[edit] History

The 2,600-seat proscenium theater was originally built in 1927 as a vaudeville house after John A. Creighton, a local philanthropist, donated a large amount of money towards its construction. The Orpheum underwent a $10 million renovation in 2002. In 2004, the Orpheum Theater Skylink was added for increased convenience and accessibility to the Orpheum. The 200-foot-long elevated, enclosed and climate-controlled walkway connects the OPPD parking garage to the Orpheum Theater.
