How is The Orpheum in NOLA for a show?

Both Turnstile and The Smile will be there before year’s end, and I’ve never been to a show there. Looks to be similar to The Saenger.

I think it’s one of the better venues in the city for live music. Nothing bad to say about it besides drinks costing an arm and a leg but that’s everywhere now.

It’s pretty different than the Saenger. Smaller, more narrow space and has an open floor (usually). It’s more like the Civic. I like it and they’ve booked a bunch of great shows this year.

I saw Ween there and we were in the front row of the upper deck and had great seats. I loved the venue.

Pretty good. Seats can be a little tight at the top

Is this show sold out? Not sure if Ticketmaster is working correctly this morning.

The floor is sloped downward towards the stage. The benefit of this is huge in that people in front of you are less likely to obstruct your view; HOWEVER, your feet and calves will hate you afterwards.
I recently sat in the box seats on the first balcony for the JJ Gray show, and that was one of my favorite concert spots. I will try and get there for every future show they host.

It’s a beautiful place. Great views seated from the balcony. I have never had floor tickets, so I don’t know what the experience is down there.

You can usually show up half an hour before showtime and be first in front. Seen some good shows being as far up as I wanted.

It wasn’t as of yesterday. I haven’t looked today.

I have not seen a show in there since they remodeled it but I have been in there to look around. It took them long enough but they did a beautiful job. I am glad they did not just leave it there to rot like they are doing with the Municipal Auditorium which is becoming a lost cause.

Pretty space
Normally good but sometimes a little spotty sound.
The sloped floor means good views down low. Front rows of the lower balcony are good. Up too gets steep and less comfortable quickly

I wouldn’t get seats. They are way in back and tight.
Get floor and enjoy the multiple bars.

I saw The War on Drugs there a few weeks ago and it was great.
Not as big as the Saenger...but not as small as Civic or Joy
I thought it was a good venue.
ETA: I'm going to see The Smile there...
