The Orpheum Theater Madison Seating Charts

The Orpheum Theater Madison is an enclosed setting that previously hosted  2,400 individuals. But ever since the venue underwent some renovations, the seating capacity went down to 1,700, losing more than 500 seats/seating capacity.

The chairs are arranged in rows. They appear to be facing one another, with a round table at the center of 5 to 6 seats. It takes the shape of a meal-setting arrangement, and the tables are styled in cocktails.
