The Midland Theatre is downtown Kansas City’s historic 1927 movie-palace-turned-concert-venue, located in the Power & Light District. Approximately 2,800 seats in a restored ornate historic theater, programmed year-round for touring concerts, comedy, and special events. For visitors attending a Midland show, the venue’s historic character is distinctive — and full accessibility has been baked into the restoration throughout.
How We Serve Midland Theatre Visitors
Scooter delivery lands at your downtown Kansas City hotel ahead of your check-in. Every major downtown hotel is walkable/rollable to the Midland: Loews, Marriott Downtown, Hilton President, Hotel Savoy, Hotel Indigo, 21c, Hampton Inn Crossroads, and Crossroads Hotel are all within 2-10 blocks.
Accessibility at The Midland
The historic restoration brought the 1927 venue to current ADA standards:
- Accessible entry with ramped/level approach
- Accessible seating on the main orchestra floor with companion spots
- Elevator access to balcony and upper-level seating
- Accessible restrooms at multiple locations
- Accessible bar and concessions on the main floor
- Accessible box office
Popular shows sell accessible seats first — reserve early if the venue is showing a high-demand performance, and request specific accessible placements that accommodate a scooter (some accessible spots are in-aisle, some are dedicated spaces at section ends; the ticket office can clarify).
Performance Calendar
The Midland programs across genres:
- Touring concert acts (rock, pop, country, hip-hop, alternative)
- Comedy headliners
- Occasional theatrical performances and musicals
- Special screenings and events
AEG Presents operates the venue; check their calendar for current bookings.
