Academy of Music

A great venue extremely convenient to Northampton. They serve drinks and snacks which is nice. Be aware that it is extremely difficult to navigate the stairs once the lights go down, they are uneven, unlit and the interior steps have no handrails.

Theater is small and intimate so there really isn’t a bad seat in the house. We were way towards the back but still felt close to the stage. Balcony is sufficiently steep to see over people in front of you. Concessions were great and relatively cheap (cash only.) place is in the middle of town and a breeze to get in and out. Acoustics seemed fine, couldn’t make out the vocals for the life of me except for the songs I already knew (Psychedelic Furs and Royston Langdon). But it’s like that at every concert for me.

A beautiful older venue that is filled with classic charm. I've gone to a variety of shows and I found the acoustics are good, I was able pure the music and shows at every point from inside this venue. It's a historic part of Northampton and a lovely one. They have a diverse range of shows, they work to be inclusive, they partner with many different artists of different backgrounds.

What can I say about this wonderful place, with an amazingly friendly staff? Well, here I go: it’s beautiful; the sound is fantastic; the energy is great; the area is lovely; the aesthetics (especially the ceilings) are amazing. North Hampton is a fun place to visit - plenty of things to do and hear. The streets are alive with cool city vibes. Go see a show here - their calendar is always surprising, and filled with an eclectic mix of goodies. We’ll be back!
