About

The Dr. Phillips Center anchors downtown Orlando’s arts scene. The Walt Disney Theater hosts touring Broadway shows and big concerts, Steinmetz Hall is an acoustically tuned room for orchestra and opera, and the smaller Pugh Theater and Judson’s Live cabaret handle more intimate shows. Local companies like Opera Orlando and the Orlando Philharmonic perform here too.

Check the calendar before you plan a trip, since programming changes nightly and popular shows sell out. Buy tickets through the center’s own website. Arrive early to allow time for downtown traffic and parking, and consider dinner nearby on Church Street or around Lake Eola, a short walk away.

Good to know

Several stages
Confirm which hall your show is in, since the Walt Disney Theater, Steinmetz Hall and Pugh Theater each have separate entrances and seating.
Box office hours
Listed hours are for the box office, and performances run evenings and weekends well beyond them.
Plan for downtown
Leave extra time for traffic and parking, especially on nights with events elsewhere downtown.
