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!

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 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.

I found this to be the closest and least expensive for the Benedum. Ticket office - the staff are very friendly. I have done everything from having my tickets mailed home, to purchasing and picking up in person at the box office. They are always great. Security is so smooth and fast now! You only get searched if the detector goes off. Just don't bring in anything you shouldn't and you will be good to go. There is typically a gift shop right at the entrance. For The Nutcracker, they have it very organized. I have been in and out of the line very quickly. There are so many restrooms throughout the Benedum. I found the largest ones to be on the basement level and the 2nd floor where the large bar is. Bar- drink prices are really not outrageous. I typically get prosecco. They pour it in a plastic cup with a lid so you can take it to your seat with you. Lastly- all the seats Ive sat in are amazing. The Benedum is such a great venue to see a show. I highly recommend it. I will be back for sure!

Even though we were quite early for the show, there was no one around, directing us in terms of where to park and it was quite confusing, being that we had never been there before. We ended up getting very turned around and Wound up 3 miles away from the theater again after passing it... That's our fault, but still better signage would be helpful. The other reason is that, as somebody with a visual impairment, the theater is quite hard to navigate. There is incredibly little space in between each row of seats, and as somebody with a vision impairment, and being plus sized, that can be a very big challenge when it comes to navigating during the appropriate times during our visit. Again, though, those are just our experiences with the venue... This rating does not at all reflect the performance, because it was 10 stars if that is an option! The venue is beautiful and it's definitely a piece of beautiful Pittsburgh history. Just a few touchups could be made! Keep doing amazing things, PMT!

Every seat feels incredibly close to the stage--so close it seems like you could reach out and touch the actors. The theater is set "in the round," creating an intimate experience where you're fully immersed in the performance. I've sat in many different sections throughout the theater, and the acoustics are consistently outstanding. No matter where you sit, you can hear every word clearly and feel completely connected to the story. The O'Reilly Theater is truly a special place and a must-visit for anyone who loves live theater.
