Alabama Theatre
The Alabama Theatre in Birmingham was constructed in 1927 as an original Paramount Theater and offered motion pictures and weekly screenings of the Mickey Mouse Club show. Throughout its history, it has become a major event venue for the historic Birmingham region offering classic movies, concerts and live theatrical performances. Today, the multi-purpose facility hosts 300 events and has 2,500 seats available. More than 500,000 spectators each year come to see everything from
The Sound of Music
to
The Wizard of Oz
and
Gabriel Iglesias
. The best Alabama Theatre tickets are available at StubHub.
The Alabama Theatre provides amazing seats for all attendees, including floor choices and balcony seating. When viewing motion pictures, the best seats for patrons are in the center of the theatre, as the seats won't place viewers too close to the screen, but eliminate the unwanted interference of others getting up and walking around in front of them. When taking in a live production or concert, the balcony seats are incomparable. The Balcony Q offers the best seating in the theatre and gives patrons a full view from all angles.
The Metro Birmingham buses provide public transportation via their 280, 22 and 39 lines. The city of Birmingham has several public and private cab companies that provide transportation to and from the Alabama Theatre.
