Very quaint Event Hall. The sound, and overall experience was very enjoyable. We were there for the Steve Vai and Alabama Symphony Orchestra show. Steve was absolutely amazing and the orchestra did a great job on such short notice.Staff was outstanding!

Went,my first time ever, for Roseanne Cash on Sunday with a new friend. It was a really great experience. The A.S.c is beautiful inside, very well ventilated. Roseanne Cash was really, really great. The Alys Stephens Center and Mrs. Cash got a new fan.

It has a nice atmosphere. I have been to several shows at the Alys Stephens Center. Everything is always nice. They have good sound and lighting technician who handles the shows very well. I have not done many concerts there, but have been to ballets, kid shows and plays which were a great.

Were very lucky to have this beautiful venue in the Southside of Birmingham. The ASOs matinee performance of Beethovens Eroica was excellent, and the conductor and first clarinetist were kind enough to answer questions for our RMCS students. Fantastic experience.

There doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house! The acoustics are nearly perfect. We have attended many concerts and ballet performances at the Alys Stephens center. The performances have all been top quality. Ushers are always helpful. All of the staff I have interacted with have been kind.

I saw the Alabama Symphony Orchestra perform with special guest Steve Vai. Amazing doesnt seem to do justice to the performances that night. The sound was perfect with no distorted overtones just beautiful ambient reverb. I really enjoyed my evening there. Definitely worth it if you get a chance to go!

The Alys Stephens Center is simply a wonderful hall for entertainment. The folks working in the venue are friendly. The seating is comfortable and provides plenty of leg room. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Above this, the ASC brings in a large variety of artists to perform - from classical, to jazz, to Irish folk, to Japanese drums - and the groups never fail to provide entertainment and wonder. The ASC is a Birmingham treasure.

It is an A+ facility. 4 stars only because I attended the Anthony Hamilton concert with my boyfriend 10-11-19. My boyfriend is in a chair, this was his first A.H. concert. And his birthday present(September). I didnt like how our seating arrangement. He was basically in the isle... And I was seated what felt like below him. As I was two steps in a little balcony area... So we werent near enough together. This was not a proper /guest arrangement.

Review №21

Very nice venue with multiple performance rooms. While not exceptionally old, the history of the facility is interesting and will be told to interested groups touring the building for years to come. One of the rooms was intentionally sized small enough that traveling performance groups couldnt make a profit. They were trying to maintain a purity that is lost when the main concern is profit.

Love this venue! A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Brian McKnight here after a stellar concert. I had always wanted to see him perform, and the Alys Stephens Center was the perfect choice for such an intimate concert. My date and I loved the performance and the ambience. Ive also attended the annual Local Fest here, and a few other events and I cant say Ive ever had a bad experience. Cant wait to attend another event here soon!
