Omaha is full of amazing performing art centers, but the Orpheum Theater might take the cake. Just a short drive away from Spaces Apartments, this cornerstone of cultural history was constructed in 1927. Today it showcases some of the best live acts visiting our town, with new acts and performances cropping up weekly. We invite all our residents to pick out an upcoming show and indulge in this magnificent theater.

The Book of Mormon
The New York Times calls it "the best musical of the century." The Washington Post says, "It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals." And Entertainment Weekly says, "Grade A: the funniest musical of all time." Jimmy Fallon of "The Tonight Show" calls it "Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal." It's THE BOOK OF MORMON, the nine-time Tony Award®-winning Best Musical.
Ron White
Ron White aka Tater Salad is back! You won't want to miss the original cigar smoking, scotch drinking, outrageously funny Blue Collar Comedian for an evening of hilarious storytelling & side-splitting standup. Please note: Ron smokes a cigar and drinks scotch on stage. The show runs approximately 100 minutes. There is an opening act. There is no intermission. The show is for mature audiences.
Diana Ross
One of the most iconic female singers of all time, Diana Ross will perform in Omaha for the first time in over 30 years. Her musical repertoire encompasses R&B, soul, pop, disco and jazz, and includes such famous songs as Stop! In The Name of Love, Where Did Our Love Go, You Keep Me Hangin On, You Cant Hurry Love, and Endless Love, which remains one of the most successful duets in pop history. Her lustrous career was celebrated by the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in 2007 and the Grammys acknowledged her with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. The Guinness Book of Records has named her the Most Successful Female Vocalist of All Time. Diana Ross helped shape the sound of popular music and continues to perform as one of the most identifiable, unique, beloved and influential singers of successive pop generations.
