Rentals
There’s a particular ache in standing outside a beautiful old room like the Midland, knowing the show is about to start, and doing the math on whether you can make the walk from the garage to your seat without it costing you the whole night. The 1927 details overhead deserve better than to be rushed past while you catch your breath. With a charged scooter waiting at your downtown hotel, that worry goes away. You roll the few blocks through Power & Light, into the historic lobby, and settle in well before the lights go down.
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 stands out, and the restoration made the whole building accessible.
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, 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 for a high-demand performance, and ask for accessible spots with room for a scooter. (Some accessible spots are in-aisle and some are dedicated spaces at section ends. The ticket office can tell you which.)
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.
Pairing With Your KC Trip
With a downtown hotel stay and Power & Light District dining: pre-show dinner in Power & Light, then a 1-block roll to the theater.
With other downtown entertainment: the Midland is 2 blocks from T-Mobile Center, and visitors staying several nights often see shows at both venues.
With Crossroads nightlife: after the show, roll or rideshare south to Crossroads bars and restaurants.
