Benedum Center Seating

Has anyone here ever seen a show in Pittsburgh's Benedum Center? I was hoping to get some opinions on which seating options there are the best before the tickets come out!

If it matters, the show I am planning to see is the national tour of An American in Paris!

On a side note as well; does anyone know where the stage door is? Thanks in advance!

The Benedum is wider than deep, but the Mezz is really high. Orchestra Center and Orchestra Center Left and Orchestra Center Right closer to the center aisle are the best. The far sides are not the greatest up close, but toward the rear are ok.

Directors Circle is the best, but usually go to subscribers. First tier Mezz is as high I would go, but depending on price it's up to you, they're just high in 2nd tier Mezz so you look down on the stage.

This also hinges on the setup for the show touring.

The stage door is around the corner from the main entrance on Liberty across from the Wood Street T Station and is clearly marked.

Hope this helps

I agree Director's Circle is the best. I sit up in the 2nd tier a lot for shows I'm not majorly invested in and I don't think it's that high.

When I go to the Benedum, I try to sit within the first 20 rows of the orchestra - doesn't matter how far left or right as long as you don't end up in the furthest two strips of seats. All sightlines are great. It's just a really big space but not as bad as some other usual touring houses.

I was in the rear orchestra when I was there. I did not like the view or the sound that night.
