They have THE BEST shows ever. Don't miss Wicked , The Nutcracker (in Dec.) or other similar shows. Always a delight to be here 🎈🎈🎈

George Maier

Stunning theater , the architecture looks similar to the theater in the original King Kong. The sound is awesome. Each year an amazing Pink Floyd tribute band 'Brit Floyd ' plays here. PF fans must go!

Ive only been here about 4 times, but each time was memorable. Great shows. Great talent. Always worth it.

The Benedum is such a grand performance hall with old-style grandeur and modern amenities and production tech. Sight lines are great everywhere. I always love seeing performances there.

The cheap seats in the very back row at the top of the house are my new favorite place. No leg room, so make sure you choose seats on the aisle. Sat in the center section, could see the stage no prob.

Great Venue. We organized a group outing to see the Nutcracker and got a behind the scenes tour of the Benedum. We can't wait to see Wicked again.

When called the Stanley Theater I saw the last 2 shows here Ted Nugent and Kiss. Days apart and plaster fell from the ceiling during the bass solo by Gene Simmons.

Before it was known as the Benedum Center, The Stanley Theatre had the distinction of being the largest movie theater in Western Pennsylvania.

Doug Ray

Fun fact: Once called the Stanley Theater , it is where Reggae legend Bob Marley performed his last live show.

Sit at least ten rows back. Beautiful theater . Nice seats. Great legroom.

Eat at Tambellini's before (or after) your show. Great Italian food and an even better atmosphere right across the street from the theater .
