If you are looking for a place to enjoy a musical performance--stay as far way as you can. You will not hear music, you will hear noise. The acoustics are that bad. How bad? Nobody in the seats around me applauded (nor did I) when the performer finished a number. Not the singers fault...the venues, for not making the proper adjustments in its sound system. I asked for a refund (which was only a fraction of what I had spent to see this particular concert--Mary Blacks Farewell Tour) and of course did not receive one. The technical director told me he "agreed" with me, but could offer only an explanation, not a refund. I didnt need an explanation--the sound system stunk and that pretty much explains itself. So, be forewarned: the customer does not come first at the Academy of Music. The almighty dollar does.

Had tickets in the balcony for Dr. John. The acoustics up there were dreadful. Could barely make out what he was singing. I would assume the first floor acoustics were find. Just upstairs, there was no bass, and a very tinny vocal sound

Theater and concession area have been running much more smoothly now that its been under new management! The building is historic and beautiful on the inside, and worth a visit.

Great venue for lots of different shows, not totally handicapped-accessible and the concession stand is cash only, but still a wonderful spot for a night out.
