Alberta Bair Theater

We really enjoyed The Long Way Home performance that we saw. The theater is very nice and the seats are comfy. Parking was easy, although we went to a dress rehearsal so it was earlier in the day. Lots of great restaurants around the theater too! Made for a great afternoon and the Billings Symphony was really great. We are looking forward to going again in March!

We had the opportunity to see "Stomp" in January and next week we'll see "A Taste of Ireland". It's a beautiful venue, well kept and friendly staff. We love live theater!!

The show itself was great! Brad Williams the comedian was hysterical. The problem as the seats, there is no room at all. I'm not tall at all but I couldn't move my legs. They are small and close. I watched some rather large guys try to sit in the seats, and a few tall guys that had their knees practally in there chest. No room. I can only hope if you are ever going to do a remodel you address the sitting situation. OMG it's tight.

This is a great venue. There is always such a variety of talent that comes through. Very clean and pretty. The staff is always top notch.

Went to the Taylor Swift tribute concert and loved it! Everyone was so professional and nice before and during the show. I especially loved the woman handing out bracelets at the entrance. Sweetest lady ever!

When I went to a concert here, Jeremy Camp. The sound was awesome, the seating was a little tight, and the place is a little small but again great acoustics. The staff was very friendly, the biggest issue, not a lot of bathrooms, so don't wait, get in line early lol. Looking forward to another show!

I saw The Nutcracker this past weekend. The performance was outstanding. The actors and dancers were on their game. The experience was far better than I expected. About midway through the second act, someone got sick, and the performance was halted while staff cleaned up the mess. Aside from that, flawless show. Good atmosphere, polite staff, and a good drink selection that included alcohol. Great job!

The venue was overall a great experience. There is not a bad seat in the house. I only rated it 4 out of 5 because there were times when it got very hot in the auditorium. Not sure if it was due to the time of year and the heat being on or because we were in the back of the balcony. Other than that, we enjoyed our show.

We came here to see Stomp recently, and while the production was incredible and the staff was lovely and helpful, I am a woman of size and I also have fibromyalgia and lipedema, and the seats are so small! Uncomfortable and almost painful. It actually marred the experience so much that I may not come back. You have to do better. You shouldn't have to be thin to enjoy the theater and the symphony. Please put some wider seats in!

I've had the opportunity to perform at this theater for the past decade...this year the multi million dollar renovations have been completed it looks great! The cushy clean seats are new, the lobby is spacious and modernized, as well as well as everything backstage. The flooring is all new. The bathrooms are big and sparkling. Billings Montana isn't a big city, but they sure got themselves a nice theater for live entertainment.

Know before you go... Seats in the middle section on the main floor are a hike. Row B stretches a total of 30 seats, Row E = 40, Row = P a whopping 52 seats (that's 26 chairs to crawl over if you're in the middle). Once you are seated there will be no escape. Plan accordingly. We like the 'Loge' seats of the first balcony. Getting to the balcony also has its own learning curve. A) You can take an elevator all the way to the balcony (South side of building) or B) an elevator 1/2 way to the balcony followed by two flights of stairs - one down and then one up (North side of building). If you have ANY ticket in the balcony or loge - decide if you are a 'stair-taker' or an 'elevator-rider'. Stair-taker: head toward the North side of the building, take the elevator that only goes 1/2 way, followed by a set of stairs down to a landing followed by a different set of stairs up to the balcony. (Nope, we can't figure it out either.) Elevator-rider: head toward the South side of the building. The elevator on the South side of the building goes all the way to the balcony. Either way - enjoy the show!

I know they are trying to be right up town, but it's still montana. Their options for alcohol and snacks blow.

do not reccomm for a concert - not a concert venue for sure. Poor acoustics!!!! If on the main floor hard to see through blockade of guests. Very limited wheelchair seating options. And people are packed in like sardine. Probably better venue for show other than concerts.

Grateful to have a venue like this to bring performances like plays, musical performances, and even kid-friendly shows to town. We have seen a couple different shows here just in the 8 months or so we've lived here. I love how they bring a wide variety of shows, prices are reasonable, and concessions are available. We've always had tickets on the floor, and there doesn't seem to be a bad seat down there. Not sure what it's like up on the balcony. My only negative feedback would be that many of their shows that I would like to take my children to see, certain musicals and such, are shown in the middle of the week at 7pm. That's too late for kids to be out. I would love if they would try for more family-friendly matinee times on the weekends.

Tonight's performance by Jake Shimabukuro and Noah was absolutely amazing! He brought some aloha spirit to Billings, MT. Would love to attend future performances! Was like a trip down memory lane during his performance at times just like I was back home in my small kid time. Met with him to thank him for his amazing performance and for his autograph. He is super down to earth. Free street parking in the evenings. Friendly and helpful staff. Great venue!

Great remodel, but ticket holders for the seats in the middle of the rows on the main floor still have to trip over many feet to get to them. Poor planning to not have a middle aisle for the comfort of patrons, especially those of us senior citizens who have mild physical handicaps.

We bought special tickets in order to meet Todrick Hall and gotta say. Not again. Yes it was nice for my daughter to be able to talk to the makeup/costume manager but that is all you get to meet. And I don't count the sheep shoot to get a pic as actually meeting the performer. The show itself was great though, think next time we get that chance we'll go a row back just to see better. Last night with the Chinese dancers group, from what I saw the show was amazing. However I had Mrs Bobblehead, her granddaughter Jill-in-the-box and Mr suffering in front of us. My daughter and I had to switch at intermission just so she could see half of the show at least. The top balcony is for the birds!!!!! Maybe lower balcony is good, I don't know but upper should be avoided. As a side note, pay attention to when the show starts and don't be late. The group next to use showed up 2 songs in and really irritated everyone.

Nice little venue for shows - saw a country concert here in August, then David Sedaris a few months later.

OK, this is the second time. I was given a ton of grief because I had a difficult time buying tickets online for mumenschantz..... now attempting to buy tickets to Midori.....no fucking chance. Fix your damn app!

Great place to take in any show. Seating has long rows so I try to stay near an edge.
