Orpheum Theatre   After 12 years, $14 million and an incredible amount of perseverance, the historic Orpheum Theatre has been renovated for "adaptive reuse," restoring as much of its visible splendor as possible, while retrofitting it as a modern theatre capable of handling anything Broadway sends its way. And its marquee at Second Avenue and Adams Street again announces the names of first class productions, drawing thousands of people to a vibrant downtown venue. The Orpheum is owned and operated by the City of Phoenix, Phoenix Convention Center Department. Friends of the Orpheum provide educational and restoration support through volunteer and fundraising programs. If you are interested in volunteering please call the Friends of the Orpheum at (602) 257-4300 or visit their website. For a detailed historical account of the Orpheum Theatre, use the link.

SeatingThe 1,364-seat Orpheum audience chamber--now known as the Lewis Auditorium, dedicated to Jewell and Delbert Lewis and family--has 1,062 seats on orchestra level, 302 in the balcony. The auditorium complements the larger nearby U.S. Airways Arena, Dodge Theatre and Symphony Hall, as well as the smaller stages of the Herberger Theater Center.
