Inside the Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

The Orpheum Theatre at 1192 Market Street has been one of San Francisco's premier touring Broadway houses for nearly a century. Originally built as a Pantages vaudeville palace in 1926, the building features one of the most ornate interiors in West Coast theater -- a Moorish-Spanish Gothic blend with intricate plaster work, a starlit ceiling effect, and a horseshoe seating layout that puts every seat within reasonable sightlines of the stage. The Orpheum is operated by Broadway in San Francisco, now under the ATG Entertainment banner.

The current spring 2026 slate is anchored by an extended run of The Phantom of the Opera -- the Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbuster that has been the longest-running show in Broadway history. The Orpheum's run includes performances throughout the late spring and summer, with multiple show times per week. Beauty and the Beast -- Disney's perennially loved musical featuring Alan Menken's score, "Be Our Guest," and the unforgettable ballroom scene -- joins the lineup with dozens of dates, plus the Dracula - Ballet production and family-friendly engagement Bluey's Big Play.

The big news is the 2026-2027 ATG Broadway in San Francisco subscription season at the Orpheum, which was announced earlier this year by KSCJ and other outlets. The season kicks off in October with the non-subscription bonus engagement of Oh, Mary! at the Curran Theatre, then the Orpheum-anchored series begins with The Outsiders -- the four-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical -- from December 9 through 27, 2026. Hadestown brings Anais Mitchell's Tony-winning folk opera to the Orpheum next, followed by Buena Vista Social Club in February and Tony-winning surprise hit Operation Mincemeat (March 9-28, 2027).

Spring 2027 brings the new Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of The Great Gatsby (April 27 - May 16, 2027), followed by Death Becomes Her (June 9-26, 2027) and the season-closing six-time Tony Award-winning Maybe Happy Ending (June 29 - July 18, 2027). The latter, a Korean-import musical about two android caretakers in a future Seoul, became one of the most-discussed Broadway openings of the year. Coverage at Broadway.org has tracked the full slate.

Getting to the Orpheum is straightforward. The theater sits at the corner of Market and Hyde, directly above the Civic Center BART/Muni station -- one of the most transit-accessible Broadway houses in any U.S. city. Nearby dining options range from the chef-driven Hayes Valley restaurants to traditional pre-theater spots along Market and Polk Streets. The theater itself has multiple bars and concessions, including a balcony-level lounge with views of the historic auditorium.
