Benedum Center for the Performing Arts

A great place to see a show. Wonderfully restored old Theater. Everything has gone smooth every time I’ve been here. We saw Jason Isbell last night. A nice relaxing show. The drinks were great 👍🏻 Don’t hesitate to see a show here. There’s plenty of parking at local garages within walking distance. The ushers are extremely helpful. We had center seats 2nd tier

Excellent theater. Seats can be a little bit tight for taller individuals, but I was sitting high up possibly lower seats are more comfortable I am not sure. Beautiful theater very beautiful . Worth visiting just for the architecture and the place they put on our good value. I saw clue and it was a great play.

The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts is a truly remarkable venue that combines stunning beauty with a rich cultural legacy.

Originally opened in 1928 as the Stanley Theater, the Benedum Center has become a cornerstone of the city’s performing arts scene, hosting Broadway productions, concerts, ballet performances, opera, and community events year-round. In addition to its breathtaking design, the Benedum Center prides itself on delivering exceptional service and creating a welcoming environment for all guests. The venue is deeply committed to community access, offering educational programs, outreach initiatives, and opportunities for local artists to showcase their talent on a world-class stage. Whether you are attending a blockbuster musical, a symphony performance, or a special cultural event, the Benedum Center provides an experience that is as memorable as it is inspiring. Each visit promises not only world-class entertainment but also lasting memories steeped in history and artistic excellence.

I took my daughter’s to see Wicked. It was their first time seeing a musical there and they loved it all. The ushers were informative and helpful while also being kind. Beautiful theater, great experience, Wicked was incredible, can’t wait until we come back next time for another memory!

Nothing short of amazing. Bathrooms get a little crowded, but from the performance, to the comfy seats and kind staff, I don't think I'll be going anywhere else but the Benedum Center for Broadway now. And it's also beautiful, the old money aesthetic really goes well with it.

It was our 3rd year starting off the Christmas season with A Very Yinzer Christmas. This is an amazing show featuring various local musicians. The show benefits those on the autism spectrum some of who also perform. Mark this on your calendar for next year, you will not be disappointed.

I first saw the Lion King at this venue, back in 2019. That was life changing. More recently, I saw Hell's Kitchen in Oct 2025. The venue, for me, now holds the distinction of being the catalyst for my love of Broadway shows. While I'm not a fan of the upper levels as much, I must say the audio in the theater is superb! Even in the 'cheap seats', you feel the dynamics of the audio system and it immerses you in the show. Can't wait for the next show I'll be attending here - Les Miserables.

Such a gorgeous theater. No seats are bad. Great cocktails. Amazing sets, Lighting, orchestra, and more. They always bring in great shows. The picture I'm attaching is from the Wicked Tour 2026.
