    Benedum Center is a premiere performing arts venue. With one of the largest unobstructed stages in the country, they can hold any show. Fantastic facilities with great sightlines from all levels. Situated in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District, Benedum Center is a showpiece just steps from parking, wonderful restaurants, galleries and other nightlife.

    Absolutely gorgeous, very good experience overall. However it's somewhat difficult to maneuver around inside if you have a wheelchair or crutches. Very limited seating (maybe 5 chairs that are behind closed doors) on ground entry level/lobby, tiny elevator, narrow steps and lots of them as well as odd inclines/slopes. They also shut down very quickly after the final performance; people were still in the restrooms as ushers were asking them to hurry. No outside food or drink permitted so do not bring leftovers from a fancy dinner --it will be thrown out.

    Our evening out was wonderful. We greatly appreciated the new addition to the Benedum! The new bathrooms were a must, so thank you for that! We both had coffee, one plain and one with Baileys. The lady who helped us was very kind. Great night out. The Motown show was wonderful, exciting and filled with great music preformed by some very talented folks. Thank you

    Seat was row N and had a front and center view of the stage. Acoustics were good and subtitles are a nice addition to the opera.
    Classy, definitely date night suitable, parking is across the street. Served alcoholic drinks and intermission was short. Will call was efficient but line was out the door 5 minutes to curtain. Once the show starts, the ushers will seat you in the back until intermission.

    Where else can you see such great opera performances around here!? Also the drinks are much more reasonably priced than at the stadiums 😆

    I remember this theater as the Warner. It is majestic inside, with lots of wow factor architecture. It warms my heart to see this beautiful building in all its splendor. Great choices of venue and not a bad seat in the house.

    This venue is absolutely beautiful! There are a few parking garages nearby. There are quite a few places to grab some food nearby as well. Drinks here are somewhat expensive but the bartenders are always great. The new bar area upstairs is beautiful. Patrons of this establishment are a different story. Every time we go people are dressed very casually.very. People talk during the show and are on their phones. Sadly as a whole people are becoming incredibly rude and self centered. Once we had to express our concern with an usher. When we went back to our seats the rude woman started to complain nonstop about who said something. We had to move our seats. Amazing place and amazing performance but the audience can ruin the experience.

    Magnificent old-time "theatre palace" lovingly restored. Decent acoustics, great sight-lines, even up in the "nose-bleed" seats. Seats comfortable if a little tight for today's stouter audiences. Staff very polite, personable & helpful. Pleasant experience.

    Yet another awesome place in the cultural district. I can't recommend the Benedum enough! I highly suggest becoming a member of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, they will keep you informed of all the amazing shows that come through Pittsburgh and give you early access to tickets as well!

    Very nice venue. I saw the Book of Mormon here, and sat two rows from the very top on the second level and didn't have an issue seeing or hearing the play. It's located in the heart of downtown, so it's also easy access to bars and restaurants that I would suggest checking out as well!

    Beautiful theater. A nice (though not in keeping with the rest of the facility aesthetically) bar and extra restrooms were added to the second floor. A couple of good beers. Very nice acoustics, very historical feel to the facility. Very professional staff. Have seen lots of shows here, very nice every time.
