    We went to the Benedum Center to experience Wicked and what an experience it was....we had seats in the Director's Circle...the isle was roomy enough for my long legs and seats (end seats) were comfy...everything about the performance was awesome...the costumes...the scenery...the music...the actors...such beautiful voices...such talent....if you have the chance to get tickets...DO IT!!!! You won't regret it....

    I came here to see The Nutcracker. I only made it through the first half because I quickly realized that Ballet is not my thing. The stage was beautiful and the dancers were also. The drink prices weren't too bad. I bought a large cup of albanese gummy bears for 7$. The price is high but they gave you a large amount. The whole building is stunning, there are chandeliers everywhere. I recommend checking it out!

    Went here to see the Nutcracker ballet. The building is gorgeous! There are plenty of refreshment options, including alcohol, and the prices are reasonable. I'll definitely go again, even if ballet isn't really my thing.

    Beautiful Theater we went to see the Opera had great seats I think anywhere you seat in the Theater would be great. Lots of staff to help you to your seats. Bathrooms are clean, they have stands set up with drinks and snacks to buy. Nice place to see a concert or Opera.

    I love a night at the Benedum. The outside and inside are beautiful. It's easy to enjoy a show at any seat, but this theater does have a cozy feel. Ticketing process is quick and easy with digital tickets you can add to your Apple wallet. There are always a ton of people there, but it never feels too chaotic entering or leaving. I like that they have beverages available to enjoy including beer and wine that you can sip during the show. They come with easy to use lids which sounds like a small thing, but makes me more likely to enjoy a beverage if I know I'm not going to spill red wine on my nice theater-going outfit. There are parking garages located all around or you can try to score street parking for free after 6 pm.

    NO WORKING ELEVATOR ( Oct 31 2025) !!! Even when the elevator operates, it is slow and carries 6. Benadum could EASILY install a new elevator to go from lobby to second floor. This facility should not hold an occupancy permit without an elevator The theater itself is very nice

    Here for the chandelier drop event and so many other performances now and we just LOVE the Benedum Center and seeing shows here. The Sound of Music, Guys and Dolls, Moulin Rouge, Straight No Chaser, A Magical Cirque Christmas, and many more. Every time we love being here and the care we get by the staff and volunteers here. One of the best if not the best theatre in town. Heads up don't take any of the side seats as many have restricted views. Yuck. Anyways that's about all of it. Best place to come for a show.

    This place is simply breathtaking. The history when you walk through the doors and the way it makes you feel as you go down the stairs is really astounding. The grand chandelier in the theater is gorgeous. The craftsmanship that went into the architecture of this place must have taken so much thought and detail to complete. The show was pretty good. But the costumes were AMAZING AND SO ERA ACCURATE! I had never been to the opera before but I will be back. I can't wait to see another show.

    Great place to see a concert! Not a bad seat in the house! The sound is amazing! The people who work there are very friendly and welcoming! If you want to have libations.. do so before you get there, prices are steep!

    Saw Moulin Rouge twice in the last week.  Highly recommend.

    Do I love every show ... No. Do I love my seats ... YES Is it a pre-scheduled "date" 6 months in advance ... YES COVID took its toll on all of us. I missed the theater. As a season ticket holder, I was very sad to park on level 8 of Theater Square garage, BUT very happy to see the theater filled to the rafters not once but twice for Moulin Rouge. Having never seen the movie, I didn't know what to expect. Never thought Christina Aguilera's Lady Marmalade would be the opening song (expected at intermission or end). I love Rock of Ages, so of course I loved Moulin Rouge. NOTE: I am NOT a fan of online snack/beverage ordering. Service fee AND automatic tip. Got me once never again. The $4 16 oz water is also ridiculous. The specialty drink for Moulin Rouge was $15. You CAN ORDER your snacks/beverages before the show without using the app - just stand in line - will be waiting for you on the bar at intermission.

    Went for the first time earlier this week. Loved it. Parking was easy to find as there is a parking garage within a 5 min walk. Staff was so friendly with helping me find will call and the section that the tickets were in.

    Very clean, accommodating establishment to watch plays and musicals. Make sure you get a parking pass though it's well worth the money

    Got some very last minute tickets day of for Beetlejuice. You really cannot tell on the map how good your seats will be - our seats were pretty great despite being in row O on the orchestra floor. The theatre was clean, the energy high, and the ushers so friendly. Thank you for a wonderful evening out!

    I am 5 foot 1 inch, does anyone know if I will be able to see a musical sitting in row aa orchestra?

    Hi Antonia, yes, but not well or comfortably (I'm also 5'1"). And you'll have great difficulty seeing anything further back on the stage, (if anything) like against a backdrop. What you'll see is about a couple feet from the edge. And be prepared… Read more

    Does anyone know how the seats are? I have a tall friend that finds it uncomfortable if the seats are too close to each other? I've been here and have never felt uncomfortable but I'm not overly tall. Thanks for any help

    I am 5'8" and they are not the most roomy seats but it's doable. They are close together however

    Finally, I've been introduced to the New Hazlett Theater! I recently attended two of their shows…read morewithin two weeks. Well, more accurately, I attended one show and one run-through of an in-progress script. But together they were a great introduction to the kind of programming performed at the New Hazlett. I thought their production of "12 Angry Men" was a well-acted example of how a great creative team can breathe new life into a classic and well-known story; while the run-through was an excellent example of how the New Hazlett supports artists and new shows in the making. The space itself isn't fancy (which isn't a bad thing!) and both times I purchased tickets, seating was "first come first serve." There were stadium-style seats set up in three sections, so there was plenty of space for attendees and it was fairly easy to find a good spot. "12 Angry Men" in particular highlighted to me how there are seemingly no bad seats at the New Hazlett! I'll also note that my experiences are fairly minimal, since the New Hazlett Theater showcases a range of performance styles and hosts various events throughout the year. It's a bustling space that we're lucky to have, and which I hope people continue to support in 2025 and beyond. I'll certainly be keeping a closer eye on their productions moving forward!

    Great theatre on the North Side. It's cozy and inviting…read more Several of my friends are local theatre performers and actors and often I get to see their works here. I get really excited to be invited to a play or other event here because it's such an appealing venue to soak in the culture and art of dance, acting, music and more.

    First, we love the Greer as a setting for shows, are longtime regular attenders and have no issues…read morewith any performance we've ever seen there. This review is focused on the service aspects, which are less than optimal. We attended on a Thursday night when we saw an excellent 1-man play of Die Hard. The entertainment was highly enjoyable, but the food and table service were frustrating. We came an hour early with a plan to enjoy dinner before the show. They don't have anyone who will wait on you - they force you to use their QR code at the table to order. Most of their dinner options were marked as "out of stock", so we were corralled into ordering a burger or a pasta dish. Those items were very good, but we didn't like the railroading aspect. Post-delivery service was limited, to even get extra mayo - the food deliverer dumped and ran in a flash. Trying to talk to the nice elderly ushers was fruitless with no satisfaction involved. When we had questions about the food, ours even amicably acknowledged that we ''couldn't talk to'' the waitresses. Worst of all - the invoicing included an un-changeable 20% tip! So if you ordered a 2nd drink, 20% was also added on top of that. (To have some sense of control, I went to the outside bar to get our 2nd drinks - and did tip, but not 20%). The frustration factor of how the food service is run and charged for inserted unnecessary challenges into the otherwise pleasant mood for the evening.

    The EASY Checkin and the CLOSE SEAT PROXY was just enough!!!…read more I loved the staff and the QR code menu. 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.
