I was just at the Orpheum last night to watch Lenny Kravitz rock it good. It was a great show. I was a little apprehensive with some of the reviews I have read.

This place has style. Some of the seats were 1/2 broken, but mine was good and comfey. Sound quality was good. Small enough so you can see the stage good from anywhere. Would definately go there again. If you need to stay in the area Club Quarters is a bargin. more

I just saw Clay Aiken at the Orpheum theater in Boston. Clay was beyond fantastic as usual. I have been to the Wang and the Colonial for shows and I WAS EXPECTING THE ORPHEUM TO BE THE SAME.

this is such a beautiful venue! it is tucked away and not really visible unless you're standing right in front of it... this is an awesome place to see bands. It is similar to symphony hall in the way it was made. the acoustics are great! more
