is an elevator for the disabled. The seating itself goes in line with the time period it was built. I'm 5'2 and there was no leg room. Also, to get to most seats, there are stairs. I'm very clumsy, and there was no railing leading to my seat. I am very grateful to the usher who assisted me. What a hardworking gentleman. This man had to take my hand and lead me to my seat. It was dark, I felt I might fall and this human basically saved my life by going the extra mile at amazing customer service. I got to my seat safely but I would recommend getting to your seat when the house lights are on. The acoustics of this place were astounding. I was in the balcony area and the sound was crisp and clear. It was a beautiful show. Again, being an older theater, it was humid. If you visit during summertime, I'd recommend wearing something very light. I had on bracelets and a necklace. I had to take them off because it felt like moisture was building. There is no coat check available. There is very little space between you and the next person. Every time someone from my row came or went, we had to stand up to allow them access. It's one of those situations where being extremely considerate of those around you is required. The seating is not friendly toward the tall or bigger butted person's. This is the reality of an older building. There were so many thing to appreciate about The Orpheum. Marble staircases. Intricate hand painted ceilings, hand carved balusters, grand chandeliers, gorgeous railings, historic light sconces, it's lovely. And I love that it is being preserved yet utilized. Hoping people respect the history of the place for generations to come to enjoy. Overall, it was a very organized concert experience. I'd absolutely go back again.

It's a beautiful venue. It's definitely worth going for absolutely any event. I like that the staff seems to know they're in a special venue. They really care about making sure patrons have a pleasant visit, and they care about keeping the venue nice. I do wish they'd step up their bar game. All they had were well drinks and beer. It would be nice if each even at least had a couple of signature cocktails. Given the vintage vibe, I think offering an old-fashioned and maybe a French 75 or Bees Knees? The seats are fine in general, but I sat in the side balcony, one seat in from the aisle and I noticed that every single person sitting one seat in from the aisle on the sides had to continually adjust because the head of the person in the aisle seat in front of them was always blocking center stage, so keep that in mind when choosing your seats.

Please don't throw anymore concerts with LA3C - their lack of professionalism last night was straight out of a horror movie. How can the show producers, box office, security and ushers all not be on the same page with an event this size? each and every one of those departments had a different system and different answer to every question we asked. The lady from Allied security was sick and tried to pick a fight. Instead of saying she worked with LA3C - She said she worked for Orpheum theater so now you can have a star for hiring this company Allied Security who totally abused their authority and your guest. They were overly aggressive, rude and violent. Making threats and ruining everyone's good time facing the crowd with dirty looks at a positive concert for black youth.. Standing in the middle of the aisle in complete hypocrisy violently ripping tickets out of peoples hands. And threatening to kick people out for doing absolutely what they were told by other LA3c crew members upon arrival. Booo - get it together and fix your dirty souls.

Beautiful Theatre Came here with a friend to catch a favorite groups of ours. We managed to get parking right next to it which was nice, and the lot was quite popular as well, so we didn't feel unsafe. (also VERY well lit) The theatre itself was great, very smooth and easy arrival inside. I really enjoy how they have kept it the look and feel of something from many moons ago. I could look at it, and be happy even without a concert. The sound quality seemed great and seats were good. They have people that will come around and ask if you need anything. Concessions are OK, high priced which is nothing too shocking. The theatre is also close to a eateries. I would for sure come back here again

So the Iggy Pop and the Losers show was I believe the first time I've been here. Sat in the balcony. Not a bad seat in the house. Sound is great. Bartenders are friendly, and I have to say that the liquor prices were surprisingly fair for a concert venue nowadays. They put two 12 oz. cans of craft beer in a large plastic cup for $13 and will give you a double shot for $5 more. So, I recommend it as a place for a show. One recommendation regarding parking. I bought a block and a half away for $17 bucks off Park Whiz, but when I got there found there are lots closer that don't have advance purchase that are only $10.

This place reminds me of old school theaters. Very beautiful venue . I will look for more reasons to go.

Felipe Esparza wassup fool!! Plenty of parking. Lol not sure how safe to walk the Block but there's so many people. The night life is in full effect. Parking was $20, we did have to cross the street about a 3-5 minute walk. The staff was present and helpful. We used the old-school elevator. I was way too excited. The restroom were clean. Our seats were good. I had no problem hearing and I'm hard of hearing. Lol The seats to the side balcony look really nice. I had never been here. I appreciate the old-school vibe. As you walk out shots and hotdogs being sold!! Score!! A poppin bar next door. It was cool no complaints. I enjoyed our show and Felipe was hilarious as always.

The Orpheum Theatre is a historical theatre you have to experience for yourselves when you get the chance to go during one of their shows. For my wife and me, it was for an Emo Orchestra concert featuring Escape the Fate. This theatre architecturally is one of the most characteristic and spacious theaters I've been to. There's a basement lounging area that you can relax in until the concert starts, or you can go to the spacious bar club area for snacks and drinks. Anywhere you sit for the show, you can still feel close to the stage, but definitely you cannot go wrong with sitting orchestra seating. The seats may be a little tight for tall people, so balcony seating may be a good alternative. The seats have cup holders too! Sound traveled clearly through the theater, and I enjoyed every minute of the show. Parking is available near the theater; if you're lucky, you can get parking for $10 or possibly less, but you'll have to look for it as there's really no designated Orpheum Theatre parking lot.

Came to see Spooked live show and it was so good! Got to hear some spooky stories and checked out this haunted cool theater! Definitely coming back! It's a beautiful place! The concession stand/bar is pretty neat! they had tasty popcorn and drinks! LA-ist had a booth and they gave us free stuff! I love spooked podcast and this was a treat! Seeing it live is a whole different vibe! Spooky storytelling during spooky season is a must! Felt like it was reading rainbow for adults! Loved it!

Wow, I'm impressed with such a beautiful renovation and how clean the facility is! Went to see Natalia Jimenez last night she was AMAZING, and the sound inside the theater was great. I made it a point to talk to a couple of the employees. All three people I talked to were very happy to talk, be helpful, and told me how happy they are working in such a beautiful building.

This is a cool spot. I really dig the layout. This was my first time here. As soon as I heard tickets went on sale in New York for New Jack City Live I wasn't sure what coast I was on so I was just gonna buy tickets and hope for the best lol. Quick story time: Wifey tried to surprise me for my birthday with tickets. I'm working on something one day and print out a contract and I find the receipt for the tickets. :-)

The Orpheum is just another one of those jaw-dropping, incredibly beautiful, amazing historic theaters in downtown LA. If you get the opportunity, GO. This theater, like the other historic ones, is only open for special events: films and concerts, mostly. It doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, it's spectacular. It also has a real working Wurlitzer organ (a "Mighty" Wurlitzer, to be specific) that will blow you away, if you get the chance to hear it. Make sure you visit the lower level because there's more to see than just the restrooms. Back in the day, they built underground and used the extra space wisely. There's also a nice spacious bar/dining area with typical high prices. I didn't partake this time. Again, the opportunity to visit these theaters is rare. If you get the chance, and you appreciate fine things, do it.

Absolutely beautiful theatre. Truly unbelievable sound during singing performances. We saw New Jack City Live. The ushers could monitor late-comers better. There was too much walking and cellphone use after the show started, a lot of disturbances.

Pretty venue! I'm not that knowledgeable in design, but it was giving "old Victorian" inside the venue. Wide enough to walk around comfortably. I went for a concert, and I can't complain about the audio quality. It was fine for me, being on the balcony with my earplugs. Parking can be a bit of a struggle if you don't want to pay more than $15 for parking. There's metered street parking more than a block away, if you don't mind walking. TIP: The box office is also open right before the show, so if the concert you want to see is NOT sold out, and you don't want to buy your tickets from Ticketmaster because of the fees, the box office fee was $4 flat, and I got a printed ticket (nice souvenir)!

Beautiful theatre went there to see "Westside Story Burlesque" show. The Theatre is a great venue to visit as they are in a nice old Bozart building with great structure and nice history to learn from this particular theatre. Definitely a great place to visit

The space is gorgeous. It's had extensive renovations done in recent years and you can tell. We came last night for a true crime podcast show. Show was supposed to start at 7 but they didn't let people in until 7:20 or so, then the seats were closed with ropes until 7:30 or later. Show didn't start until 8:15. Not sure if it's the podcast host or the venue at fault but that was annoying. We didn't have drinks or food but saw folks with popcorn, candy, wine, beer etc, the seats were comfortable but small. At 6 ft 2, my knees were cramped and by the end of the show at 10:15, I was feeling it. Staff were friendly and helpful in showing people to their seats, answering questions etc. I do wish they'd walk through a few times to get people off their bright phones during the show. If there's another show here, I'd come back.

Let's address the obvious. It's a beautiful theatre - I came many years ago when DTLA was in the beginnings of revitalizing the area and appreciate how far my hometown has come. Now for the details for the average rating. For the price of tickets to a show, there are certain basic expectations for being able to enjoy it, such as hearing what is going on the stage. I'm disappointed that the audio system and speaker (was there only one or two portables on stage?) were inaudible in the balcony area. So while lovely to see the stage, if you can't hear a thing the people say, then what? Invest in some speakers for the other half of the theater. What a waste.

Caught Tori Amos at this 1920s theater... Sat balcony and the view was amazing! The sound was great! This theater is absolutely beautiful!!! Small bar with few snacks and drinks. Make sure to eat before you come... Read that theater is hunted... just saying!

It's a cool place, as I have been before all this pandemic panic But As a paying customer with questions about how I was able to purchase tickets WAY BEFORE 11/4 (LA mandate for vaccines) I decided to call and ask. I was rudely not greeted by TINA who answered the phone an proceeded to talk over me and tell me she couldn't hear me. I adjusted my mask which I have to wear, and decided to project my voice now possibly disturbing all those near me so she could hear. Before I could even ask how I was able to purchase and what should I do about tickets to an upcoming event next weekend - she continued in her sentence of telling me go back to wherever I purchased tickets for a refund ! I was shocked and very disappointed in her lack of customer service. How can you work in this field and have no tact or patience with those who spend their hard earned money to support your place of service !??? Our conversation was not even a whole minute long nor did she ask if I had any other questions!

I came her to see Natalia Jimenez's sold out show. I don't remember if this was one of the theaters that I would frequent back in the 80's to watch movies...Yes they would show movies in the theaters on Broadway. Anyway the theater is Beautiful and the concert was great. But the prices that they charged for food, water and drinks is insane. I bought two waters(16 ounce)and two bags of doritos for $19. If I ever go back, i'll eat and drink before or after.

I love attending events here. The ambiance is stellar and you can immerse yourself into the production you are attending. Always a special treat.

Located in the heart of Los Angeles. Great place to see any artist. Theatre gives you intimate vibes. I love the old architecture of this place. Drinks are priced right. One of my go to venues when seeking a fun night out!

I really enjoyed this theater. Parking was easy; food was delicious and not too pricey, and the stage was easy to see.

Nice and intimate theater. It was an event where I had to put away my phone for the first time because they were recording. I liked the snack shop and the bar area. It was very busy so I didn't get a drink. They need a few more small bars to get yo everyone. Parking was a block away but safe. I just looked up parking for the theatre and a bunch of spots came up. The area around the theater is a lot safer than I thought. I would recommend you pay for parking before you get there. I saved some money.

Very nice beautiful place all seats are god easy secure parking. Reasonable price s Bruce Dickinson was great here! Sound is great!

Stunningly beautiful theatre. The acoustics were great, staff were friendly and professional. But... the seats. Blew. Ass. If I had a hacksaw with me I would have cut off the damn cupholder in front of me that forced me to sit at a painfully awkward angle, digging into the side of my knee, throughout a 3-1/2 hour concert. It was like going on a luxury cruise but being stuck in seats stolen from a 737 economy class.

Went to see Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp a few weeks ago, awesome show. 1st time visiting Orpheum & hope to get to see another show there. Very cool historic venue in the heart of dt LA. If you get there early enough you can find easy parking in the back. Highly recommend!

So many of the theaters on Broadway are sitting barely used or repurposed it is so nice to see the Orpheum, which was actually built as a live performance venue still being used for that purpose. Really is a great place to see a show. They have been able to add a modern sound system with minimal impact to the architecture of the theater. The seating is good sightlines to the stage are good even from the balcony. They have a great lounge area on the lobby floor as well as the original lounge downstairs. Parking is easy with two big lots right behind the theater. Staff was friendly and service at the bars was quick. Don't pass up a chance to see a show here.

This theatre is like a museum. It's co beautiful inside. They have a full bar and pictures on the wall of the famous artists. You can bring your alcohol to your seat while you watch the show. The seats were comfortable. If you arrive early, they have their parking lot and pay way less than the other parking spot.
