Orpheum Theater

Great spot for Stomp. Small theater and the seats are close together so you definitely feel a little cramped until the show starts… then it’s so entertaining you forget about the lady crunching food loudly next to you or the kid behind you touching your hair. Well, you almost forget. Ha.
The theater staff are friendly and efficient in getting you where you need to go and directing you to the bathrooms, which are upstairs in the balcony level.
We sat orchestra level about one third back from the stage and we were able to see and enjoy everything without a problem. We had a great time being entertained by the cast of Stomp!

This review is strictly based on the theater itself (not the amazing show I’ve seen here twice). The first thing I have to mention is how uncomfortable the seats are. Not friendly toward the tall or ‘hippy’ individual. Thankfully for me the show was so freaking awesome I was distracted from my discomfort lol… it’s not a big theater and the acoustics in the building (or lack thereof) make it very easy to hear the person 5 rows in front of you whispering. So because some people don’t know how to actually be quiet during performances, i find that quite rude. But I LOVE STOMP! So as long as it’s being shown here, I’ll most likely be back again and again… sporadically!

The staff is very attentive, great place, great show. Very clean, Definitely can’t wait to come back!!! Stomp stomp stomp your way back here…

I never review theaters, since they’ve all seemed the same to me, but I had to voice my thoughts on the Orpheum Theater. Why is it so cramped and uncomfortable here? I am 5 feet tall and I couldn’t fit in these seats. Imagine what my 6 foot tall brother was going through! I felt awful bringing him to sit here. Why is the bathroom in shambles? It’s so small I thought I was in a nursery school bathroom. And why are they allowing babies in here? It’s kind of annoying watching a show while hearing a newborn behind you crying and babbling! For the price of this show, you’d expect at least a decent atmosphere.

The night we went, the theatre was extremely hot and dry. I was very uncomfortable throughout pretty much the whole show. I actually had to take off my sweater and was sitting in a camisole (on a cold winter evening and no I’m not menopausal!). The heat was also making me sleepy — could you imagine being able to nod off for a few at a show called STOMP?!
I had been wanting to see the show for years and was very happy to have the opportunity. It was good but I was expecting just a little more «oomph». There were still some aspects of the show that I really enjoyed and where the movements and hitting of everyday objects actually did seem to create music. And that’s why you go to see this show.
I would recommend the show if you can get discounted tickets, and I do hope that my overly-​hot experience was a random one-​time thing and the theatre is not like that all the time.

Saw Stomp! Wow! Wow! Wow! Absolutely fantastic must see show! Would love to see again! Theater is small, but perfect to really enjoy the talent and sounds of the show! No bad seat in the house! See immediately!!! Not enough stars to rank it high enough!

I have seen Stomp before, but it seems that this time there was some energy lacking. There was a bit more coordination before, and the flow was faster and smoother. But it doesn’t mean that you should miss the show at all. It’s truly worth watching.
The Orpheum Theater is another story altogether. The seats are seriously uncomfortable and both times I had a regular height person sitting in front of me block my view almost entirely. They really need to give some thought to the slope of the seats to allow for better viewing for those sitting behind tall people (or those with weird hairdos — seriously, leave the crown buns at home).

I read the limited reviews on Unilocal about this theatre hoping to get an idea of what seats I should buy to see Stomp. Yes, the theatre is small. I guess any seats in this theatre would be OK with the exception for short people. The theatre does not incline enough for the person behind you to see over the top of the person in front. If you are short like me, and, a very tall person sits in front of you (like what happened to me), you are pretty much screwed. Luckily I had an aisle seat so I spent most of the show with my neck contoured. As for the seats, I thought they were fine. They are cushioned. Also, they provide cushions for the kids.

It is hard to review this because the show is awesome, but sat on the front row of the balcony. You have to be a midget to sit comfortably in the seat and on the ends you have availing three feet from your face right in the middle of your view of the stage. The lower bar of the railing is right at your knees. So the show goes like this… you slouch in your seat to see the show while your feet hang off the balcony. At the end your back hurts and then you have to climb down stairs. If I knew this was my seat I would have made other arrangements however at no time of purchasing the tickets through stomps ticketmaster website did it say there was an obstructed view, and I spent $ 90 on the seat, should not be theat costly for that kind of struggle.
Great show, awful seats…

had a blast — really enjoyed «Stomp»!

Its a small venue which is nice. Went to see Stomp with my bf for our anniversary. It was an afternoon show on a Sunday so i understand kids will be there but they were right behind us and were kicking my chair. The show wasnt sold out so we moved to seats behind that were empty.

This show is a MUST see! Even for families. I don’t have kids, but there were several in attendance and they all greatly enjoyed the show. What amazed me most was the perfectly in synch performers. They all participated in making the beat of the music with their movements and they never missed a beat! Especially if you are creative or musical this show will blow your mind! What I liked about the venue was the courteous service and down to earth people there. Sometimes theaters and the people that work can have the air of superiority, but everyone was so warm and real.

Super rude staff. Told me if I go to the bathroom and the show starts I can’t go back in until the first act ends. The rude lady forgot to mention that she knew the show would start the moment I walked out. So as i took one step out, she slams the door behind me and says in the most sarcastic voice possible «the show has started»
First and last time here.

So of course, I was there to see Stomp. I loved it, but that’s a separate Unilocaling. This review is on the venue. I think this is the PERFECT venue for a show like Stomp. It’s not fancy, not pretty, not fully stocked. The walls beyond the stage were decked in, well, garbage… the kind of stuff they’d somehow make music to in the show. The acoustics were great. The banging hardly echoed. It’s small, intimate, and just plain cute. The staff was really friendly, both security and the box office. We went back-​and-​forth deciding on where to sit and the staff joined in on the debate. Cute, right?

3÷11÷09 Went with a group of 20 people. Saw stomp. Our tickets cost $$ 45.00 each. Theatre was very small, we had seats in the fron, left sidet. Hot guys. There was no intermission. Staff was friendly. Very loud.

I had seen Stomp back in 1999 and thought it was amazing and innovating then. I hadn’t been back since and decided to check it out during the 20 for 20 promotion being held during restaurant week. I was pleased to see that this show is still going strong. It is creative, funny and entertaining the entire time. The show runs about an hour and a half without intermission, but keeps your interest throughout. This show is a great example of how music can come from anywhere and it just takes a creative spirit to make it happen. I think this show is great for older kids (it can be a bit loud for very young children), especially those interested in music.
The theater is small, so there aren’t any terrible seats, but unfortunately there are some obstructed views. My only real complaint is that the seats are terribly uncomfortable, especially if you are taller (I am about 5’8″ and I found these seats to be worse than many theaters around the city). I started to get a bit antsy towards the end of the show simply because my knee was starting to really hurt from being cramped up for so long. If you are on the tall side, be prepared to pay for your enjoyment.

Stomp is a must see if your ever in NY.
I’ve only ever heard good things about this show — I had to see it for myself. It was entertaining from start to finish!
It had heart and it was funny too! They are very talented performers. If your a music person, which I am — your LOVE this show!

just watched stomp this afternoon with my gf for the first time. i have been wanting to see this show since last summer when i was in vegas and finally saw it today. and i must say, i must have had high expectations for this show bc unfortunately i was a bit disappointed.
it wasn’t a complete let down, however, i just thought it would be more exciting with a bunch of ooo’s and ahh’s. yes, they’re talented but the show itself felt liked it drag at times. my favorite was the beginning and the last bit. i hate to admit this, i nodded off for a sec! it might have been a combination the freezing weather outside, the warm theater inside and the nonstop walking around. who knows.
we bought the tickets at half price so it came out to $ 81. BUT ACTUALLY, i would say it cost me $ 101 bc i F*CKING lost $ 20 at the booth. it was so windy the wind blow my money. i was able to catch most of it except one bill… it fell down the damn crack of the bldg! needless to say i was extremely upset for quite some time and am still bummed. whatever. my gf tried to make me feel better by saying some homeless person will find it and that will make him/​her happy. ugh! i dont want to make a homeless person happy… i want to make ME happy! selfish? i don’t care… bite me!

Nice cute Theatre…
Friendly staff from the door to the seating…
Stomp has been playing here for years… nice cozy set up…
for the best view i would say H seat 2 has an un obstructed view.
–1 star for a kinda uncomfy seat…
cool experience… parking was not too hard to find. great restaurants around…
