I loved everything about it. The street art was amazing the murals were excellent and the signage was informative. It couldve been more clean around the location but still it was beautiful. Will be going back after covid to go on the inside and enjoy it all over again.

Saw the original Phantom of the Opera today with LIVE ORGAN accompaniment for the whole movie . Incredible organist Tom Helms, incredible Mighty Wurlitzer!We always go to White Christmas, have only missed a year or two the past 35 years and always enjoy the sing-along with house organist Gary Jones. It isnt Christmas season for us until weve been to The Alabama for W.C. But hearing the organ provide the sound track for a silent movie was something else. Also loved the pre-show with a few ghouls and a thundering rendition of Toccata and Fugue. The volunteers and staff were first class as always.Definitely the top treasure in Bham.

Nice Architecture, classically styled building. Great experience.

Watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Awesome as always

This theater is just fun!! Ive been here many times over the years but most recently the Christmas movies shown each December are a relaxing, easy, entertaining way to share your favorite movies with friends, family, or a date night out. Arrive early!Great acoustics for concerts when the sound for the show is well done. I recently saw Jack Whites band, The Raconteurs, and I was impressed at how perfect the acoustics and sound were for such a loud concert.Overall - a great experience!

My wife and I loved this theatre. The atmosphere and the ushers were awesome. Be sure to get there early for your big night, there is only one way in so it could take some time. There are several bars inside, so you dont have to go to the first one you see. We loved this place and intend to see more shows here, when available.

Beautiful. Historic on so many levels. Thankful to have basically grown up in this theater.

I love the whole energy of the Theater. The architecture is incredible, acoustics are amazing, its just a wonderful experience overall!!! Saw Kip Moore last night after Devin Dawson opened, both were exceptional artists!

This is always such a great venue. It has the old theatre charm and there really isnt a bad seat in the house. We prefer the floor or side mezzanine seating if we get the chance to go to a concert or play. Only negative is bathrooms are either in the basement or all the way up stairs.

Beautiful and historic place. Be aware though, if you are seeing a concert here the audio and sound might not be as ideal since it is a theatre. All musicals, plays and shows etc. seem to be perfect.

One of the best things to see if youre from out of town, and one of the best places to go if youre a local. Ive been going here for years and nothing beats the aesthetic appeal everywhere you look, or the always polite staff. Tonight I went with my family to see the Nutcracker Ballet, and I believe it will be one of my fondest memories from now on.

BEAUTIFUL!! First time visiting (to my knowledge) and was blown away. Very well maintained and I LOVE the old school feel. Will definitely be planning to attend their Christmas movie shows and look for more live theater options to attend here.

Cute place. We went during the Christmas movie showings. We went about an hour before show time and got a parking spot across the street from the theatre.

Excellent venue for movies and concerts. This is a very old theatre but historic. I love going to the Alabama Theatre.

Awesome place. Loved the ambiance of this theater. Great event.

Great place for the whole family. Staff was very nice. Went with my grandson’s school trip, enjoyed it very much.

Such a beautiful theater! Its like stepping back in time. And the size is great... every seat has a good view!

LOVE visiting at different seasons throughout the year with my family! On of our top traditions is POLAR EXPRESS in December! Such a nostalgic atmosphere that you truly feel the history from a time period that we never got to experience! ALSO Wizard of Oz, Cartoon Matinee, and Disney Classics, AND SING-A-LONGS with Big Bertha (pipe organ) top as our favorites at our Alabama Theather! A GREAT experience and priceless MEMORY each and every visit!

Absolutely amazing and beautiful theater. The sound was great while seeing Jackson Browne. The seating is perfect. To sit in such an historical place and see one of my all time favorite singers was a a great birthday gift. The parking was literally around the corner for just $8 (the Mcwaine Center).

Beautiful and historic, the Alabama theatre is a great place to visit. I saw the Raconteurs most recently. The dress circle is a great place to sit for both economy of price and view. Just because the venue is classy doesnt mean you can avoid the typical loud, drunk, dancing middle aged woman though ;D

My first time & it was a beautiful venue. We saw Jackson Browne. Ticketmaster wont let me pull my tickets up or I would list my seat #s. We sat on the bottom in the very back on the lefthand side. It was very convenient as a door was right beside us but we were the end of the row that ended shorter than the regular rows so we were the only ones I saw use that door. We could see & hear everything beautifully. The concessions moved very quickly. The bathrooms (in the basement) were very big & clean. We got there early & bar hopped (walking) beforehand. All of the ushers & employees of the Alabama Theatre were nice & helpful. I would definitely recommend this venue & plan on returning!!

The Alabama Theater is the oldest in Alabama. It has been beautifully restored. Starting with the lit sign outside and the entering the theatre you get the feeling youve stepped back in time. The carved wood and the acoustics that lend that regal sound makes you stop and imagine the original opening night of this majestic theatre. Then Big Bertha the organ so lovingly named rises up out of the floor. The organ master tells a little history of the theatre and organ. Then plays and we sing along on this night it was Christmas carols. As we wait for the movie White Christmas to begin the smells of the popcorn popping wafts in from the entry way. We had popcorn, soda, hotdogs, and candy for all of us on our group. The lights dim and the curtain parts to display this huge movie screen. The sound in the theatre is simply amazing. It makes other theatres wish they could be so melodious. Let me tell you if you have not experienced it for yourself you havent experienced a real theatre ever. I cant describe how awe inspiring it is enough. This is something that you need to experience for yourself. While your there take the time to look at it and marvel at the ornate design for yourself.

I used to go to Alabama Theater every Christmas with my Mama, daughter, sister, best friend, and a bunch of other family members and friends to see Its a Wonderful Life. The only movie my Mama ever wanted to see. She would make fresh pralines that would melt in your mouth and put them in baskets and make sure that there was enough to go around. We would meet and eat somewhere before we would all pile in cars together to ride to Birmingham to the Beautiful Alabama Theater. We always got there in time for the sing-along with the organ. The Alabama Theater is like stepping back in time with the beautiful light fixtures and the pop up organ out of the stage. It is just breathtaking.My Mama died in October 2011 and I went a few times without her, but its just not the same. Though a group does continue to go. I will never forget the first time I went and stepped foot inside the Alabama Theater, that memory will stay with me forever.

The show we went so see wasnt much to talk about, but I loved the location. It was clean, the prices at concessions were reasonable, and its a beautiful place. It was fun to go and look at the architecture. Id recommend it.

Beautiful, historic theatre in downtown Birmingham. Gorgeous interior and a great variety of events. My personal favorite is the Rocky Horror Picture Show Masquerade Ball on Halloween. Definitely worth a visit.

My husband and I attended a comedy show there. The theater is beautiful!

If you can get the seats on the mezzanine thats the best spot in my opinion. The nachos are good but people starts to stare at you after the second crunch just fyi.

Such a beautiful, historic place in our city. The restoration work that has been done over the years makes this a special place. But, it the movie nights have always been special. Plan ahead, though. Certain popular movies won’t be easy to get tickets to.

Was just here for the Shipt Beyond conference. Beautiful place. Reminded me of the Fox Theatre in Detroit. Stunning architecture and well taken care of.

My absolute favorite place to see a live show.

Incredible historic venue. Been seeing performances here nearly 30 years. Just saw the Wizard of Oz in Technicolor. The Alabama was built by Paramount in 1927. Its an incredible journey into what going to the theater used to be like before Carmike, AMC and $17 popcorn. You wont regret visiting the Alabama Theater. It also has the largest pipe organ in the southeast!

So Beautiful! The organ is absolutely amazing!

A national treasure thats a feast for the eyes. The staff was so kind and really fun to chat with. And the A/C is beyond efficient so take a jacket if you chill easily.

It is an experience to see the old classic movies back on the big screen. The theater harkens back to a time when the theater was a place that captured American audiences. The organ still played before every show.

This theater was beautiful. Amazing detail. The best seats are Mezzanine if the floor close to the stage is not an option. Im my opinion the Mezzanine was best seat in the building. We were from row. Could see and hear everything without tall people or being crowded. My first time here was to see the Miranda Sings tour.

While we weren’t here for a production or a show. My company was renting the theater for a video which our corporate was filming. The staff were exceptional and extremely accommodating to our schedule that was changing. Glenny was our main contact who was an absolute delight. She helped the out of town corporate crew with everything they needed and provided us with so much insight to the history of the theater. She gave us so much information that we had no idea about. She even took us across the street to the Lyric to give us a tour and a history lesson. If you are considering using this for any event, I would highly recommend it. A big shoutout to Glenny for all the help she gave to us during this time!!

The restoration is stunning. This special place deserved to be saved.

This is one of the most beautiful theaters Ive ever been in. If you go for a movie here, you will get to see the original organ that is still in use from the 1920s. A wonderful experience for the whole family.

As always this place is great. Do wish they had some nights for edited movies. This way we choose to take our kids to see good movies with out some random bad language.

You need to go to this theater at least once if you live close to or in the Birmingham area. The interior and architecture is simply stunning. The screen is small and it doesnt get as dark as a normal theater. But its an awesome experience, especially if they have an organist to play!

The greatest atmosphere youll ever experience for a concert.

Great looking venue on the inside of the theatre. The big downside is the crazy slow bar. We waited in line for over 30 minutes for a drink and missed alot of the opening act. Also, the large mixed drink are 12oz, thats with ice to the top, for $16 . How the hell can that be a large?

Beautiful venue, prices are so affordable $9 movie, soda large popcorn $6. Nice alternative to the summer heat.

It was nice the DD4L All 3 house

Great historic theatre. Well maintained and great venues.

The program was an excellent presentation and the discussion was good. I hope a comprehensive solution is formulated to help resolve some issues that were discussed.

Very clean nice dressing rooms and a beautiful theater. Very nice stage and sound system as well.

This a major historical landmark in the city of Birmingham the architecture inside dating back to the 20s is beautiful being a Birmingham native I hope this building stands for future generations to appreciate.

Awesome venue. Lots of history. Like learning something new every time you walk thru the door. A Alabama must see!!!

Great theater. Good service.I do think the ushers should be more proactive about not letting people just stand in front of the stage when they didnt buy tickets for those seats.

I love every experience Ive ever had here! Especially at Christmas!!

Great place to see Concerts..like Toto

The Christmas movies are a wonderful tradition. I look forward to seeing my Christmas favorites each year. Plan ahead; the shows are starting to sell out.

There’s no place like the Alabama Theatre! It truly is “the showplace of the south!” This gorgeous, historic theatre has been completely restored to the glory of its heyday. The theatre itself is spacious with tiered balconies to accommodate a large audience. They have special events - concerts, weddings, etc, in addition to a classic film series, Christmas movie season, and much more. The theatre’s 17th street sign (original to the building and removed in 1957) was recently replaced, making it even more spectacular. Concessions are inexpensive and classic, along with a bar offering mixed drinks. The opulence of this place is something that’s rare to see in today’s modern age, a throwback to stylish luxury. Visiting is a real treat, and I do so often. You’ll also find plenty of lots and street parking when you come, but do arrive early and buy tickets well before any event or movie as they sell out fast!

After 92+ years she has still got it. Clean and beautiful. They dont make them like this anymore.

Awesome experience. We have done the Christmas movie there for 8 years now. Highly recommend it.

Great environment, one of the oldest theater

Really enjoyed our visit here. It was clean and the remodeling they have achieved is great.

An excellent experience of old fashioned theater, best organ in town, and amazing atmosphere. Perfect place to take your family and youll rarely be at lost to find a good event here. Also, fairly reasonably priced concessions. Highly recommend!

Great hospitality. Clean and well kept to be as old as it is. I really enjoyed watching the Muscle Shoals feature. Learning how the music industry started there along with competition. It was quite interesting to learn about all the musicians who had recorded there.The last time I went was in 1977 to watch Billy Joel, I think.Ladys of the night were walking the streets back then which seemed odd to me back then but I found out it was common.Its a whole different atmosphere now. Ill be going back soon to see some movies.If the staff reads this Id like to thank you all for such a great evening.

We went tonight for a showing of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. We arrived 30 minutes before showtime. The venue was completely full and people were saving most of the available seats with coats and purses. Some people had an entire row saved. We couldnt even hardly find two adjoining seats, and we had a party of five. A fight (shouting, not punching) broke out in the audience over seats at one point. I support the theater but they are going to have to figure out how to have assigned seats or fix the crowd control situation.

Beautiful venue. Great acoustics. Great seats no matter where you sit.

Beautiful place and great history. They play was amazing that we watched today

Beautiful, classic theater that has been maintained well. Even the vestibule outside the restrooms is handsome. The place was clean, with good sound and lighting during my visit to see Postmodern Jukebox (great show by the way). Plenty of help from the unobtrusive ushers.

Beautiful theater but very poorly built seating wise. I attended the 85 South Comedy show and although I had a good time listening to the jokes, I could not see them. The seats were too close and the rows are stacked directly behind each other. Most people in the balcony with me had to look over someone head or completely stand in their seat just to see.

A great venue and a magnificent piece of history. Had a wonderful time there.

Alabama theater is a great place for concerts, shows and movies. The best seats are in the front row of the dress circle

Great theater saw Ron White had a great time. B,ham is a great city

We catch as many of the Christmas movie series as we can--beautiful venue and always a great time!

Beautiful old theater lovingly restored. The mighty Wurlitzer organ, Big Bertha, makes wonderful music. The venue hosts many different shows and concerts. The summer movie series is always fun. Catch a show, make a donation.

Loved the theater being handicapped now the sloped aisles was easy walk for me great service from enployees would visit again loved the Beach Boys show

My favorite venue in the Ham. I love the rustic values of the theater and the step back in time you take when you walk through the doors. Very helpful staff.

Went to Sidewalk Fest to see the directors cut of Midsommar. The movie was fantastic and Alabama Theater is gorgeous but the crowd was awful and unbearable, hard to enjoy the movie, I feel bad for anyone who was there to see it for the first time. Should consider getting rid of the ability to drink in the theater as it ruins the viewing experience.

We enjoyed again “ Home Alone”. The Alabama Theater” is a treasure!

Beautiful place to see a concert! The service and seating was great for me.

Saw Vince Gill & enjoyed every minute! He is as good as it gets when it comes to country artists!

I like it. Beautiful place. 2 stars because the handicapped seating was not. It was literally in the isle... But it was an enjoyable experience other than that. Helpful staff.

Great venue for everything. I have been to graduations, shows, concerts, and it is never disappointing.

The area itself is really nice they remodel the building an its really nice i will return for another event

Great time with co-workers for a Christmas movie. Highly recommend visiting this place.

Awesome setting, not a bad seat in the house. Truly a hidden gem in Birmingham.

I only came here to service the alarm, but I would very much like to bring my wife on a date here. This place brings you back to a time when craftsmanship and nostalgia were thriving. Its was like stepping back in time and in a this crazy modern time we live, I could use more of, thanks and I hope you enjoyed your experience as I did at the Alabama Theater since 1912.

The building is absolutely beautiful and well kept considering its age. The staff is always great.

Fantastic venue!! I saw White Christmas and loved everything about the theatre.

This beautiful, historic theatre was built in 1927 and seems to retain the splendor that was originally intended for its guests at that time. Everything from the entry-way to the bathrooms has antique finishes and fixtures. The seating is comfortable and padded, which is nice, and really most seats have a pretty decent view until you start getting into the upper part of the highest balcony, when it can be a strain to see. The concessions have a reasonable amount of snacks, candies, sodas and water, and even a small selection of alcoholic beverages. Since weve been here for a symphony orchestra concert and a dance recital, I can honestly say its one of my favorite locations for any type of theatrical entertainment. Looking forward to our next visit!

AWESOME day. Surprise homecoming from our Airman from Texas! Came up on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ!!! We were ALL a basket case! Wow what a surprise!!!!!

Very nice venue. Seats are good almost any where so dont feel like you have to pay for front row. If you want alcohol preshow, long lines: went to ron white and people where still in line till half way through the show. It was fun.

The show was great if I could have seen it. Seating is terrible if there are any rows in front of you. The seats are positioned where the person in front of you is directly in front of you and so on. I was only four rows back from the front row and could not see over the people in front of me.

We had a really fun time at the Grease Sing-along! Weve been here numerous times. Tonight we celebrated my 15yo daughters birthday and enjoyed every minute of it!

What an amazing location to see a concert. Venue was beautiful and the people were wonderful. Jason Isbell was an outstanding show.

This place is beautiful. Near by parking is good.

Always a beautiful place to watch a great movie ballet, band, whatever you want. Helpful staff and great atmosphere.

Beautiful building! Would love to come back for movies.

Beautiful old theatre. We love to watch classic movies here when they show them.

Went to the Sidewalk Festival, it was wonderful. The theater is magnificent and kept up very nicely. Id love to go again.

This place os gorgeous. They play movies (check their website to see whichones and when) and it couldnt be any better. We went to see Casablanca on Valentines Day and truly enjoyed the experience.

I have heard about the Alabama Theatre forever and have never been inside. This past Friday I went there for an event and was blown away with the beauty of this venue. Hands down gorgeous. Highly recommend attending events here. Im now wanting to visit for one of their movie showings just to enjoy the atmosphere of this Birmingham Landmark.

Loved the update to the place. Enjoyed the show and hospitality.

Had a blast at the Rocky Horrow Picture Show!

We love the Alabama! Its a part of what makes Birmingham so amazing. Such a fun venue!
