Our city is so lucky to have a community theater group of such a high caliber as Billings Studio…read moreTheater. I have attended a number of their productions over the last four years; and while I can't say that I liked every one of them, all were presented with the greatest of sincerity and dedication of both cast and production team. Last night I attended Billings Studio's production of "The Drowsy Chaperone". To say that I was "wowed" would be understating my feelings. The quality of this production is far above what is usually expected in a city the size of Billings. The cast is uniformly superb. Special mention must be made of Vint Lavender's performance as The Man in the Chair. Humor, pathos, and ultimately great sadness are all part of this complex character, obviously a gay man who never made it out of the closet, and who is now alone with only his showtunes and a vivid imagination for company. I cannot urge theater goers strongly enough to get out and see this play before it goes away. It is, simply, too good to miss.

We came here to see Stomp recently, and while the production was incredible and the staff was…read morelovely 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…read moremillion 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.

Musical performance is fine, acoustics improved greatly of course over high school auditorium, but…read moreunderstand that they, Billings Symphony, not Alberta Bair, nor any civic mandate, makes you wear a face panty. Why? Well they are the quintessential, sanctimonious-shaming, virtue-signaling nanny state, limo lefty types. The Marin County/Bozeman dwellers, Whole Foods shopping, PBS-watching supercilious Move On.org/Hate Has No Home Here sect. As someone who loves classical music, went to college in the northeast and lived in major coastal cities, I've endured these people my whole life. Here's the gist, you have to tolerate them, and everything they espouse, even though they will in no way tolerate you. You should have seen the look on the fat broad's face when I turned and said as I was walking in, "you mean they are making me wear a face panty to this?" She just glared at me for daring to object. They're petty tyrants, and you have to sit there and accept that if you want to go hear some classical in Billings like what, three nights a year. Whatever.

Excellent classical and pops music by a full complement of orchestra and chorale members…read more Performances are typically at the Alberta Bair Theater, downtown Billings - the premier performance venue in town. With many hotels and restaurants within walking distance (downtown), the Billings Symphony is a wonderful asset to Billings. NYE with Rockapella.....Swing Concert in February.......Carmina Burana in April! And ticket prices are less than $55, with many tickets in the $25-$35 range. This is a must-see (hear).
