Judson’s Live is a dynamic music room in the Dr. Phillips Center with intimate, cabaret-style seating for up to 175 people. In 2025, DownBeat Magazine named Judson’s one of “The World’s Top Jazz Venues.” Modeled on legendary listening rooms of the world, Judson’s intimate scale mixes with larger-than-life sound, bringing “unheard-of listening experiences,” for Grammy-winning icons, and beloved local acts can perform with stellar acoustics. Stages provided theatre planning, acoustics and audio-visual design consulting for Judson’s Live, which opened in 2024.
