Orpheum Theatre Interactive Seating Chart San Francisco

March 21, 2025 by

There are many Orpheum Theaters across the United States. This seating chart is for the Orpheum Theatre, situated in the Civic Center District of San Francisco, California. This theatre first opened in 1926 and has since undergone several renovations, most recently in 1998, to make the venue more suitable for theatre shows.

More importantly, those renovations have led to the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco landing the hosting opportunity for a musical of & Juliet’s stature.

Orpheum Theatre Interactive Seating Chart

(Hover over any section for a row-by-row breakdown.)

Seating Charts By

Unlike most Broadway theaters, the Orpheum has four sections on the Orchestra, Loge, and Mezzanine levels. Typically, you’ll see three sections: left, middle, and right. This makes seat numbers in the center sections much more critical, as the true center of the stage is an aisle splitting the section in two.

As a general rule of thumb in the Orpheum Theatre, the lower the seat number, the better, as seat numbers in the 100s will put you in the center sections, and seat numbers in the 10s will put you in the side sections.

Orchestra Seating at the Orpheum Theatre

Generally speaking, the Orchestra has the most desirable seats in the theatre, especially in the center sections. We’ve also received feedback that the orchestra sides still provide good views of the stage. However, if you’re looking for the best seats at the Orpheum Theatre San Francisco, you’ll find them in rows D-L in the center orchestra, which are the perfect distance from the stage.

Unfortunately, the box office doesn’t label its tickets with great detail. They either say “Center Orchestra” or “Orchestra,” which can sometimes be misleading. If you buy tickets listed as “Orchestra,” that means they’ll be on the side. If you only want to be in the center, ensure that you’re only looking at tickets labeled “Center Orchestra!“

Loge and Mezzanine Seating at the Orpheum Theatre

The loge and mezzanine sections at the Orpheum Theatre are actually on the same level. The Loge is considered to be in the first three rows of the section (A-C), and the following nine rows (D-L) are considered the Mezzanine.

If you’re deciding between a Side Orchestra seat and a Center Loge seat, I would recommend the Loge. It’s more important to be centered, and the Loge section hangs over the Orchestra about 2/3 of the way back, so you still aren’t all that far from the stage.

Balcony Seating at the Orpheum Theatre

The Balcony is the highest level of seating at the Orpheum Theatre, and it’s significantly higher than the Loge and Mezzanine levels. There are only five rows of seats on this level, and it’s the least-desirable area of the theatre, but it also offers the cheapest prices. Check out the picture below to get an idea of the height of the Balcony section.

Legroom In The Orpheum Theatre

Like most theatres, the seats inside the Orpheum are tight and with little legroom. If you’re taller, we recommend sitting as close to the aisle as possible, as this will afford you more legroom.

We have also received feedback that the Orchestra seats have the most legroom, followed by Loge, Mezzanine, and Balcony. So if legroom is very important to you, we’d avoid sitting up in the Balcony area.

Obstructed View Seating at Orpheum Theatre

The seats on the far edges of the theatre – usually seats in the high 20s – may be obstructed or partially obstructed, and it’s up to the Orpheum Theatre to mark these tickets as such. Any listing on TickPick will include a note if there are any obstructions, so please pay attention to this when purchasing tickets.

Accessible Seating at Orpheum Theatre

According to the official site, “Accessible seating is available for guests with disabilities: Integrated Row R has spaces for wheelchairs and fixed theatre seats for companions, and Platform Row CC (in the rear of Orchestra) has spaces for wheelchairs and movable hardback chairs for companions.”
