Orpheum Theatre San Francisco is one of San Francisco’s most recognizable historic theatres and a major destination for Broadway productions, musicals and other large-scale stage performances. Opened in 1926 and designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca, the theatre is distinguished by an ornate façade influenced by Late Gothic and Spanish Plateresque architecture. The auditorium accommodates approximately 2,200 guests, and the building is a designated San Francisco landmark.
Inside, the venue preserves the atmosphere of a grand historic theatre, with a striking vaulted ceiling and a traditionally designed auditorium, while modern stage facilities support technically demanding productions. Seating across the Orchestra and Balcony levels creates a classic theatre experience, making the venue particularly well suited to musicals, plays and major touring productions.
The theatre is located at 1192 Market St, San Francisco, United States, immediately beside Civic Center/UN Plaza station. Station exits are positioned along Market Street, while several local transit lines stop directly in front of the theatre. Street parking is limited, but several public parking garages are available in the surrounding streets.
