The Benedum Center, originally the Stanley Theatre, is a lavishly restored 1920s movie palace that now serves as Pittsburgh's premier venue for touring Broadway shows, concerts, and dance performances. Its ornate lobby, gilded ceilings, and 2,800-seat auditorium evoke the golden age of cinema. Visitors can enjoy the grandeur of the architecture while watching a show, from the intricate plasterwork to the massive chandelier. The center's distinctive blend of historic ambiance and modern productions makes it a cultural landmark in the city's Cultural District.

Don't miss

  • Admire the ornate lobby with its gilded moldings, marble floors, and crystal chandeliers.
  • Catch a touring Broadway production, such as 'Hamilton' or 'The Lion King'.
  • Look up at the auditorium's ceiling, painted to resemble a starry night sky.
