TOKYU THEATRE Orb

TOKYU THEATRE Orb is a theatre building located on the 11th floor of the Shibuya Hikarie complex, featuring modern architecture with extensive glass panels and advanced acoustic systems. The venue contains approximately 2,000 seats distributed across multiple levels and connects directly to Shibuya Station through the building's integrated passage system.

The theatre opened in 2012 as part of the Shibuya Station area redevelopment project, introducing a new cultural venue to Tokyo's performing arts landscape. Its establishment coincided with the broader modernization of the Shibuya district.

The venue hosts Broadway musicals, Japanese theatrical works, and international concerts, serving as a major hub where Tokyo audiences encounter performing arts from around the world. This role has made it a cultural gathering place for those seeking both Western and Asian artistic expressions.

The theatre is easily accessible from the train station through connected internal passages, making it convenient for visitors arriving by public transport. The location within a large complex provides various dining and shopping options nearby.

The entrance hall features a distinctive spherical design resembling a spacecraft portal, with deep blue and white colors meant to evoke sky and clouds. This architectural choice creates an immersive and unusual entrance experience that sets the theatre apart from typical performance venues.
