New Hazlett Theatre Reviews

I love this theater and have been seen Productions there since the Pittsburgh Public theater called it home back in the 80s. The lobby is warm and inviting and the Acoustics are great for theater or music. The fifth star is missing because the seats are old and uncomfortable. But it's a wonderful place for theater groups who don't have their own space and the work that they do in the community is stellar.

Nice space, but seats are kinda narrow and uncomfortable

Was a joy to see a show here. We saw a dance performance: Corning Works, The World As we Know it. What a great little theater and what a fantastic performance. Would definitely come back to see something else.

This is such a nice theater. The seating is very versatile. I have been to about 3 shows. With every one the seating was different. They also have a very impressive lighting grid.

Prime Stage productions are fabulous. Excellent performance of "The Diary of Anne Frank."

Fantastic theater space with equally fantastic staff.

I love Walli Jamal acting skills and his interpretation of August Wilson's last play which is autobiographical. I think his ability to change his voice and interpretation of black and white folks and so many kinds of patois as well as class differences is quite remarkable and educational for all. Thanks Walli!

Small and intimate theater
Love it

Historic small theater, cramped seats, but we like it here.

Of Nice and Men was a fantastic performance! Ken Lutz was phenomenal as Candy! XOXO

Lovely space with a very chic and modern lobby, refreshments available for reasonable prices. The shows here are very well performed, the actors are top-knotch. A great place for good quality theatre

Love the intimacy of this theater. Well trained and emotional driven dancers!!!

One of my favorite theaters in Pittsburgh...love the industrial feel with the exposed brick walls. Great performances here.

I went to the Flamenco Fiesta Jan. 23, 2014. There was free on-street parking . There was additional pay parking in the "fish lot" next door. The building was in an urban neighborhood so I followed the recommendation of locking my valuables in the trunk of my car. But nobody broke in. There was a security guard on duty. The exterior is Romanesque-church-like. The interior did indeed have a fatigued red brick decor. Some old windows were blocked out but not with plywood as another reviewer asserted. And there is no factual basis at all that the restroom was bad smelling. The mens room was clean and up to date. There was a bar and a pleasant bartender in the foyer. The performance space was well lit and miked. Acoustics were fine. About 250 seats were distributed around three sides of the performance space on two levels. There was a cloak room but no attendant. But nobody stole my coat. I had a great time. I recommend this place to all.

This is a beautiful historic theater in the Uptown neighborhood of Pittsburgh. It's walking distance to PPG Paints Arena. The theater is in great condition and the main auditorium is beautiful. There are spaces upstairs as well for multi-purpose use.

Charming small, local music and performing arts venue. Located near the Children's Museum and Aviary. Street parking.

Wow! What a gorgeous place! And every seat in the house is a good one.
