A genuine palace of entertainment, the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham is the only operational stage left in the city’s erstwhile theatre district. The theater is a truly unsurpassed landmark of the Deep South. It was constructed in 1927 by Paramount to be the cinematic jewel of the company, a role it played magnificently until its sale and subsequent renovation in the late eighties. Since its reopening, the Alabama has hosted over 250 events annually, including concerts, theatrical performances, films and ballets.

The Alabama is most venerated for its visually stunning interior. Working to recapture the aesthetic of the venue’s late-twenties roots, the 1998 renovation adorned it with a beautiful vintage gold-leaf look, accented by crimson curtains and warm chandelier lighting. The Alabama boasts high domed ceilings and luxurious balconies in the 2,500-seat Main Auditorium and a majestically opulent Grand Lobby. It’s design instantly transports lucky bearers of Alabama Theatre concert tickets back to those long-lost days when strains of jazz music could be heard drifting by on every street corner in Birmingham.

From the splendid décor and acoustics, to the original Mighty Wurlitzer organ, which still resides in the auditorium, the magnetic effect of the theatre on musicians of all sorts is hardly surprising. The Alabama stage has supported (and continues to support) such acts as Iron & Wine, B.B. King, Norah Jones, and Elvis Costello, among countless others. It is a must-see for visitors and residents alike.

Whether you’re a music fan, an architectural aficionado, or have always been enchanted by the abundant musical and theatrical history of the south, The Alabama is celebrated as one of the best entertainment venues in the region. Experience its grandeur for yourself, from its auditorium, to its famous “Alabama” sign on the façade. Visit ConcertTickets.com to find concert tickets for the Alabama Theatre today!
