My family and I love going to shows and the Benedum is one of our favorite venues. We always have…read moresuch a great time together. They keep it up really well and make sure that it is clean for every show. They also keep the chandeliers clean and the paint updated. The ushers are always helpful and the staff at the concessions are nice too. We have seen so many wonderful Broadway Shows and concerts there with so many talented performers. We're so lucky to have such amazing talent and so many amazing shows come to Pittsburgh every year. We're also starting to get some of the most popular and current shows from Broadway. The concerts are so much better there since it's a small venue and most seats are good seats. They have artists from all different genres which is nice too. We have also seen some good comedians there too. If you want to see a good show then you should see it at the Benedum.

I used to regularly attend City Theatre performance but reduced my support over the past few years…read more I won't be going back to any performances at City Theatre until there is a major change in leadership. I saw Hedwig at Greer Cabaret Theatre on Sunday. They changed the script to include Pittsburgh references but decided to leave in the line "and the colored girls sing..." in reference to Lou Reed's song Walk on the Wild Side. There were millions of other lines they could have chosen to reference Rock N Roll culture. Why choose this line? Why have white actors say that line? Regardless of who Lou Reed was referencing in the song, describing people as "colored" has a very specific meaning in the context of the United States history. Furthermore, he has omitted the word "colored" from the song and has other questionable songs in regards to race. City Theatre is comprised of a predominantly white board, white staff, and this show was primarily white actors with a largely white audience. I reached out on Sunday and asked for them to refund my tickets. I have not heard back from them.

I love the Greer and that we have an option for this type of venue in the area…read more The space was recently renovated and has a neat art deco look/feel to it. There is a variety of programming offered from cabaret style solo performances to smaller scale musicals. There are seating options in booths, tables and a raised platform in the back. you can really see/hear well from anywhere in the venue, but the side booths you might lose some perspective. i don't particularly like the new QR code ordering because it can make it hard to actually ask questions about anything (and the servers are so busy it is hard to catch them to ask).. there are a variety of food and drink choices (apps and entrees) and they are on the more pricey side, but that is to be expected at this type of venue. Overall, a great place to catch a show!

The Ambiance was just perfect with seating immediately in front of the stage, (literally at arms length), and the tables behind there where the cast comes through!! It was somewhat interactive. We saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! It was more than I expected to say the least!!!! Simply AMAZING The entrance was easy to come in, the bar was beautiful and the Theater is easy to navigate. Clean venue and clean bathrooms with table service and food menu.

This a beautiful, modern and accessible theatre. The Public puts on a variety of plays (and…read moreoccasional musical) every season. They also host special events and educational opportunities (like the annual Shakespeare competition). It is easy to access the theater, and there are a variety of seating options (including two sections of seats at the sides of the stage). They have accessibility aids like assistive listening devices. Restrooms are clean and spacious. The only down side is that the theater seats are on the smaller side. If you have a larger body, it may be a tight squeeze into the seats. This kind of thing is really disappointing in a new(ish) theater. But overall, high quality productions and a great place to see a show.

We selected this beautiful venue for our wedding reception for several reasons…read more This venue offers a blank canvas to allow a bride, groom or party planner the ability to paint and design your vision into a reality. You are permitted to select any vendors, rental equipment, bartenders and other support staff for this venue. We loved this! We worked with Sarah Cowing, Production Coordinator for the planning, contract issuance, billing, etc. majority of the questions we had. She provided any restrictions and other particulars regarding the venue along the way. She was point for vendors deliveries too. She remained on site during our rental period and setup the day before; monitoring and helping as needed ensuring all rules were followed. She also helped with chairs, provided carts and other direction as needed. We were grateful for the Flex Time she permitted during setup. Thanks a bunch! Mr. Phil Irvin: We cannot say enough great things about Mr Irvin. He was an absolute star! We were so glad he was assigned to be our onsite contact for the day of! He was also our point at the final walk through and was there to answer any questions we had about the layout. He was everything to us the day of our wedding reception. He was extremely knowledgeable and ensured everything flowed smoothly! He gave us ideas, received all vendors, studied and ensured our itinerary was followed, made sure the parking was managed, ensured the wedding party was escorted in without guests seeing us, made sure we were fed upon arrival from wedding photos, and remained at our side as the bride and groom the entire night! Guided clean you name it. He quickly worked with our points to resolve any issues that arose. We were soo thankful for him, his support and services! We could not have done it without him! Sir, you are a gem! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything! Everyone echoed the same sentiments! Rules and other helpful info we wanted to share are as following. The price to rent this venue includes tables and chairs (although we rented banquet tables) a wood bar station, warming kitchen and a day of assistant. Our rental included 12 hours plus 1 additional hour for clean up. * Capacity - The venue can seat 200 guests in a dinner-style set up and 300 guests in a cocktail hour style set up * Setup/breakdown - You and your vendors can drop off items the day before your event, but if you want to do any decorating or hold a rehearsal there, they charge an additional hourly rate of $400 ph for the hours you're in the building or $1450.00 for 4 hours. They prefer for your rental time period to be during their business hours with the latest time permitted for rental for a Friday as an example being no later than 4:30pm so staff could be present. They prefer for all personal items to be removed from the building at the end of the night following your event but do make exceptions to hold them until Monday morning if they've been gathered into one area and all food and gifts have been removed. * Dance floors are only permitted if you are renting one. They do not allow anything directly on the floor with tape or glue. Vinyl flooring or anything directly on the floor is not permitted. * They do have restricted items and they will share those with you in your contract. * You will be provided with free access to a social table app to design the room to meet your configuration and they will ensure the tables are setup to meet your specification's. It was the best! We highly recommend this beautiful and vintage venue neatly tucked in the Strip District. We hope that our tips provided can help others in their event planning. Thank you Pittsburgh Opera team! Our reception was an absolute dream!

I'm happy to say that the performance exceeded my expectations. It was very easy to pick up our tickets at the box office before the show. Upon entering the Benedum we went to see where our seats were. We were in Orchestra Right Center Row R. They were great seats as it was very easy to read the subtitles at the top of the screen. The performance was well rehearsed and kind of funny in parts. I loved how they made me feel like the boat was actually moving through water on the stage. The orchestra was great and probably never gets enough credit for their hard work. For my first trip to the Opera, I would say it was a success. Great job Pittsburgh Opera!

Went to this concert venue for the first time Saturday night to see Thievery Corporation, and what…read morea great night! Love this small venue. Parking wasn't bad - we found something across the steeet (on street parking). There's also a lot behind the place. I'm guessing this fills up, fast, but we got there fairly early. They opened the doors on time - at 7pm - and we weren't in line too long waiting for our ID check and wrist band (they could use more than *one* poor guy doing this, btw). I don't love this segregated/upcharge thing most venues seem to be doing nowadays, but at least the general admission SRO areas in this place have decent views. We grabbed a spot just behind the sound/lighting guys in the middle of the GA area. One note --- our friends who bought into the standing area right by the stage ended up joining us 1/2 way through, because they said the audio was blasting them. The place is nicely restored; has a good bar area with a better drink selection than many places we've tried in Pittsburgh. Hubs & I each got a hazy IPA, and he also got a big pretzel (which was ok - a bit too doughy for my taste). WOWZER those 3 things were expensive: **$43**!!! We decided to consider it a donation, so places like this can stay open, but oooffff. $$$$$$$$ Sound, lights were great. Staff were friendly. We'll definite be back.

We came to town for the annual RV show and wanted to make the most of our time in Homestead. Being…read morehuge fans of live entertainment, we decided to buy tickets to see Godfrey perform. We opted for the 930p show so that we could do dinner nearby, beforehand. The tickets said doors open at 915p for the 930p show. After we found parking (a lot of congestion and limited parking nearby the venue), we made our way to the theatre where a line was already forming. The venue didn't start letting us in until 945p and the show didn't start until 1030p. Our server was a huge let down. We had been seated for a good 15 mins before she was able to come to the table and take our drink order. Drinks took a while, but that's to be expected with the number of folks being taken care of. However, the biggest issue is that our server didn't stop back to our table until halfway through the show. At which point , I asked her for two waters. She walked by our table six times, but never did bring our waters. I grabbed her and asked again for waters. No less than 15 minutes went by and she came to the table, no waters in hand, but said "it's last call. Do you guys need anything?". To which I replied, no thanks. I wasn't asking a third time for something I had originally asked for an hour earlier. Maybe she was new or having an off night but it definitely has a negative impact on our overall experience. The highlight of the show was Godfrey, himself. He was absolutely hysterical and we enjoyed every minute of his set.
