The Orpheum Theatre is one of downtown Phoenix’s most historic performance venues.

The Orpheum Theatre is a Valley treasure. The landmark venue at Fourth Avenue and Adams Street has been an iconic part of downtown Phoenix for nearly a century.
Built in 1929 as a vaudeville house, the Orpheum later operated as a movie palace before becoming one of Phoenix’s most elegant and storied performance venues.
Inside the 1,400-seat auditorium, a soaring proscenium frames the stage, red velvet seating fills the rows and a cloud-filled blue sky adorns the ceiling. The theater’s calendar is equally impressive, featuring events like touring concerts, stand-up comedy, dance productions, films and Phoenix Symphony performances. Every Valley resident should see at least one show at the Orpheum.
The Orpheum Theatre’s 2026-27 season will offer a variety of opportunities to do just that. Classic films like “Back to the Future” and “Labyrinth” will be screened. The Phoenix Symphony will stage evocative performances. And comedians like Ilana Glazer will take the stage. Here’s a full rundown of the Orpheum Theatre’s upcoming shows.
Art. Film. Dance. Books. Recreation. Even sex and dating. It’ll be fun, we promise.
THANK YOU!
You’re all set.
