Music Drives Us

One of the oldest theaters in USA, it was built in 1852 & originally known as the Boston Music Hall. It was converted for use as a vaudeville theater in 1900 & renamed in 1906 as The Orpheum Theater !

Patrick Pease

Great venue for shows, no bad seats in the house and it's beautiful from floor to ceiling. Beer prices are a bit crazy so have a few before you arrive!!!

Jonathan Blackburn

Acoustics are great in this Historic Theater . Great place to catch a concert .

Josh Wardell

It always gets insanely hot. Try to get seats on the bottom floor, and make sure you can remove layers of clothes

Tom O

They have 16oz cans of Narraganset, B-Light, and Heineken for $6 at the bar towards the back on the right in the lobby. Best deal on booze in the house.

Jamie Ferguson

Check their schedule early as they have a variety of acts all year round.

Ali

It’s old and rundown. And the balcony seats are specially uncomfortable. But I like it. And they have some nice events there.

Jessica Baird

If you are taller than 5'2" be careful.. There is NO leg room in the balcony . But the old feel of the theatre is awesome!

Mark Biglow

This is an older theater so the seats are fairly small with very limited leg room .

Timothy Tanner

Be prepared to stand throughout the concert . Most people are. The seating is tight. Not much elbow room. There is a concession stand in the lobby. The venue is up close and personal.

FYI...don't mess with the staff ! They've been working here since the dawn of time...and they DON'T care about your plight, show, or safety as they throw you into the back alley!

Stephanie

Nice theater , but weirdly placed bars and bathrooms make them inconvenient to get to.

Kate Myers

Anyone notice how crazy/scary the ushers are here? Even when you return to your seat you get the f-bomb dropped on you and you get interrogated...

Jessica

Sit in the middle for the best sound, lacks on the sides.

Christina

Great views even from the balcony .

Derek K

Don' even think of messing with the bouncers or staff ...they've been here since the dawn of time and don't care about your plight or show!

Laura X

Buy your tickets here for Paradise and House of Blues events instead of through Ticketmaster, theres no fees!

Jeremy Krantz

Overpriced drinks and a questionable structural integrity... Welcome to the Orpheum! Don't forget to pre-game to save big bucks

Lisa

Such a lovely old building ... Small seats though

Miss Tiffie ❤ Dee

best guy ever

Dan Roveto

the shaking balcony is frightening, but the view is awesome.

Rob S

Consider shrinking. Seats are not made for adults born after 1920.

Al S

Do unsavory things in the shadows while listening to one of your favorite bands play live. Yes, that's me.

Ryan M.

Good shows, nice acoustics , but the place is a shithole.

Kelly Hoekstra

Make sure the person in front of u doesn't have an Afro if u wanna see the show

Adam Deleo

So nostalgic

Jenna Baez

Saw Hillsong United! What a show! Next time they're in town , see them!

Matthew Grimes

The coors light tastes like laundry detergent. Lovely.

Emily Yeager

Tickets for House of Blues & the Paradise also sold here

Sara Brody

Don't set your $10 beer down on the floor. You will spill it. The isles are way too narrow and even if you're not dancing , it'll end up in a sad, sad puddle around you feet.

Sarah Brooks

Gorgeous antique feel. My first "sit down" concert .

Jackie

Drink before you get here. $12 for a 24 ounce PBR .

Bridget Gravel

The staff is miserable!!

Jeff Bredbenner

Always a good show..

fc

See a Miracle on Tremont St.

Mark Gelaides

Beer is expensive . Smuggle instead.

Chris Cebelenski

Pat metheny rocks here...

Chris Collins

Beer is WAY overpriced.

Thomas Wigg

sit next to old people and make friends

Great venue, but be wary of slow beer lines (some vendors are more efficient than others) - Blake Sirach

They have a box seating, which is very nice! You will be treated as VIP, with your own bar, toilet and butler. Not bad for the price and you have a good view of the stage. - Roma Niduaza

If you visit here during Baseball season, they have a $5 menu that is available between first and last pitch. It's a limited menu, but everything's $5 or less. Tasty, and worth every penny! - Rob Sheppard
