Editorial Review for Orpheum Theatre – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
It began as the Music Hall in 1852 and served as the original home of the New England Conservatory (Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto debuted here, as did the BSO). Now, fans come to see modern acts that have grown too popular for the city's clubs. Overshadowed by the Suffolk Law School Building, the grand old lady appears a bit dated, but despite its tattered appearance (and so-so acoustics), all seats are filled for most shows.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Looking to tie one on? Better have a few before the show, as the theater doesn't allow drinks in the seating areas--if you want a beer, you'll have to huddle in the lobby and miss the show.

This is my fav. place, it is old and it has this haze. The seats were one sonft and class, now they have a worn in coolness. The painting are falling off, but it just adds character. The haze doesnt smell, it is just there. Great place, must go.

Pros: inexpensive, good location, old school
