}} Orpheum Theatre is a theater located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is one of four restored theaters on Hennepin Avenue, along with the Pantages Theatre, the State Theatre and the Shubert Theatre (now (The Cowles Center )). The building opened on October 16, 1921, originally named the Hennepin Theater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hennepin Theatre District: Theatre History: Orpheum Theatre )〕 The theater actually consists of two separate structures: a long, fingerlike lobby that extends back from a narrow facade along Hennepin Avenue, and the auditorium, which is set back and parallels Hawthorne Avenue. The restored lobby includes six terra cotta bas relief sculptures. The auditorium is intricately plastered, with a number of garlands, swags, medallions, and other decorations. The ceiling has a dome with 30,000 squares of aluminum leaf.〔 The building seats 1500 on the main floor and 1100 on the three level balcony.〔 Several musicals, including ''Victor/Victoria'', ''The Lion King'', and ''The 101 Dalmatians Musical'' premiered at the Orpheum. In 1988, the Orpheum was sold by Bob Dylan (who owned it from 1979-1988)〔http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/281361451.html〕 to the City of Minneapolis; it was renovated and reopened in 1993. In 2005, the city transferred ownership of its theaters to the Hennepin Theatre Trust.〔(History: Hennepin Theatre Trust )〕 Historic Theatre Group's original partner was Jujamcyn Productions. SFX (now Live Nation) bought Jujamcyn Productions in 2000.〔(Twin Cities-based show producer Jujamcyn is sold to N.Y. giant SFX )〕 Live Nation sold most of its theatrical properties, including its Minneapolis operations, to Key Brand Entertainment in 2008.〔(Live Nation Finds a Buyer for Its Theater Business )〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orpheum Theatre (Minneapolis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
