I worked briefly for the non-profit side of the Historic State and Orpheum Theatres. Both theatres are beautiful and Minneapolis is lucky that they were saved and restored. The nearby Pantages Theatre was renovated after I left.
It looks like Annie will be playing at the Orpheum Theatre (3/31-4/5) while you are there, khabah. That's the original musical...not the recent movie mess.

Random fact: With the exception of New York City, the Twin Cities have more theatre seats per capita than any city in the US.
