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!
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
