Our school had the privilege to see the amazing Hamilton Musical thanks to the generosity of the Dan and Lillian King Foundation, the theater has a very special feel and is very beautiful indeed.

We saw Hamilton here, and it was an amazing experience. Really, if the play you want to see is here and you are in the bay area, you dont have much of a choice. However, this older theater has great sound, decent visibility, and beautiful ornamentation on the walls. Downsides are the seats are small and bathrooms are few and far between.

Nice theater, we saw Hamilton. Which was great. The seats were comfortable and the view was good. During intermission the bathrooms and concessions get crowded. Beer was around $12.00 per glass. Parking was close and reasonable.

Hamilton was a great play and I would watch it again if I could. The theater is very nice and clean, and is overall a great experience.

Came to see Hamilton and am blown away by the detail in this theatre. Delicate detailing covers the walls and roof, the chairs are comfortable, and the sound is excellent. I’m looking at the Playbill to see what we can come and see here next!!

This that was amazing... sat on the lower level almost all the way to the right side... Was still a great seat... Dont think theres a bad seat in the house. The theater was built in 1926 and the architecture is way cool... The craftsmanship and artistry in the building was a cool part of the experience. It was designed to look like a French cathedral. Went to see Hamilton and had a friend that took us backstage. Ive been to several theaters on Broadway in NY... and this takes the Cake for me. Quality of the product was top notch.

Seeing Hamilton here was a dream. The actors and actresses did so amazing its not even funny. No seat here is a bad seat because I got one in the back of the bottom row, and I still got the whole experience of seeing the full stage. The only thing is how expensive the tickets are (but what theatres tickets arent). I only got mine for 10 dollars because I won lottery for it. Other than that I would totally recommend.

Super venue. Great view of stage from balcony if a bit distant. Better in mezzanine. The theater ceiling and walls are almost worth the price of admission. It seems that the area around the theater was cleaner and security better than the last time I was there.

Beautiful older theatre that is well maintained. The lounge area is pleasant with pretty blue velvet sitting areas. Seats in the theatre are a bit small but were comfortable. As always, could use more womens restrooms for a public facility. Architecture is interesting and sound and sight lines are good from almost anywhere (we were in balcony). No coat check so be aware you will have limited room to deal with any outer wear.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here for “Hamilton.” The zests we’re comfortable and there’s no bad seats in this theatre. The snacks are a little pricey but for a night out it was worth it. Parking was easy and a short walk. I suggest booking your parking online just for ease. You can also take BART and get off at Civic Center. The theatre is located right above the station.

This is a beautiful historic theater and absolutely stunning on the inside. The lobby is semi small but not too bad. The bar area is a decent size and serves some decent beers and wine. If youre interested in a shirt or other memorabilia, you have to get in line ASAP because the line is forever long. Also, if you have to go to the bathroom, expect a HUGE line for both the men and womens bathrooms. Its really bad. Also, Im not sure that they have a gender neutral bathroom yet, which is odd.Another good part is that its RIGHT next to the Bart station exit, if youre into public transit. Overall I love this place, just wish the lines were shorter.

Orpheum is a cozy, old-school comfortable kind of space. It has that vintage 1920s style.The sound and lighting systems appear excellent, the only complaint one might have is that it needs more bathrooms and it can get crowded in the hallways between the shows.It is very conveniently located right off market Street with Bart, trolley and MUNI access. I would definitely not drive there if you could help it.Make sure to go to Sams diner close-by for excellent meals themed after the current show.

SHN Orpheum Theatre is GORGEOUS! If youre a fan of architecture, I highly recommend visiting the theater just to admire the details inside. I went there to see Hamilton and the show lived up to every bit of praise it received.

Watched Hamilton here. Awesome theater to visit. Bars and restrooms on each floor. They get long lines for sure, be aware. Drinks are expensive but that’s expected. Theater itself is beautiful and staff are wonderful.

Hamilton tickets for $88 on a Saturday night!It was so cold in San Francisco that I wore my pink robe over my dress. Hamilton, the show was fantastic, I got to see it again, great work! Lin-manuel Miranda

The best Broadway Show I have seen. Alexander Hamilton. This is legit. The music and choreography are out of this world. I recommend this show to everyone who read this review. Be prepared to get your mind blown.

Old, charming, historic theater with great shows and great sound. The last showI saw there was Hamilton and it was AMAZING! It really felt as if I traveled back in time. Perfect venue!

Amazingly beautiful theater and the show was amazing. Same complaints about every theater in general and San Francisco Im particular: the seats are so close together an average persons knees touch the seat in front of you and parking is horrible and expensive

Staff was able to get us to our seat promptly. The snack bars were really fast and gave us a tip about about buying water then refilling at the water fountains. The bathroom line was long, but that is pretty standard for the theater. The seats were a bit crowded but given the quality of the production, you will forger that very fast.Enjoy your show!

We got the chance to watch Hamilton! My friend always enters the tickets lottery every day, and won multiple times, so he offered me his tickets for a show. The Orpheum itself is beautiful with gorgeous details throughout the building. We sat up on the balcony and had a good view of the stage. Sound was good and clear. Enjoyed the whole show, and cant believe we were in the room where it happened!

Incredible musical-Beautiful interior-Sprint for the bathroomMy wife and I went to see Hamilton at the Orpheum and the building is incredible. If I were an architect or art scholar, I would have the vocabulary to correctly describe what this theater looks like, but as it is, I can say it’s gorgeous.We bought tickets for a reasonable price and found out we were in “Obstructed View Seats.” I realized this day of and told my wife to temper her expectations (aka, lower them). As it was, we could see most of the stage, save whatever was happening in the back right corner. It was still a wonderful experience and the view did not disturb us enough to take us out of the show.That being said, the bathrooms in the building are the true testing ground. If you are a gentleman, you need not rush unduly, but if you are lady, put on a helmet and shoulder pads. Be prepared to stiff arm an erudite theater critic because after five minutes, the line extends to city hall.Overall a wonderful experience! Enjoy the show and don’t drink a lot of water beforehand.

Saw Hamilton with my 9yr old who is obsessed with Hamilton. It was amazing! The theater was so beautiful and the staff were very friendly. Very impressive theater however if you want to use the bathroom, dont wait until intermission because youll be in line the whole time.

They had the bright idea of selling all snacks in crinkly wrappers. Kind of kills the intense drama of the play when 14 people around you are digging deep into their m&m bags. They could also handle foot traffic a lot better. Building has nice character.

This theatre is an SF “institution” and to watch Hamilton in this revered building is a treat. There are no bad seats, the acoustics superbly complement the ornate interior of the theatre that gives you a feel of a golden era of musical theatre. The Orpheum reminds me of Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre.Bring your family, friends, your date and you won’t be disappointed.

Nice theater, good restrooms and concessions stands. You can order a drink or snack ahead of time and pick it up at intermission! Comfortable seats and friendly staff.

Given its age, it is amazing that it can present modern theatrics effectively. It is clean and well-maintained. Easy to get to by public transportation, both from the city and from the surrounding Bay Area and beyond. Point taken because the seats are rock-hard and the cushions have given up on life. Intermission was a welcomed relief.

A beautiful theater no question.. The highlight for me was seeing my amazing bby sister perform in Hamilton as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds at this awesome theater.. Her name is Ashley De La Rosa keep an eye out for her shes gonna be something else.. Love u Ash

Went and saw Hamilton and there is not one bad seat. Everything about the theatre and the show and effects and music was wonderful. 1000000/10

Beautiful old theater. We saw Hamilton here and it was terrific, we won the $10 tickets through Lucky Seats. Interior is beautiful and ornate with plenty of beverage counters and easy access to the theater.

Gorgeous theater. Lines are long for everything, bars, bathrooms, concessions... if you need to use the bathroom at intermission you need to RUN as soon as lights come up or youll miss the beginning of the second act. Seats were ok. Not super comfy, but no too bad. Ticket prices to Hamilton were pretty outrageous.

Fantastic theater. Very intimate no matter where you are in the audience.

Who doesnt like the theater? The building is aged, the seats are dated, but there isnt a bad seat in the house...for goodness sakes its a landmark. But it is in a not so cool part of town, but the police station is within proximity. Public transportation is available, because parking is a..., bit challenging. Otherwise, its still one of the best theaters in a city with a lot of quirks, history, character and life.

I watched Hamilton at the Orpheum Theatre around two weeks ago and I have to say that it was one of my favorite shows. The Orpheum definitely had a part in it. The interior is beautifully decorated. The acoustics were great. The seats are properly ramped, so you have a ear view of the stage. It was a little hard for me to find my door to the seating area, but the staff were nice, friendly and helpful.

My wife and I saw Hamilton here and we had a great experience. Wonderful place to see a fantastic play!

A great venue to take in a performance! Parking can be tricky, but this venues beauty makes the struggle worth it. We saw Hamilton and were blown away. I highly recommend seeing a performance here!

This is a rating of the theatre, not the performance. Overall I loved the theatre. It was easy to get in, seated and I was comfortable throughout the performance. Even on our back stage tour I was impressed with how everything was set up and being about to see the full upper levels, etc. The only downside is that there is only one mens bathroom downstairs and its impossible for everyone to use it in the time they give for intermission. They need to set up a better system for organizing people to the bathroom.

Once in line for the show, everyone was very helpful and attentive. However, the recent but permanent closure of Market St. to private vehicles means that the passenger drop off area is on Hyde on the left side of the street. For people using mobility devices, that means slowly exiting the vehicle in the middle of traffic. On the way out of the theatre after we were able to explain the problem to the theatre security, they stood out in their orange vests and warned cars away from us. Make sure to send someone to ask security for help if you need it.

I hadnt been to this theater in decades but had to see Hamilton (worth every penny). Its such a lovely old venue. The womens bathroom across from door 3 has only 3 stalls upstairs, but it has 9 downstairs so, if you can handle stairs, head down there! (Yes, there are stairs inside the bathroom.)

Great venue! Have seen several plays/acts here. Good crowd management. Decent pricing for refreshments. Only complaint is that the seats are slightly small with very little leg room. Other than that I have enjoyed the venue!

Beautiful theatre. If you are a larger person, you may find the seat tight.

What can you say, San Francisco Theater District. Hamilton was absolutely beautiful. It was fun and rewarding. Its best to take Metro or Uber No stress.

Fantastic theatre. We loved Hamilton at this location!

Absolutely incredible. A rich, antique atmosphere that complimented the show and helped draw me into the world the actors had created. This was my second trip here, and theres definitely doing to be a third.

Its a beautiful theatre with wonderful acoustics. The mix of styles in the architecture is interesting and you get a nice sense of the buildings history. Seating is a little tight and the seats arent the most comfortable, but thats to be expected in an older building. Several bathrooms and bars keep intermission from getting too chaotic. In my opinion, the best seats are on the life/mezzanine level.

Charming, intimate, historic venue with high-quality productions in a sad, depressed neighborhood. We ate lunch 1st at Union Square and walked the 15 min down Market St, which was easy, though I almost stepped in a large pile of poop (canine or human?). This is a historic building with historic amenities, but its clean, the architecture is lovely, the temp inside comfortable and the seats roomier than some theaters. The relatively small size made us feel really connected to the stage and the performers. Theres a small bar with a few packaged snacks for hangry emergencies.

Saw Hamilton words cant describe. Cast amazingly talented. Theater beautiful

Cozy Theatre with Old Time Charm - way too crowded facilities. The prices for water and candy were riduculous, so we got out of the line ... $5 for a pack of small candy ...The latecomeres disturb the enjoyment of the play so much!!! There were like 20+ people running down the main aisle during Act I alone.The use of the relatively small stage was amazing during the Hamilton musical!!! Great production although the lyrics were really hard to understand via rapping.

HAMILTON- Extended thru 2020 at Orpheum TheatreExcellent service from when you 1st arrive and throughout your visit. The show starts promptly and directives for audience is clearly stated. The show was Superb. Excellent performance.

Saw Hamilton at this theater. Love the old architecture and it has lots of character. Because it is an older theater, the seats are very close together, so if your short and someone tall sits in front of you, your view of the stage will be obstructed. Also, not a lot of leg room with the seats in front of you. However, most seats will give you a pretty good view and the acoustics are fantastic.

SHN is the preeminent theatrical entertainment company in the Bay Area, bringing live entertainment experiences to San Francisco’s premier venues. SHN presents current hits fresh from Broadway, original Broadway cast productions, pre-Broadway premieres and one-of-a-kind events that are at the forefront of the national theater scene. I went with a dear friend to see Hamilton and boy what a wonderful experience, Unforgettable indeed. If you havent seen Hamilton just go and seeing it at the Orpheum makes it even more special.

Superb ornate theatre. Glorious space to see a show. I sat in the Orchestra seating area to see Hamilton and loved it. A great place to see a show

Watched Hamilton 3 times here so far. Once from the middle back of the mezzanine, the left of the mezzanine (pictured), and the back of the orchestra level.From the middle back of the mezzanine, the front of the stage might be covered by the heads in front of you, but the stage is mostly completely visible. From the far left of the mezzanine, the nearest stage back corner wont be visible, but you have a good view of the rest of the stage and the conductor. From the back of the orchestra, theres a good view of the stage, but the ceiling (mezzanine) enters into your field of view and feels pretty low.The seats are comfortable. The bathroom lines are very long. The bathrooms are also kind of confusing to find for both mens and womens restrooms. The ceiling is beautiful! Really nice staff as well.

This was an amazing theater to go and see an amazing show (Hamilton). It’s a beautiful theater with an amazing stage, great acoustics, and overall a 5 star experience.

Very modernized compared to the Orpheum, the bathrooms on the balcony were nice and clean and well equipped for the volume of people. Pretty lobby! Even from the very last row at the top I had a good view of the stage and didnt feel like I missed anything.

Was looking forward to seeing Hamilton. Okay, I understand the show is cancelled. Now BroadwaySF needs to refund our money promptly. I purchased these tickets months ago. Buyer beware.

Took my granddaughter, she was so excited. We really enjoyed the show. The staff there were very helpful. The seats were prefect. Bought a pack of M&M paid $4.00. Over priced I would say. Going there on bart was a good choice. We arrived there 10 minutes before the show started. Got off bart just around the corner. How convenient is that? No waiting in line when we arrived, staff were very pleasant people. We were able to take lots of pictures and we got autographs, I was disappointed that only four of the cast came out to sign autograph, I was looking forward to getting Thomas Jefferson autograph, but I understand that they had to prepare for the later show. Go see Hamilton you wont be disappointed.

The theater is very nice but, Hamilton was absolutely amazing. This is from a guy who doesn’t go to musicals. I’ve seen 2 ever for my wife. Wicked and Hamilton. I was very impressed with Hamilton.

Watched Hamilton here and it was amazing. The bathrooms need to be updated but otherwise the venue is good. Youre able to order drink for pick up during intermission so you dont have to wait in line.

This theater is stunning. The wood work in here was incredible. The staff knowledgeable and nice. I cannot wait to go back.

Saw Hamilton, loved the show but the seats are not staggered in a way that makes sure you get a good view and are not blocked by the person in front of you. Most newer theaters are much better at that and I had to deal with a tall man in front of me for the entire show despite having very close seats.Otherwise its a beautiful theater.

Went to see Hamilton and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The cast did and outstanding job

The Orpheum Theatre inside and out is amazingly beautiful! The atmosphere inside ranges, but for me I found it to be romantic, and filled with ebullience!However, just be careful at night when leaving the Theatre, as the area surrounding it is kinda sketch.

Amazing theater with incredible architecture. There are so many little details in the walls and ceiling it is just incredible.

My family came here for a broadway musical while we were in town, and the theater is absolutely gorgeous. Historic and restored nicely, but there seemed to be a shortage of powder rooms. It is the first theater Ive been to with crowd control in the restrooms, but it was needed and well managed.

Beautiful theater with truly lovely staff. Its small enough that there arent really any bad seats. My pic is from the very last row in the mezzanine.

Very well designed theatre with a great ambience. Went to see Hamilton here, amazing show!

Beautiful Theatre! We saw Hamilton and it was so great. The first part they had a little issue with the microphones so the first 3 scenes were really hard to understand. The concession was good and the seats were awesome.

Nice theater, with a beautiful central ceiling.

Beautiful theater. Located right next to a bart station stop. Great acoustics. Able to see the stage well even from the upper levels in the back. One problem is that the aisles are not well lit to see the stairs, so make sure during a show you either use the help of the ushers or you use your phone flashlight to find your seat. Takes a long time at concessions and not everything is located on the other floors, so you need to go down to the main lobby for a variety of concessions. Has plenty of bathrooms if you look. One bathroom even has a downstairs with many different stalls. A little confusing to navigate to seating, so ask the workers as you go along. The seat numbers vary and you should make sure your in the correct seat. Helpful staff though.

2nd show here. Beautiful theatre. Discount tickets available day of show.

Nice theatre. Old school charm feel. Good seats.

I went to see Hamilton here and the theatre itself it breathe taking and was incredible.

Saw hamilton. Sat row E, seat 10; great seat nice and close but I couldnt see about 15% of the stage. Seats 12 and 14 are even worse. Stay away from 14 row E!

Love this theatre. Its small so even from the back of the house you feel close to the stage. Not enough bathrooms so you have to run once intermission starts or risk not making it back in time.

We went to see Hamilton on a Sunday afternoon. We parked little farther and walked to the theater. They let us in right on time, 45 min before the show. Seats were comfortable and we had little extra leg room, since we were the first row in middle section. The architecture is really nice. The temperature was comfortable, not too hot or cold. The show was excellent, loved all the characters, Eliza and Hamilton. Worth the price! Nice family time!

Very convenient since the Civic Center BART station is literally just outside the entrance. Very clean and enjoyable atmosphere to watch a show.

Medicare for all rally. Peaceful informative rally and March. Law enforcement very helpful. Ml

Saw Hamilton! It was amazing! The Orpheum is a great location for musicals and performances and we had a grand time. We went as a birthday present and were blown away. I highly recommend everyone see Hamilton and if not this musical another one at SHN!

I love the shows that are here. Not so much the staff. Staff is not always kind or understanding to people with disabilities, especially a people whose disabilities arent as visible and need to sit down. It would be nice F there were more disabled seating in the center instead of off to the side, but the shows are always great, the theater is beautiful, and I enjoy myself over all. Is they would do better when it comes to Disability, they would have got 5 stars

We watched Hamilton for my daughters 17th. The theater is easy to find its gorgeous, comfortable and everyone was amazingly helpful and nice. The show was better than I had even imagined. I laughed, I cried and I sang along.

The place is screaming for a renovation in its seating section.In this century, the audience requires wider aisles to walk in and out easily, especially in case of an emergency.Larger and softer seats would make the experience more enjoyable at this theater.Ironically the toilet stalls and the wash area are super spacious.

Hamilton! Weve seen lots of plays here. Its a great theater. BART is literally steps from the front door.

Amazing Hamilton performance. It was 3 hours long with an intermission, but it was filled with excitement and humor. Dont miss it. We got great seats on Travelzoo and Goldstar.

Beautiful theater. Went to Hamilton and boy was I impressed. I wont even try to write about the play since everyone knows about it. All I will say is the hype is true! Its a cant miss play! As expected drinks are expensive but I like the preorder for intermission.

What a great musical! I’m so glad I brought my child to this.

Beautiful architecture, very well organized and maintained. I dont believe theres a bad seat in the house - we were in the very last row of the theater and could still see everything that was happening, even into the orchestra pit. Incredible venue.

Saw Hamilton. beautiful venue. good sound. the show was incredible!

Great location. Watched Hamilton here and loved everything but thought sound quality could be better.

The theater is beautiful but we went for the show. Hamilton was over the top great. I can see why theres been all the buzz.

I love this theatre! Hamilton was awesome! And we ran into Simon Longnight! He is AMAZING and he also rescued myself and a girlfriend from some unwanted attention!

Very fancy theater! I watched Hamilton in this theater and it looked nice! Highly recommend it!

The Orpheum is a true landmark. Its gorgeous with its stunning architecture. You can not go into this theater and not be impressed.

Great theater. Shows are fantastic. Saw Hamilton there. Only complaint is leg room is less than that of a airplane. So can get uncomfortable

Gorgeous. Went to watch Hamilton, frankly, best play Ive seen and a first in the US. The theatre had wonderfully designed ornaments and mouldings on the walls, the ceiling is also super cool. Would definitely recommend, parking wasnt too far away either.

Love this beautiful theater, but it wasn’t possible to get through the bathroom line during intermission.Really enjoyed orchestra seating for Hamilton though and I saw the ballet here years ago and that was great too from the higher seating.Would absolutely come again.

The theatre facility was nice, and the amount of people wasnt overwhelming, but a good size. The ushers were okay, but there was this one lady who was overzealous about showing people that no photos/no recording sign. The sound and lights were good. I saw Hamilton on Sunday Nov 3rd, at the 1pm show. A good amount of the cast were understudies, but they were still great, and the show in general was great too.

Shows are great, views are good, and easy to get to using BART.

Hamilton is worth the wait. The theater is beautiful in the middle of the downtown area. The restroom situation could be improved upon

There really aren’t any bad seats at the orpheum... We saw Hamilton twice there. Very best deals if you call the theatre directly for tickets.

Beautiful theatre. Support it live shows cant be topped. Amazing actors spot on good job!
