This is my favorite place to see a show in Pittsburgh. Whether its inside or outside the sound quality if always excellent, the experience is intimate, the lighting is great, and the shows are never over-sold to the point where you can't move. Not to mention that Stage AE is in a really centrally located and convenient location. The only reason I am not giving Stage AE a full five stars is because I feel that the drink prices here are a touch too inflated.
