Orpheum Theatre Memphis is a historic theatre in downtown Memphis, distinguished by the lavish architecture of a late-1920s movie and performance palace. Crystal chandeliers, gold-leaf accents and richly decorated ceilings give the venue its unmistakable classical character, while the auditorium accommodates around 2,300 guests for major Broadway productions, concerts, comedy shows and other live performances.
Inside, the theatre combines its historic atmosphere with modern production facilities. A large stage and contemporary sound system support technically demanding performances, while the auditorium retains much of the decorative grandeur that has defined the venue for generations. One of its most distinctive features is the restored Mighty Wurlitzer, a rare historic theatre organ that remains in its original building.
The theatre is located at 203 S Main St, Memphis, United States, near the intersection of South Main and Beale Street in downtown Memphis. Visitors arriving by car can use public parking lots and garages close to the venue, including the Downtown Mobility Center and MLGW garages, with only a short walk required to reach the entrance.
