We attended the Mobile Symphony at the Saenger Theater. Excellent acoustics and lines of sight from almost everywhere. Our big complaint is the lack of an elevator. The least expensive seats are therefore not accessible if you have mobility issues.

Went to see Colin Rae and Sammy Kershaw, performers were ok, but the people were drunk, crowd standing in the aisles, drunk, security guards were older than Ruth Ginsberg, and went about 350lbs each, could tell Colin cut the show short due to safety concerns, sound was terrible, mics kept cutting out, people talking and gabbing, couldn’t enjoy the show, big cluster duck

Collin Raye, Sammy Kershaw and their band were outstanding at the concert on 3/5/22. The audience was terrible. Drunk people talking and chatting constantly...I could hardly hear what Collin and Sammy were saying. The venue served alcohol and kept on serving it...that was a bad decision. The security was woefully inadequate...I could have provided better security. Police wanded us in the entrance to the concert, but they did not come in the venue. They should have. Seeing sloppy drunk 50-60 year olds is just plain embarrassing, and I felt bad for the performers. At the end when so many people rushed the stage, it was an unsafe situation for Collin, Sammy and the band. I will never go to a concert at the venue again. I traveled from Minnesota to see this concert. Sadly, the Mobile audience was quite ill-behaved. and the decision to serve alcohol impacted my ability to thoroughly enjoy the concert.
Apologies to Sammy, Collin, Shaunna, Clinton and the other performers in the Roots and Boots band. You all deserved better that the Saenger and drunken crowd gave you.

We thoroughly enjoyed attending a concert at the Saenger Theater in Mobile. The facility was clean, accessible, not overcrowded and staff were so sweet! I would really like to put this on my watch list for concerts and other productions.

The theatre offered good unobstructed views of the stage. The acoustics were good. The seating was also comfortable with adequate room between the rows of seats. The screening on entering the theatre was efficient and fast.

Saenger Mobile is another great location to enjoy entertainment comfortably and at a reasonable price. Saenger Mobile is conveniently located to many great restaurants in Mobile. The venue is perfect for an intimate evening enjoying a favorite artist or play. Great place!

We saw Leon Bridges in concert here. This is a perfectly sized theater. A good sized staged and the right amount of seating. Great views and the acoustics are good too. I really liked the history of the place too. We will return for other shows for sure.

Performance of Carmina Burana was exceptional and the acoustics good. I chose the balcony central seating, best seats in the house in my opinion although legroom is tight if you're my height (5'10'') or over. They do a great job with imperfect surroundings.

First time in Mobile and I saw Brothers Osborne at the Saenger. I had Orchestra seats on the main floor and they were fantastic. Great view of the stage. The people working at the Saenger for sec unity were great and it's an easy spot to get to from the Highway. I would definitely go back! If the big lot for parking is the Saenger's consider lowering the price a bit. I thought $10 was kind of steep.

A gorgeous old (100 years?) baroque theater of the type that isnt' built anymore. Beautifully restored and in tip-top shape. We worried that acoustics would be compromised in a venue this old, but that was not the case at all. Bob Dylan concert exceeded expectations in all ways. I noticed one reviewer complained about having to take a pocket knife back to his car, but for us this is a plus -- I LIKE knowing the people around me aren't carrying weapons! Security procedure was quick and efficient, all theater staff friendly and professional.
