Toulouse Theatre, New Orleans, Visitor Guide & Things to Do Nearby

Toulouse Theatre stands at 615 Toulouse Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a city where live performance, from jazz trios to brass bands and burlesque, is part of everyday life. It is an easy stop for anyone who wants to see the Quarter's streets through the lens of its stage culture.

Tips for your visit

• If you are admiring it from the street, a short stop of ten to fifteen minutes is plenty. If you hope to see a show, check the current programme and opening hours first.
• Toulouse Street runs through the heart of the French Quarter, so it combines easily with a wander along the neighboring streets. Mornings are quieter and evenings livelier.
• Wear comfortable shoes, because the sidewalks in the Quarter can be narrow and uneven.
• Music is everywhere in this part of town, so leave a little time to stop and listen to street performers nearby.
