Secrets of the Orpheum Theatre!
Total SF - A podcast by San Francisco Chronicle
Categories:
The Orpheum Theatre on Market Street has a history that dates back to the Vaudeville era, with classic architecture that has been maintained and restored even through eras of turmoil and closure. Total SF hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight get a tour from the stage to the rafters — passing through secret doors, learning about a hidden apartment and hearing how the home of "Hamilton" fared when the lights were turned out because of the pandemic. BroadwaySF spokesman Scott Walton and managing director Ranier Koeners also talk about running the Orpheum and sister theater Golden Gate in San Francisco's changing Tenderloin District. Produced by Peter Hartlaub. Music is "The Tide Will Rise" by the Sunset Shipwrecks off their album "Community" and cable car bell-ringing by 8-time champion Byron Cobb.
