If you want to see a live performance, this place is excellent! Stylish in the old school way, classy and inviting, it serves the purpose well.Parking is a bit of a dance, but if you like the act you're to see, you'll hike.Seating is great. Hard to get a bad seat. Pricing has been, so far, reasonable. They advertise by email, so it's convenient to me. No need to even hit the website. Draws me in.It even smells good.The cocktails and wines are merely adequate. If you need fancier, there are good joints nearby.Must return!

We love the Orpheum so much. Absolute treasure for top flight performances. It has an old world opulence that must be experienced, one that'll make you feel like you walked in with the turn of the century on one side and a crisp martini on the other. It's that lived in kind of elegant. Old money. And the shows, my goodness the shows. What the Orpheum does with Broadway (thanks O-PA!) will blow your mind and stir your soul. We've seen so many great ones here - Hamilton and Hadestown, Funny Girl and Fiddler - each as first rate as the last. And concerts too! One of our most treasured memories is the night here when we saw Jackson Browne. We've even seen our son perform on the stage, a moment we'll all remember with pride and joy. Point being, you live memories here. It's an experience. It's a vibe. It's so uniquely Omaha. If you haven't been to a performance here yet, take a chance and fall in love.

A lovely vaudevillian legacy venue for shows. Originally built in the late 1890s and renovated and expanded in the 1920s to the three level auditorium that exist today. Given the facilities configuration might be a little tough for folks with longer legs so select seating carefully if needed! Limited street parking and multiple parking garages in immediate area are available for facility access. Bars and snack stands are available throughout the theater as are restroom facilities. Elevators can accommodate anyone that may need help navigating the multiple stairs to get to the upper levels. Located within blocks of the old market and multiple bars and restaurants makes for a great evening with a dinner and a show. The building interiors are truly vintage. Highly recommend trying to catch a show at this location.

This was my first time going to the Orpheum. It was amazing and horrible at the same time. I bought tickets 2 months in advance to The Lion King for our 21st wedding anniversary. The day of the show comes and I realize five hours before that we missed the actual day and I am crushed. It was my mistake. I thought it was on Thursday, when it actually happened on Tuesday. I called the box office and reached Josh the box office manager, I am practically in tears, but he tells me the only thing you can do is to give us half price of best available tickets that night. I say OK and thank you bye-bye. By this time I feel awful and we end up just staying home. Fast forward a couple weeks later we decide to stop at the box office after church. We go in and talk to a very nice man who ends up being Josh! He not only got us amazing tickets, but also went the extra mile to give me info just in case it happens again. It was my fault and he went above and beyond when to make our night special.We were fifth row from the front. The tickets were better than the original ones we bought. We got end row seats that some of the cast had given up. It was such a great show and despite the drama we had a great time. I just want to send a big thank you to Josh at the box office. We will be back.

I have been a season ticket holder at the Orpheum ever since I moved to Omaha in 2017, and I have not regretted it one bit. Even though I moved to Denver this past year, I kept my season tickets and just travel back to Omaha whenever there is a show. As a musical theater lover, I have been to many theaters all over the U.S., and there really aren't many that come close to beating the Orpheum. The architecture inside is stunning, and it is located close to the very charming Old Market. This makes it easy for us to grab dinner or drinks nearby before a show. Parking can be difficult, yet it is still so much easier and cheaper than in larger cities like Denver. The shows themselves are also much cheaper than in other cities, making shows much more accessible to all. They also provide student rush tickets for college students. There is much more than just musicals that show at this theater - I've been to concerts, comedy shows, and plays here as well. The Orpheum will always hold a special place in my heart, and I have a hard time letting it go even though I've moved away!

Have been coming to the Orpheum for many years. Just went to see Anastasia last night and it was amazing! Every show I've gone to, the staff is so incredibly kind and helpful. You'll never get lost there's staff everywhere to help you find your seat. The building is historical and an experience in itself. If you haven't had the chance to visit the Orpheum, it's a must for Omaha! Parking isn't bad because there are garages within the block you can park at. Just keep in mind everyone is leaving at the same time and may be a bit of a wait! There is street parking, but it's a two hour limit. Bathrooms are very clean and well kept! Enjoy your theatre experience!

Came to see the Tori Amos concert and was very impressed by the theater, the sound quality was great, and the decor was BEAUTIFUL. I wish I got more pictures of everything because it is a gorgeous place, and they definitely spent a lot of money getting in that way. The ambiance was great as well, I kept hearing a chime and wondering what it was, and a staff member told me it's to announce the band is about to take the stage. Very neat place

We saw Hamilton here which is an amazing show, but the seating is horrible. The upper level seats have no angle, so the persons head in front of me blocked my entire view. I paid $175 to stare at a guys head! I would not watch a show here again.
