Orpheum Theatre, Historic theater in downtown Madison, United States.
The Orpheum Theatre features a grand limestone Art Deco exterior with a vertical marquee stretching along State Street in downtown Madison.
Opening its doors on March 21, 1927, the Orpheum Theatre cost $750,000 to construct and was partially funded by dentist William Beecroft.
The theater transformed from a movie palace to a modern entertainment venue, hosting concerts, comedy shows, and theatrical productions for Madison audiences.

The Orpheum Theatre holds the distinction of being the first building in Wisconsin to install air conditioning, which required an entire basement room.
