Saw NEED TO BREATH at this beautiful theater. It really was quite a perfect venue! Seemed like a mini version of the Orpheum in the twin cities. Same classical old feel, but still very clean and beautiful. Would definitely like to see another show here!

I caught Elvis Costello and the Imposters on his 2019 tour. Sat in the balcony which afforded excellent views of the stage and prices precise acoustics. Lovely old theater for shows!

Seeing the Punch Brothers here was such a treat! Great acoustics and visuals even from the balcony. I would love to come back here for another concert as it’s close enough to where I live but is still a good enough venue to travel for.The seating up in the balcony is a little type so if you think you’d need a little more room I would suggest the lower level where they tend to setup folding chairs.

Its a beautiful theater! Parking was near by and located in a good area. They do serve beverages and snacks! I really enjoyed my time here! Worth the trip to see a good band (Snarky Puppy)!

The historic Orpheum Theater is a great place to catch a show or concert. It is an older building but that is part of its charm.The seats are small and a bit tight if you are a taller person. The upper level in some spots does not have the best sight lines. Would recommend center view seats if you sit up in those sections. Sound system is good. Staff is very friendly and helpful.Plenty of vendor stations around to grab a drink. Great selection of brews and wine to choose from. It can be a little crowded entering and leaving the building so be patient. If you have not seen a show at The Orpheum I would recommend doing so at least one time.

Maybe one of the best medium size venues to see a show. Great concert, amazing sound, beautiful auditorium. Only negative is that the seats are made for very small people, a 62 guy ends up pretty cramped.

This place was gorgeous. Saw Purity Ring live here in 2017, they were awesome. Good stage presence and very weird (in a good way). Had a wonderful time. Heavily recommend this place if someone you like plays here. The venue had a lovely atmosphere. I liked the view, was almost majestic. The sound system was remarkable. Cute town, also.

Great concert venue! Saw Joe Bonamassa tonight!

Seen a lot of shows here; comedy, music, even blippi live. Orpheum is a classic Madison venue staff is great, drinks and food are pricey but on par with every theater. Overall Ive never seen a bad show at the orpheum

Not aging well...the seats need to be replaced. At 61 225 lbs I literally dont fit into the seats...makes it hard to enjoy anything. Vending is inadequate--expect long waits. Definitely plan ahead for parking. Lots of other venues to pick from that would be better.

Great Venue. Perfect fuchsia. Able to see and enjoy from any seat.

Lines were long going into the Theater. We sat on the 3rd row and where squished into our neighbors space. The chairs where folding chairs and very narrow and hard and quite frankly small. There were not enough workers to direct people to their seats. The consessions were right in the middle of where the crowd needed to walk through to get to their seats. We enjoyed the comedy show. Just so glad it wasnt any longer as it was uncomfortable. They do have regular theater seating. Id opt to sit further back to be comfortable.

This was my first time going to the Orpheum. Pretty much what i expected older building with limited restrooms and cramped area. Very happy with the security of the event and cant wait to see my next show their in a few weeks. Both shows were great butt serving hot chocolate in a plastic cup was not very smart.

Beautiful old building with many hallways and staircases. Was there for a concert. Good accoustics and lighting effects. The hall was bigger than I expected.

One of the better venues in the Madison area... It has an old school theatre feel to it... The floor area is large... And there is a bar on either side

Attended a concert. Amazing sound system, and lighting. The entire place was beautiful, and clean. Great view of the stage no matter where you sit.

Very old building, seats had gum on them. For the price of the tics, I expected more however, a good time was had by all.

Great view of the stage! Easy parking and the show was terrific.

A beautifully classic theatre in the heart of Madison. Its an original gem where magic happens.

Saw Dirty Heads on Nov 18 2017...even being in a balcony I felt close to the stage and the sound quality was excellent. The Orpheum is now home to my favorite concert of all time!

Awesome place to see some amazing bands , beautiful theatre!! Its a seated venue unless the concert is strictly general admission. Ive seen In This Moment and The Devil Makes Three here.

Great, clean older but updated theatre located right downtown.

Only complaint is that if you pay top dollar for seats close to the stage you get these tiny chairs that are placed too close together. Lucky if your neighbors are willing to scootch to the side.Otherwise, lovely and fun.

Old theater. Front seats were just padded folding chairs. Plenty of room though.

Renovated classic theater. Great venue for music concerts

Saw Lil Wayne here, long bar lines but over all great experience!

Amazing facility!! Totally impressed by each experience I have had. We’ve sat in the nose bleeds, on the floor, and in box seats and never had a bad view. The sound has been bad on one occasion of three but I’m not sure if that was an issue of sound of annunciation. We’ve been to plays, musicals, and orchestra performances and always had a great time.

Classic old theater, great place to see a concert!

Beautiful theater. Great show!

Very cool place. Its an old venue but it gives character to place.

Very cool venue for seeing a show.

What a great landmark theater. Highly recommend

Loved seeing a show here. Seats were decently comfortable to sit in for several hours watching a comedian. Good views throughout the auditorium. Balcony seemed to have good sight to the stage throughout the show. Overall a really great experience, I hope to come back and see another show soon!

Really nice venue, with not as much standing room as other major halls in Milwaukee, but can accommodate a wide variety of shows. Its in a popular and nice part of Madison, parking is accessible and theres lots to do around town if youre stuck in line for a long time.

Beautiful old theater, and a great place to catch a show. Plus, its on State Street, so there is usually plenty to do before and after the show... especially if you like drinking.

Nice theater. Good sound. Great view from anywhere. Nice staff.

Great experience @ cancer benefit. The place has plenty of magic.

Ive always had a great time here. From stand up to love music.

Its a great local venue that Ive been seeing comedians to concerts to movies at since I was a kid. Historic Madison landmark.

They always have some great shows. The drink prices are on par with downtown and less expensive than the Comedy Club. My biggest gripe is that the seating hasnt been updated since people were 5 ft tall and 90 pounds. Its always so cramped.

Tight seating but good atmosphere

I have attended very many concerts here and Ive never been disappointed

An iconic theatre with a place to grab a drink in any direction at any time.

Great venue but sometimes the acoustics are a little lacking.

This place is Beautiful and awesome for a concert Kaleo and Zz Ward were spectacular to see here!!!

Great venue, helpful staff. Very nice concert experience.

Joe bonomasso ! ! !

I love the Orpheum. Its a great venue, but things seemed a bit unorganized tonight (9/13, Nick Offerman)

Is an older building with a lot of character. Not many womens toilets.

Beautiful theatre in the heart of Madison WI. Always enjoyable to attend the events and shows here.

Very nice place to watch a concert

Beautiful, historic theatre that is great for concerts.

Not bad. Drinks are expensive but it is a concert venue so that is to be expected.

Fantastic place to see a show, intimate setting and the sound is great...

Great venue. Clean, balcony seats were great. Parking close by. Going back again for another show there.

Saw Chris DeLia there - awesome seating, great sound system. Spacious balcony with a great view & the beer is not too expensive.

Nice venue. Beautiful old place. Was a little bit hot in the balcony, but thats better than being cold here in Wisconsin.

Great experience from front row of the balcony!!

Historic facility. Not quite as well preserved as the Meyer In Green Bay but twice asz big.

Amazingly setup location! Parking not very far from here, beautiful building.Security was nice for an Evanescence concert. Easy to figure out layout and seating was acceptable.Lots of restaurants around if you wanted to eat before heading in. Clean location. Bathrooms could use a touch up, but for the amount of traffic they get, theyre quite acceptable.Beautiful indoors area, and vibe.

Beautiful venue. Every seat is a good seat.

Historic vintage building with very good acoustic environment. Restrooms are in bad shape.

First time here to see a show. Very nice venue. Seems most any seat is good. Intimate meeting.

We loved the needtobreathe concert. It was nice and cozy little theater. Parking was convenient for downtown Madison.

Not a bad seat, David Cross is the man!

Beautiful venue. Multiple bars. Good views of stage most anywhere. Seats not comfortable in gold circle, but still awesome. Nice friendly staff.

Classic Madison Theater, glad its still around. Even the nosebleeds arent awful (photo is from very last row).

The sightlines and lighting have been pretty good. The sound has always been mediocre at best. The seating is crazy uncomfortable. Unless youre 5 feet tall, your knees will push into the seats in front of you. Bathrooms are tiny and inefficient.

A beautiful old theater. One of Madisons treasures.

Its a very limited menu, only four entree items. What Ive had was good. The portion sizes are a little small for the prices.The service was good both times that Ive been there. Its a weird old little building. The location of the restroom is not at all obvious, and requires that you go being the counter, which is a little uncomfortable, especially if nobody working there is available to ask.Its cash and check only. There is a sign inside that says that. It would be nice if that were on the door.

Saw Marilyn Manson in concert here in February 2018. Did meet & greet. The staff was well organized, & the theater is absolutely beautiful. I was very impressed. Would definitely attend a show here again!

Beautiful restored Orpheum.Reminds me of all the other Orpheums I visited, Memphis, Chicago, etc.PERFECT SOUND!Todd Rundgren show where I bumped into Tricky Ricky Nielson of Cheap Trick, who also digs the hermit of mink hollow.

We went to a concert which was great. Most of original seats were gone. We had to sit on very uncomfortable folding chairs. We did enjoy everything else about the theater.

Great evening of comedy and meaningful conversation with Chelsea Handler in a classic and intimate theater setting.

Went to see Get the Led Out band. excellent! Our reserved seats were folding chairs up front in the middle. $9 24 oz.. domestic beers plus other choices.

Great venue, lots of cool artists play here. Saw NF here and it was a fantastic show. Definitely check out the website for shows.

Good sound, beautiful theatre.

Great place to see a show. Seats, especially in the orchestra pit are a bit cramped, and there could be better logistics getting people into shows. (People lining up at the bar made it difficult to get into the theater.) Pro tip: go to one of the the bars inside the theater. No lines.All in all, a very good venue.

This is a decent venue which brings in some big names. They sell tickets at the front door ahead of time, so you can avoid the pricey service fees of online ticket sales. The seats are comfortable and I dont think there are any seats with obstructed view.

Came here for the first time on 2/17 for Joe Russos almost dead show. The venue is vintage and intimate (which I LOVE). The staff I interacted with were really cool and the venue had plenty of paramedics on hand, which helps when fellow attendees have had a little too much too fast. Also, there is a snack bar, which I think is brilliant. Thanks for a great night. Will return.

Big names at a classy more intimate venue. Love it!

Great venue for a concert. Security said the shoe was sold out but there was plenty of open seating very close to stage. Sound and lighting was great!

Beautiful historical building. Somewhat too small of a building for the high level of sound bands wish to produce. At one break, the man in back of me commented that he believed his ears were bleeding :) Easy entrance and exit, safe and well lit parking nearby, nice and helpful staff at venue. I would visit again as the price is affordable. Give them a try.

This is such a cozy, personal venue that every seat (or practically every seat) is a good one. Awesome time!

Saw snoop dogg here! amazing!!!

Nice view in any sitting but not enough room for elbow and shoulders cz the theater chair is on a smaller side.

Delightful old theater restored to its former grandure.

This is the go to theatre for Broadway shows. Acoustics sometimes spotty depending where you are sitting.

The room that we were in was very small and the seating was very tight, even for petite people. I felt like I was hugging my neighbor, but it was nice that they had good acoustics.

It was a good venue for Walk off the Earth. They rocked it. It appeared to be original style with chandeliers. It was cozy and very crowded. Seats were very close together so if you are over 6 foot you will be uncomfortable. The sound was great.

I was stoked to see one of my favorite comedians at this venue. Unfortunately I would never go here again because the seating is so incredibly uncomfortable. The seats are tiny, even for an oompa loompa, and are undescribably uncomfortable. I wasnt able to focus on the show or the comedy. The seating makes everything unwatchable.

This is such a great venue and I love my experience every time I go.

Great atmosphere! Clean building and easy to navigate.

We saw Three Dog Night. It was awesome but the theater does need some serious work!

Saw one of my favorite bands! Love the smaller theater setting, sound was great, staff was helpful.

Great place for a show, great sound and not really a bad seat in the place.

Awesome music venue! Been a while since Ive been there. Hopefully more bands i enjoy come here! More Hard Rock please!!!!

This venue is always a fun place to go. Downtown Madison on State, historic, the lights at night are pretty.

Old downtown establishment, right in the heart of Mad Town

Always great customer service! Always clean and respectful!
