About 90014

90014 refers to the Downtown Los Angeles theater district’s iconic Orpheum Theatre. Located at 842 S. Broadway in historic DTLA, this Belle Époque-style venue dates to 1926 (www.laconservancy.org). Designed by G. Albert Lansburgh in grand Beaux-Arts fashion, it quickly became the city’s premier live-entertainment palace (www.laconservancy.org). Today the 2,000-seat Orpheum (zipcode 90014) is a major concert and event venue, notable for its lavish French-inspired interior (two-story marble foyer, plaster ornamentation, stained-glass detail, gilded ceiling and chandeliers) (www.laconservancy.org). It still displays its original rooftop sign and classic neon marquee (www.laconservancy.org). Signature features include a fully restored 1928 Wurlitzer theater organ (one of only a few left in L.A.) that is sometimes used during screenings (www.laconservancy.org). Over the decades this venue has hosted vaudeville shows and legendary performers (Mae West, Marx Brothers, Judy Garland and more (www.laconservancy.org)), and after a $3 million renovation in 2001 it re-emerged as a modern concert theater (preserving its historic charm) (www.laconservancy.org) (laorpheum.com). In short, 90014 (the Orpheum) is notable for its vintage grandeur and central role in reviving Broadway’s historic Theater District.

Events and Programming

The Orpheum hosts a wide mix of performances year-round: rock, pop, and country concerts; Broadway and off-Broadway theatrical productions; comedy shows; world music and K-pop concerts; film screenings; and special events (like charity galas or corporate functions). The venue books touring acts and local shows, from alt-rock and indie bands to Latin, electronic and stand-up comedy. For example, coming seasons include Southern-rock revivals (Allman Betts Family Revival on Dec 20, 2025), Korean pop (ONEW World Tour on Jan 11, 2026) (laorpheum.com), Americana (Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit on Jan 31, 2026) and British comedy (James Acaster on Feb 10, 2026) (laorpheum.com). Special holiday concerts, tribute shows and the Conservancy’s classic-film series (Last Remaining Seats) also appear here. The calendar typically has events a few times per week, with local promoters and Broadway Theatre Group managing bookings. Ticket prices vary widely by event (from roughly $30–$60 for smaller acts up to $100+ for top headliners) – see the section below for examples (seatgeek.com). Recurring events may include film premieres and conservancy screenings in the summer, and occasional midnight movies on the big screen. In short, 90014’s programming is eclectic, reflecting both downtown L.A.’s vibrant arts scene and the theater’s historic legacy.

Tickets and Booking

Tickets for events at 90014 are sold through authorized sellers and the venue box office. Major concerts generally go on sale months in advance; follow entertainment listings or the theater’s announcements for dates. Advance tickets can be purchased online or, in person, at the Broadway Street box office (located at the theater entrance). The box office is open on Wednesdays from 10 AM–5 PM and also opens about one hour before showtime on performance days (laorpheum.com). Same-day box-office sales may be available if not sold out, but popular events often sell out early. Pricing is tiered: for example, SeatGeek listings show K-pop star ONEW with tickets “from $59,” while a major rocker like Jason Isbell shows tickets “from $169” (seatgeek.com). In the past, lesser-known acts have started around $30–$60, whereas Vegas-style shows or top-charting artists can exceed $150. Often early rows and “orch” seats cost more, with balcony seats cheaper. There are no dynamic age-based discounts advertised – children generally need tickets (see FAQ below). To save money on popular shows, check for presales (e.g. mailing lists) or promo offers, but always book through the official channels. Note that tickets purchased through third parties may not be guaranteed, and scalping or unauthorized resale is prohibited.

Seating and Layout

Inside 90014 (the Orpheum Theatre) the seating is fixed and reserved — there are no general-admission areas. The main floor orchestra, elevated loge, and balcony together can seat over 2,000 guests (thevendry.com). Seats are all upholstered (renovated in 2001) and arranged on a gentle rake for good sightlines. The best seats are usually toward the center of the orchestra (for close-up view and sound) as well as the first few rows of balconies. Every seat offers a relatively direct view of the wide proscenium stage (50′ wide, 30′ deep with extensions) (laorpheum.com). The venue also has a few side-box seats on each level (small sections of 4–6 seats on the left/right sides) – these can be atmospheric but offer a more angular view. Sound in the theater is excellent: natural acoustics plus a 24-speaker Dolby Surround PA system means even performances with minimal amplification come through clearly (laorpheum.com). There are no in-house “VIP boxes”, but the front rows of the orchestra could be considered premium. Patrons can remove the first few rows of floor seats if needed (e.g. for dance floor or camera crews) (thevendry.com). Wheelchair accessible seating is available on both the main floor and the balcony (laorpheum.com). Overall, the layout is fairly compact – even the back balcony feels reasonably close – so acoustic and visual immersion is high. (One caveat: latecomers may have to enter from the back through the lobby).

Getting There and Parking

90014’s exact address is **842 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90014** (www.laconservancy.org). It sits at the corner of 7th Street and Broadway in downtown’s Broadway Theater District. By car, major freeways (I-110, I-5, US-101 and I-10) are just a few blocks away (laorpheum.com), making highway access easy from nearly any direction. Directions: northbound on the 110 to the 7th St exit, or westbound on 10 to Figueroa and north on Flower St. For public transit, the venue is very convenient: the 7th Street/Metro Center station (Metro B/D/A/E lines and several bus lines) is only about 2 blocks from Broadway. In practice, get off at 7th/Figueroa or 7th/Hope and walk a block west. Several Metro Rapid and DASH buses also run on Broadway and 7th. Rideshare drop-off/pick-up is usually easiest right at Broadway and 7th (just outside the entrance); the area is well-lit and busy during events. Parking is plentiful but paid. There are over 1,200 public parking spaces within a block of the theater (laorpheum.com). This includes several surface lots and garages directly behind and adjacent to the venue, as well as parking structures on Broadway and nearby streets. Typical rates run roughly $10–$20 for a 3–4 hour concert, depending on the lot. (Street parking downtown is scarce after business hours.) Valet parking may be offered by some nearby hotels on event nights, but most attendees use the nearby garages. Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes early to find a spot and walk in; during big events the lots fill up quickly. Traffic on daytime events can be heavy on Broadway, but evenings are usually smooth once you’ve entered the parking lot. Finally, note that the Orpheum is adjacent to other large downtown venues (Staples/ Crypto Arena and the Convention Center (laorpheum.com)), so allow extra travel time during major citywide gatherings or traffic surges.

Inside the Venue

Upon entering the Orpheum, expect a beautifully restored historic lobby. The two-story foyer is faced in marble and ornate plaster, illuminated by a grand crystal chandelier (www.laconservancy.org). There is coat check available near the entrance (in winter it can be busy), and friendly ushers to guide you to your seat. Security is standard – bags may be inspected and all visitors must present tickets. The Orpheum is climate-controlled (air-conditioned throughout) and comfortable. Concessions are handled by on-site vendors. The main snack bar (“Momo’s”) and bar stations offer a variety of treats: soft drinks, water, popcorn, candy and light snacks, plus a full bar with beer, wine and cocktails (www.orpheumlive.com). Menu items mirror a typical theater fare (pretzels, chips, hot dogs, etc.) and OVG Hospitality operates the concessions. Credit cards are accepted at all bars and at an on-site ATM (located by Momo’s) during events. Outside food and beverages (especially alcohol) are not permitted – plan to use the venue’s concessions (www.orpheumlive.com). A separate VIP green room and private lounges exist backstage (for performers) but are off-limits to the public. Restroom facilities have all been modernized and expanded. The women’s restroom was enlarged to nearly triple its original size during the 2001 renovation (laorpheum.com), so queues are shorter than in many old theaters. Men’s restrooms have also been updated and are located on both lobby levels. You can fill water bottles at fountains if needed. Free Wi-Fi is not generally available (the cell signal in downtown is good for 4G, though), so plan to save photos and social media uses until intermission or after the show. Throughout the lobby and lounge areas there are displays or plaques describing the theater’s history. Merchandise stands may pop up for big concerts (selling tour T-shirts or program booklets), but this is handled by the promoters, not the venue itself. For seating, all tickets are individually numbered and you will show your ticket (printed or digital) at the front entrance. Ushers will help you locate your row. There is no general-admission floor – every attendee has an assigned seat. The stage also hosts an 8′ riser that can be used for extra dancing space or equipment.

Nearby Amenities

Because 90014 is right in the heart of Downtown LA, there are numerous options just steps away. Directly across Broadway is the historic Grand Central Market (317 S Broadway) – a food hall with dozens of casual eateries (tacos, ramen, pasta, coffee, etc.) open late into the evening. If you arrive hours before a show, grab dinner or a snack there. Other nearby restaurants include classic DTLA spots (the nearby Clifton’s Cafeteria, Perch Rooftop Lounge, or any number of modern bars and cafes along Broadway and Spring St). For drinks before or after the event, there are sports bars and pubs within a few blocks. Hotels abound close by. Popular downtown accommodations like the Millennium Biltmore, JW Marriott, Westin Bonaventure and InterContinental LA are all within a mile of the Orpheum. In fact, the venue sits amid a cluster of 4– and 5-star hotels (laorpheum.com). If you’re staying overnight, these are walkable or a quick rideshare away. Even if not staying downtown, Lyfts arrive quickly here. Other downtown attractions are very accessible: the new Crypto.com Arena (Staples Center) and L.A. Live complex are about 3 blocks away (laorpheum.com), so concert and event crowds often spill into each other. The Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA, and The Broad museum are a few blocks north if you’re sightseeing. Public restrooms and city bike-sharing stations are also scattered nearby. In short, this location has everything a visitor needs – dining, lodging, shopping and entertainment – within walking distance of the venue.

What Makes This Venue Special

The Orpheum’s unique charm comes from its blend of historic grandeur and modern functionality. Architecturally it’s one of L.A.’s finest “movie palaces,” designed to impress with French-inspired decor and lavish detail (www.laconservancy.org). The stunning facade – gray terra-cotta ornately carved with winged helmets and griffins – still graces Broadway, capped by the original 1920s rooftop sign and neon blade (www.laconservancy.org). Inside, the two-story marble foyer and twin gold-trimmed chandeliers provide a “palace-like” atmosphere, unlike any modern theater. Few venues can boast an original theater organ; the Orpheum’s Wurlitzer Opus 1821 (installed 1928) was fully restored in 2001 (www.laconservancy.org). The instrument is still used for classic film screenings, connecting audiences to another era. Culturally, this theater is beloved as a touchstone of Broadway’s golden age. It was where vaudeville legends like Mae West, the Marx Brothers, and later Judy Garland once performed (www.laconservancy.org). After years of decline, the 2001 renovation brought it back as a linchpin of the downtown revival. Locals appreciate that watching a show at “90014” is both an entertainment outing and a chance to experience living history. Film enthusiasts note that the Los Angeles Conservancy’s famous “Last Remaining Seats” classic-film series often features the Orpheum as a venue, underlining its iconic status. From a performer’s perspective, artists love Orpheum for its acoustics and ambiance. It has enough character (balcony boxes, proscenium soundboard, working organ) to feel intimate, while still hosting thousands of fans. The marquee lighting and stage rigging have been updated (new LED displays and rigging were added) so shows today have top-notch production capabilities even within a historic shell. In essence, 90014’s specialness lies in being a bridge between past and present – a shining example of preserved heritage that houses contemporary entertainment. It remains a cultural anchor for the community, helping anchor downtown Los Angeles’s nightlife and creative economy.

Visitor Tips and Information

– **Arrive Early:** Plan to show up 30–45 minutes before curtain. That gives you time to find parking/transit, walk to the theater, check in at the entrance, and settle into your seat without rushing. The lobby is worth admiring – the grand staircase and crystal chandelier are picture-perfect. (www.laconservancy.org). *Note:* Security wanding and bag checks are common; having digital tickets ready on your phone speeds entry. – **Dress Code:** There is no formal dress code here. Casual and business-casual attire are both fine. Since downtown can get cool after sunset, a light jacket is wise for the evening. Comfort is key, as the seats are cushioned but compact. Many guests will wear nice jeans, dresses or smart-casual outfits. – **Age Restrictions:** Most events require a paid ticket for *anyone* over about one year old (laorpheum.com). Infants may ride on laps if the show’s policy allows, but always check the specific show’s rules (for example, some rock concerts insist on tickets for all attendees). – **What to Bring:** Only small bags are allowed; a clear bag (up to 12″×12″×6″) or small clutch is easiest. Backpacks or large bags are generally discouraged and may need to be checked. Don’t bring outside food or drinks – the theater offers concessions (www.orpheumlive.com). If you want water, it’s okay to buy a bottle inside. An ID is recommended if you plan to purchase alcohol (the bar requires IDs for wine/beer/cocktail sales). – **Accessibility:** The venue is ADA-friendly. Wheelchair spaces are in the main floor and balcony (laorpheum.com). Two 2,000-pound elevators connect the lobby, mezzanine and stage, so no stairs are needed once inside (laorpheum.com). (If you need it, an assisted-listening device can usually be provided at the box office upon request.) – **During the Show:** Phones and tablets should be silenced. Some artists allow simple point-and-shoot cameras for personal use, but professional cameras (with detachable lenses or video) and recording devices are never allowed. Flash photography is forbidden and could get you escorted out. Food and drinks can be purchased during the show, but cameras/phones should remain holstered. Stay seated until intermission unless absolutely urgent; late arrivals are often seated at a break. – **Intermission:** Spend intermission exploring the lounge or picking up snacks. The women’s restroom is very roomy (triple its old size (laorpheum.com)), so lines move quickly. An ATM is on-site in the lobby if you need cash. Bars accept credit cards, and eateries (Momo’s) take cash/card for snacks (www.orpheumlive.com). – **Safety and Comfort:** The area is well-lit and generally safe. The theater’s staff and security are professional and can help with any issues. Large events may maintain a crowd outside briefly as cars disperse on Broadway. If you have any questions or problems, guest services are available at the lobby. – **Checkout:** Official souvenir merchandise is sold through reputable sellers during concerts; you will find t-shirt booths or programs if the artist has them. Tack on a few extra minutes after the show to exit and reach your car. Broadway and 7th can be busy when thousands stream out at once, so it may be wise to wait a few minutes or let crowds thin before heading out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get and purchase tickets for events at 90014?

Tickets can be bought through the venue’s official channels or authorized sellers. The on-site box office (at the theater entrance) is open Wednesdays 10 AM–5 PM and on show days about an hour before curtain (laorpheum.com). You can also buy online via the venue’s site or reputable ticketing outlets. Prices vary with the event, often from low-$60 up into the hundreds for prime seats (seatgeek.com). For popular shows, buy early—as seats can sell out.

Where exactly is this venue located and what transit or parking options are available?

The theater is at 842 S Broadway in downtown LA (ZIP 90014) (www.laconservancy.org). The nearest Metro stop is 7th Street/Metro Center (several lines), just a short walk east. By car, major freeways (110, 5, 10 and 101) are nearby (laorpheum.com). Paid parking is plentiful within one block (over 1,200 spaces nearby (laorpheum.com)); rates are about $10–$20 for a concert. Rideshare drop-offs usually occur at Broadway/7th St at the theater’s entrance.

What is the seating layout and where are the best seats?

The theater has about 2,000 reserved seats across orchestra, first mezzanine (loge) and balcony (thevendry.com). Best views and sound are generally in the center of the main floor (orchestra) and the front rows of the balcony. Side box seats exist but have a more angled view. There is no general admission floor—every ticket has an assigned seat. Wheelchair-accessible spots are available on the main level and upper levels (laorpheum.com).

How early should I arrive before the show starts?

Plan to arrive at least 30–45 minutes before the posted showtime. This lets you find parking or navigate public transit, go through ticket check/entry, and settle into your seat. Arriving early also gives you time to use the restrooms or purchase concessions so you don’t miss any of the event. Remember that lines can form near opening time, especially for popular shows, so earlier is better.

What are the rules about bags, food, and cameras?

For security, only small bags and purses are allowed (large backpacks or suitcases are prohibited). If possible, use a clear bag under 12"x12". Outside food or drinks cannot be brought in; however, concessions in the lobby sell snacks, soft drinks, coffee and alcoholic beverages (www.orpheumlive.com). Small personal cameras (no professional lenses) are usually allowed for casual photos, but no flash. Audio/video recording devices are strictly forbidden during performances. Always follow the on-site signage and instructions from staff.

Is the venue ADA-accessible?

Yes. The main floor and balcony both have wheelchair-accessible seating sections (laorpheum.com). There are two guest elevators (2000 lb capacity) that serve the lobby, lounge and balcony (laorpheum.com), so people using wheelchairs or mobility devices can reach all public areas. If you need assistance, call the box office in advance to reserve an accessible seat and staff can guide you in on event day.

Are there bars or food outlets inside the venue?

Yes. Inside the theater you’ll find “Momo’s” concession stand and several bar locations scattered throughout the lobby levels (www.orpheumlive.com). They sell snacks (popcorn, pretzels, candy), soft drinks, and also have a full bar offering beer, wine and cocktails. Drinks and snacks can be purchased before the show or during intermission. (ATM and credit-card machines are available, so you can pay by card easily.)

Is there a coat check at 90014?

Yes. Coat check is typically available inside the venue on cold nights or for special events, usually near the main lobby entrance. There may be a nominal fee. During warm weather or for casual events, people often simply keep light jackets with them or hung on the seat backs. If a coat check is offered, ushers will direct you to it upon entry.

Are children allowed and is there an age limit?

Children are allowed, but policies vary by event. For most shows every attendee aged one year or older needs a ticket (laorpheum.com). Infants (under two) often sit on a parent’s lap for free, but this depends on the promoter. Big shows (especially rock concerts) may enforce a strict “no lap tickets” rule. In any case, families should review the specific event’s age policy. The venue itself has comfortable seats, but no special facilities (like strollers inside) — plan accordingly.

What should I do if I’m running late?

Ideally, plan to be there before showtime. If you arrive after the performance has started, you will still be admitted, but you may have to wait for a natural break (like scene change or intermission) before taking your seat, to avoid disturbing others. Ushers will seat late arrivals at an appropriate time. Note: some events (especially ones with audiences seated on the floor) may not allow any late entry, so check the event’s policy in advance.

Is there a dress code or attire recommendation?

No formal dress code is enforced. The usual attire for Downtown LA theaters is smart casual: jeans, dresses, button-down shirts, etc. You’ll see people in everything from T-shirts and nice jeans to cocktail dresses. Think comfort over formality, especially if arriving early or leaving late. If it’s a special event or opening night, some patrons dress up a bit more. In general, neat casual is perfect.

Can I bring my phone and use it during the show?

Yes, but phones must be silenced or turned off during the performance so as not to disturb the show. Activities like texting or browsing are frowned upon while the lights are down. Taking photos is often discouraged (some artists even prohibit it). Most guests leave their phones in their pockets or on silent in the lobby. If there’s an emergency or you absolutely must use it, step into the lobby.

What is the history of the Wurlitzer organ at this theater?

The Orpheum once installed a giant Wurlitzer theater organ in 1928 specifically for silent films and performances. This instrument (Opus 1821, Style 240 Special) was meticulously restored during the 2001 renovation and is still in working order (www.laconservancy.org). Today it is occasionally used during classic film screenings or special events as a nod to the theater’s heritage. Few venues this size still have an original theater organ, making it a special feature of 90014.

How can I contact the venue or box office for more information?

The Orpheum’s box office can be reached by phone at (877) 677-4386 (www.laconservancy.org) during its business hours. You can also email [email protected] or visit the official website’s “Contact” section. Box office ticket hours are Wednesday 10 AM–5 PM, plus on performance days. For event-specific questions (like seating or accessibility), calling the box office is best, as staff can provide the most accurate and up-to-date guidance.
