Guest artist Augustin Hadelich was brilliant playing Concerto in D major for violin and Orchestra Op. 61. It didn’t hurt that he was playing on a Stradivari violin. The audience was especially appreciative when he graciously played an encore piece that was both calming and magical. Originally from Cleveland Ohio I attended the Cleveland Orchestra from age 5. I’ve been in Arizona 35 years and had season tickets most of that time. Don’t miss a symphony performance if you are in town.

My husband and I saw Scott's show for our anniversary. It was amazing. He had many different types of mind reading and magic and it was very interactive for the audience. I have no idea how he does it, but he was amazing. I would definitely recommend his show to anyone who wants to go do something different than dinner and a movie. Prepare to have your mind blown.
6. Orpheum Theater

I've been here for a few events, I think this last event was enthralling. The Theater was built to play Silent Films, and I attended a Silent Sunday event.. accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, played by Brett Valliant. I'd liked Silent Films for some time, my wife, mmm not so much. But we saw "Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans" from William Fox. For both of us the experience was enthralling, the Organ cannot be appreciated outside the theater. It absorbs you and brings you into the world presented in the film. It's been sometime sense the world disappeared and I was pulled into an experience. Back in the day, the Orpheum Theaters, were built to be a destination which played movies and hosted events. Each cities movie palace reflected a trait of the city in which it was built. (I remember coming here when I was in grade school). The building went through a couple of other incarnations, but was restored by the city of Phoenix. Thankfully it was not knocked down and lost.

that I never attended a performance here before. I thought the price of $7, in the paper, for a lunch time show was a mistake. It wasn't and the show was superb. This section is small and intimate, seating only around 100, with open seating and a chance to interact with the actors afterwards. What a delightful experience. One can even order lunch, although I prefer not to balance it on my lap. Tickets are generally available at the box office just prior to the show. There is even an evening performance, on Mon., for the same price.
