The Buell Theatre Venue Information

The Buell Theatre, officially the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre, is a cornerstone of Denver’s theater scene, designed with sandstone interiors from Lyons, Colorado, for superior acoustics and an open glass front complementing the DPAC’s architecture. Opened in 1991 with The Phantom of the Opera, it features a high ceiling to accommodate grand productions and a backstage Actor’s Alley with signed posters from past shows. The venue hosts DCPA Broadway tours, concerts, and special events, attracting over 100 million visitors for shows like Some Like It Hot and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child [source: www.denvercenter.org, www.artscomplex.com].

Located in Denver’s theater district, The Buell is accessible via Light Rail (D and H lines, Convention Center/Theatre District Station), COTA buses, or rideshare services (drop-off at 14th St. between Curtis and Champa). The venue is cashless, accepting major credit/debit cards and digital wallets, though some vendors may take cash for tipping. Amenities include a bar with drinks and light refreshments, accessible restrooms, and free services like audio description, ASL interpretation, and open captioning on select dates. The bag policy allows items up to 12” x 12” x 12”, subject to security checks with metal detectors.

The Buell Theatre Seating Chart

The Buell Theatre Seating Options

The Buell Theatre’s 2,839 seats are divided into Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony sections, with reserved seating for most events and general admission for select concerts. Below is a breakdown of the seating options.

Reserved Seating

Reserved seating is standard for Broadway shows, concerts, and special performances, ensuring a guaranteed seat in the Orchestra, Mezzanine, or Balcony. Seats are assigned at purchase, with lower numbers closer to the center. Wheelchair-accessible and companion seats are available throughout the theater, with ADA ramps and elevators on levels 3, 4, and 5 of the parking garage. Request accessible seating via Ticketmaster or the box office.

Orchestra

The Orchestra, on the main floor, is the closest to the stage, divided into Left, Center, and Right sections. Center Orchestra offers the most immersive experience, with clear views and acoustics, ideal for Broadway shows like The Lion King. Prices range from $100–$500+, with front rows (A–M) being premium. Side Orchestra seats are slightly off-angle but more affordable. Accessible seating is available in this section.

Mezzanine

The Mezzanine, above the Orchestra, is split into Front and Rear sections. Front Mezzanine offers a balanced view with excellent sightlines, while Rear Mezzanine is more budget-friendly, with prices from $50–$200.
