Its just a beautiful theatre. I wish there were more elbow room but thats part of history. I can image the past when I see the balconies.

A treasure of Galesburgs past that can still be enjoyed today. I used to go see movies there as a kid and since the restoration several years ago have seen many concerts/live music shows. So glad it was saved a beautiful and historic piece of the past.

We watched a movie there,a rare event for them, screen and sound were below par,they do serve alcohol. A historic theatre, I believe the Marx brothers played there, very random events parking is free,quite a few restaurants within walking distance.

The building is in need of some internal renovations. I think its important to preserve places of historical importance. I was directed to sit in the upper balcony. I did, but it was challenging to ascend the staircase with disability. On a final note, the acoustics were quite admirable. ♡

For full disclosure, I volunteer at the Orpheum. The Orpheum is a beautiful theatre steeped in history. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. I have attended many different events and enjoyed the experience.

Beautiful, restored old theatre. Good acoustics, multiple balconies at the rear and sides of the theatre.We attended a special movie presentation, followed by a speech by the writer/producer, with an almost full house. We arrived late and had to sit in the back row of the uppermost balcony--- we had no problem seeing or hearing, and the seats were comfortable.

I grew up watching movies in this historic theater... So I love the memories, the nostalgia. But, the seats get an F in comfort. WAYYYYY to confining, and leave your legs at home, the rows are that close together. (And Im short!)

Very nostalgic with a lot of history. They do free movies every Thursday in the summer. The popcorn is great too. I wish they had little better drink selection, but they do sell some cheap wine and beer sometimes too I think?

The Orpheum is very nice. Was there for movie and it was good. The only negative I can think of is that the seats are small, not much leg room for tall people. Otherwise,it was a positive experience.

I presented a workshop there and the venue is absolutely beautiful. Its a well-kept theater with a fantastic, friendly staff. I would recommend going to any of the shows there to experience the atmosphere, or even booking shows. They allow groups to use the theater.It really was a great experience. Kevin and Ross were great to work with. I look forward to our next presentation in May.
