Nice theatre with good acoustics & lighting. Only gripe is not enough legroom between rows. If you need more space then choose the box seating.

Wonderful venue you do not want to miss. The details in the architecture are so beautiful. Each time we have been there to hear the Memphis Symphony Orchestra has been an experience of pure enjoyment. A Memphis treasure... especially if you remember Harris Auditorium.

The show was nice ,I was looking for Leela James to do a little better then she did. Willie Clay,Calvin Richardson and Reheem was great. The host top it off. The seats are very close it was no social distance at all. I stayed mask up. I really enjoyed the guest I sit next too they were nice and fun.

Attended the Memphis Mixer concert. It was an excellent choice. I really enjoyed the live music. The Cannon Center was a good location, but was told that I was in the wrong seats by the usher, TWICE because they didn't know the seating. 🤷🏾

Wonderful experience to hear Tchaikovsky's piano concerto no 1. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. The music was great and an excellent experience.

A great place to see a concert or play. Parking is across the street. Seating was great at the VIP section in the orchestra area. We went to seen Home Free it concert they are wonderful. If you are a bigger person you will need VIP seating or the wide chairs on the balcony on the right side as your facing the stage. God Bless.

The Cannon Center has always been a wonderful venue to visit for shows. Last month my daughter’s dance group attended the Great Russian Nutcracker and it was outstanding. The building was clean and easy to navigate with parking very close by.
Great location with friendly staff!
