Saw One Night in Miami yesterday evening at the City Theatre Company in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. The actors were superb and the brilliantly-delivered script was both thought-provoking yet peppered with comic one-liners. At one stage I was moved to tears. The Theatre is easily accessible and the seats are comfortable, each row offering a generous view of the stage. Recommended.
We saw One Night in Miami (playing through December 1) -- Dont miss this play. It is really a wonderfully written and acted piece of theater. The actor who played Sam Cooke had a gorgeous, rich voice. The actor who played Mohammed Ali captured the pitch of his personality perfectly -- truly the Greatest! The actors portraying Malcolm X and Jim Brown were well cast and also excellent, excellent, excellent. The play just worked so well to provide the essence of the era and the personalities. Again NOT TO BE MISSED. The set is also amazing!
Attended Cambodian Rock Band with my wife & son. Excellent performance by the cast. Very dynamic and moving story. Well Done City Theater!
I have been seeing plays here for over 6 years now and Im always impressed. The stories and the actors are wonderful.
The City Theater always has quality plays. Its nice to go a bit early and have coffee and a sweet cookie before the play. Everyone involved is over the top welcoming.
City Theatre the courage and creativity to take on new plays. Love it!
Excellent. The venue isnt giant but it is old and well taken care of. Theres a small area as you walk in for drinks before the show.
Creative, often avante-garde, new plays. Tonights performance was well acted, but the storyline was a bit disjointed while at the same time thought provoking.
As far as the venue and the staff, everything is great here. Prices are reasonable and the theatre always offers a couple “pay what you want” price nights for those that can’t afford the full ticket. I’d recommend catching a show when you can!
We have been subscribers to the City Theatre for over 20 years. We love the seasonal subscription because it forces us to take a date night at least once per month. We generally get dinner on the South Side and then attend the show. They always have something fresh and pertinent. You can get a cocktail before the show and mingle in the lobby area where they generally have some type of interactive game or activity that coordinates along with the show or the theme. Its a great time. Have yet to be disappointed!
Pittsburghs gift to the theater world. Exciting new plays.
Great location, small theater and packed first come seats.
The theatre company always does a really good job with the shows they do. Im not always interested in the shows included in their season, but every show Ive seen there has been well designed and acted. I look forward to going back for more shows in the future.
The best play Ive seen in awhile. If you get the chance to see Roommate do it. Its worth it. You better hurry because it will be over in a few daus here in Pittsburgh.
Small theater with state of the art set designs and productions. Professional actors. Many of the productions are adult themed touching current issues.
This theater is beautiful! The building is just gorgeous and the people who work here really love what they do. They have great programs for young people and the community as well. The location is great, with parking and food places nearby. The Young Playwrights series put on every year is incredible, and is such a great way to give back to young people from the community exploring drama and playwriting!
Great theatre, awesome production quality and talent!
Went to see my daughter in laws play it was awesome!!
Excellent production of One Night in Miami. Cant say enough about the talented cast!!
Went to see Nomad Motel last night. very enjoyable event. first visit to the city theater. a very intimate arena with great seats to feel engaged with the performing artists. great quality of actors and actresses. a very high valued driven event. will make this a more common venue to see high quality affordable events.
Really loved the Santaland Diaries performance!
Excellent modern theater, all wool and a yard wide!
Good food and friendly venue.
We love this theater. Have had yearly subscriptions for 4 years now and have enjoyed each play. The Revolutionsts is playing now. Great play: written and directed by women and all women cast. Blends Reign of Terror during French revolution with a 21st century touch. Worth seeing, not a bad seat in the house.
Great place to see a performance.
They always put on a great show.
Absolutely wonderful performances! Ive been able to attend two shows and Im hooked! The Revolutionists was a brilliantly written, funny, and enjoyable performance!
The play Downstairs has ahh ending
Outstanding performance of an extraordinarily talented and accomplished actor in a marvelous facility bringing the audience close up to the experience of a one man show of a lifetime.
Small, creative, and wonderful. The performance that I saw was original, excellently performed, and emotionally moving. I look forward to seeing what they do in the future.
Great Artistic effort to go Fringe/Disruptive on Theatre Stage in a small-city like Pittsburgh. With some, results are Outstanding. See Feeding the Dragon or Royal. These, deserve National if not International Stages.
Excellent venue with consistently quality performances. A worthwhile night of theater every time.
Excellent theater, takes chances
Nice smaller venue with a variety of performances. Season tickets offer flexibility of changing dates and buying additional seats for guests at a discount. Small bar area for drinks prior to performances. A nice night out.
I really enjoy the show the seating was great no bad sests
Always amazing performances
Pretty cool actually
This is Jean. I have been to see the Eagles tribute ban 3 yrs in a row. This last performance was not as employable. it seemed the sound man didnt know his job.We couldnt hear the singers the music was so loud. the young woman who sings Linda ronstat songs was drounded out.I know she has a beautiful voice,I would be upset if it were my daughter.
Wonderful experience with my mom. Everyone so friendly and welcoming.
Fabulous performance of Pipeline in a very intimate setting. We love this place.
I loved this theater. The layout was interesting. The staff were warm and fuzzy
Amazing theatre. Wonderful company. Looking forward to upcoming seasons to see what bold new plays they produce!
I was a volunteer worker at this theatre in 2001 for 2 months while visiting Pittsburgh and I absolutely loved it. The people were so amazing towards me and to this day I miss each and everyone of them. They did great work and I only wish I was back there to see them again and to see how things have been since I last saw them and the work they did. The best time of my lifeCarrie-Ann
The space is very nice. Plays are plays so your experience may vary
There are two theatres here, and they are both great. A large venue and a smaller black-box venue. I have never been disappointed in either one!
The best live theater company in Pittsburgh. The productions are always compelling and entertaining. The repertoire is always fresh and masterfully produced.
Great new work by new artists. Ive held season tickets for a couple of years. I see a variety of plays, but the content and quality of the work at City Theatre is consistently strong, memorable, and often leads to good discussions with our friends and neighbors. This is good, unique theater!
Always have a great time when i come here. Expect to be amazed.
What a treat. Ive never been to a theater like that. Stage is in the middle of the room basically and surrounded by seats. Clean and professional. Trendy crowd. My suggestion is to take an Uber as parking seems tough. I will be back next time in the city
We saw great improv here as part of the Pittsburgh Comedy Festival.
Pipeline was fabulous. I recommend it for everyone.
A wonderful little venue with good seating, excellent lighting and sound, and a nice social space to boot.
Focused on New Works
Great shows that always leave me thinking for days or months after Ive seen them.
Always enjoy the shows.
Well written play and great performers. Enjoyed very much.
Wonderful theater, fresh stories, fastidiously produced in an intimate space - and at a bargain of a price!
Always a good time. Great entertainment. Quality performances. Will continue to subscribe.
Went to see The old man and the Old moon by Pigpen theater company what a great musical and a night out on the South Side
Edgy and fun in the city!
Very good play....very long name....Leonard Pelkey.... the actor, Keith Randolph Smith, was excellant!!!
Great place to go and see a good play and forget about the woes of today.
We were in the upstairs theater. All of the seats gave a nice view, but we had a difficult time hearing. We missed probably half of the commentary.
Great show. Good seating. Lots of stairs.
Love the old bldg, theatre is always 1st class.
Incredible place. A jewel of the Pittsburgh theatre scene
Pipeline is fabulously directed and acted.
Great place to chill and have fun
A bit small but super cute and trendy
Contemporary plays, and a lot of them, right here in the southside.
Great little venue to see unique performances, no food or drink fyi.
The play PIPELINE was amazing!
Great show! Awesome set! The Royale is a must see!
Super cozy and great stage views from any seat!
Great shows, superb talent and exceptional sets and performances!
Parking is a problem there but the venue is very good
Very intimate theater experience
Intimate theater for real theater buffs.
Wonderful theatre experience.
This place was great!
Great plays on small stages.
Id be hard pressed to think of a bad play, all of the productions Ive seen have entertaining conversation starters!
