Every town has it's own Orpheum, and all of them pretty much look the same. This isn't a bad thing. Like other reviewers have noted it's straight up decadent. Like art deco, Great Gatsby, gold shooting out of the walls decadent.
I have seen The Format (when they still existed) here and more recently St. Vincent. The acoustics here are great and...well, I'm going to sound old when I say this but you get to sit down and see music. Sometimes it's just better that way. I like swagging out and bumping up next to all the people that jam into Crescent for the latest hip hop or house craze, but sitting down is just fine, too.
They could improve on the drink selection (no tanqueray...WHAT) but that is about it. Nice ushers who know how to tell you where you're going. Cuz it's dark. Very dark.
