I came here last weekend to see Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre perform The Great Gatsby. The show was wonderful with amazing cherography by John McFall and Lauri Stallings of Atlanta Ballet. What amazed me just as much was the beatuiful theatre the performance was shown in.
Built in 1927, the Benedum Center is awe-inspiring and magical. After following strict guidelines, the theatre was restored to its original grandeur in the 1980s. It is one of the most beautiful theatres I have been in. with over 90 chandeliers, and original mirrors and marble in the Grand Lobby.
My only word of caution, the seats in the upper balconies are extremely tight giving taller people very little leg room.
