Pittsburgh Musical Theater Review

Went to see HAIR the Musical, the show was good, some of the actors/actresses had stellar voices but I did feel like the tickets were over priced for the vibe of this performance, since it s in a performing arts school. No major costume changes & no change in set, which added the 3 star rating!

Intimate community theater. Cast for the show I saw was superb. Definitely want to go back to see Hedwig in November. Only complaint would be that the band was just a bit too loud.

The Little Mermaid was amazing! Such a talented cast! My daughter cannot stop talking about how much she loved the show!

Went to see Evil Dead: The Musical and had a great time! The building seems a bit historic which gives it some nice character. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Parking is a little rough because their lot is small, and the immediate neighborhood doesn't really have much else to offer. But the theater is in close proximity to the North Shore, so you have other attractions just a short metro or cab/Uber/Lyft ride away. Would definitely visit again!

Saw We Will Rock You! Great performances, lots of fun!

As always, never disappointed in a PMT show! Cast was incredible. Love how PMT showcases all the talent we have here in Pittsburgh.

They have some great programs for kids here. My daughter came here for dance when she was younger, it was a very positive and enabling environment for her.

Awesome place! Great show. Just get there early if you want to find an easy parking spot.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this show. The costumes and scenery were gorgeous and the talent was so impressive! Enjoyed every moment!!!!!

The theater is beautiful and I loved sotting in the balcony. The sounds and lighting was phenomenal for the performance. I appreciated that the drinks were in sealed tumblers and refillable during intermission. Great theater and lovely location.

I saw their performance of Hair and was blown away. It was completely unexpected and I loved everything about it, especially the relevance of their updated take on an older musical. Bravo!

Excellent show, top notch performances in an intimate setting.

Went to see The Evil Dead Musical. Very easy to find, get parking, and the show was fantastic!

This is an amazing place! It's so fun learning to sing and dance and act!!! PMT is awesome!!!!

The talent was AMAZING, the venue was underwhelming

Wonderful arts education programs and amazing shows every season. The teachers are fun and talented and the students are very welcoming.

Newsies was AMAZING! The cast was awesome (especially Jack and Katherine, wow!) Such a fun show our whole family enjoyed ages 5-60. Reasonable ticket prices are the icing on the cake! Love PMT!

Great show! Nice venue! Traveled from Buffalo to see the show. Loved it!

Absolutely love the show. Professional cast, awesome singing,, local theater at its best. We Will come again.

It was a fantastic show! We saw the musical "Hair" in late January, 2020 and I will not soon forget it! So much energy and enthusiasm!!! When all 40 or so cast members belted out "Let the Sunshine In" at the end it was so moving. Brought tears to my eyes! I could hardly wait to give them a standing ovation!!! We will be back.

Awesome! Saw it on Broadway and this show was same quality of acting. Choreography was a little scaled back but good!

My daughter goes to classes there, and ALL her teachers are so nice. She loves it, and so do I.

We saw The Little Mermaid. What a beautiful theater and wonderfully talented cast and crew!

Great production in an intimate setting at an affordable price

I have seen 2 plays here this year and they were both amazing. Especially Ash and the evil dead

Great school, wonderful teachers and happy students

Evil Dead the Musical was great! Such a fun energy and the performers were so talented and entertaining. They were just perfect in their roles. As newbs, we sat in the first row and it was AWESOME.We cleaned up just fine. :)

My daughter has been attending PMT since she was 3 and she would say it's her "second home". She can not wait to get there when it's time for class, even after 10 years of attending almost every week.

The teachers and staff really do an amazing job supporting and fostering growth in every student. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's child shows any interest in dance, vocal or musical performance.

What a story. A 100+ year old building being turned into an artistic haven.

Great small space production, comfortable venue, and great local and national performers.

This Theater continually puts on high quality and engaging plays and musicals all year. Highly recommend checking out any productions here!

Watched Evil Dead the musical and it was fantastic!!!! Keep up the amazing work!

I think its ridiculous that no matter what they say they never have enough people to work the lines and the wait is usually almost 15 minutes to get to where you're able to fill the belt. And then another 10 to get checked out.

It was a joy to see Pittsburgh Musical Theater s production of Hair . The casting was great and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. I bought the LP in 1968 and saw the Odd Chair Playhouse production in the 70s. So I was very familiar with the music. It was good to see an old favorite performed with such energy and talent.
Thank you for the experience.

My girls have been with PMT for several years. The education is outstanding, and the confidence the kids gain is wonderful. The staff are all amazing.

In the Heights production was great. So much talent! It was my first time at the Garago Theater so I was a little taken back but I cannot wait to see the building when your vision is complete. My daughter is looking forward to seeing the Newsies this spring!

Excellent show. The only disappointment was that there were no programs for the show. There was a website you could go to later that had some info. Just not the same.

The Gargaro is a cool little theater where every seat seems intimate. Avenue Q, directed by Stephen Santa, did not disappoint. Sight lines were good, sound was clear, and the cast was stellar! Loved the place AND the show! Looking forward to the next one!

You can tell the people at this theater actually care about their shows. Every time I have been you see maximum effort. The place is large enough to have a decent crowd, but not too big that it gets overwhelming. The acoustics are great and you can hear/see everything even from the back row.

Saw Avenue Q on May 4th. Wonderfully done! Thank you.

Fabulous show! My stepson & I thoroughly enjoyed it & he loved meeting the characters after the show for autographs!!

Voices were Fair, accommodations weren't even as good as a high school Auditorium. Do not like the new venue, the byham was much more accommodating

The best performing arts school in the Pittsburgh area.

Loved Newsies and the fact that the cast had a meet and greet after the show.

The show, Hair, was wonderful and I love the "reasonably priced" tickets! I had first seen Hair over 50 years ago at the old Nixon Theater; I remembered all the words to the songs! Truly enjoyed the performance!

Went here for a free street show. the kids are sure talented. Go there to support the events they have.

Saw Evil Dead the Musical last week - first time at this theater and we had a fantastic experience. It has a charming community theater vibe, but the production values are tremendous. Cast, crew, sets, music, and the facility in general... everything exceeded my expectations. Very impressed.

PMT s production of Newsies was consistent with the high caliber quality entertainment we have come to expect from them and we didn t have to pay $150+ for a ticket, both some of the many reasons we have remained season subscribers since it began as Gargaro Productions. Here, here!!

Great energy and candid installations. I attended a sort of "open house" event where some performances, rehearsals, and classes were opened to the public. Looking forward to watch my first show here in a couple weeks.

Double date at the Gargaro Theater to see Evil Dead the Musical: OMG WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT WE HAD! So much fun and such a great theater and crew. Going back again very soon!

Here you can enjoy the beauty of Pittsburgh, and the performance of the opera is also very exciting.

Awesome Show!....Engaging & Interactive ! What a wonderful "rockin" time! Great performances , with a special nod to "Brit"....what a talented & explosively vibrant young man !...

Fun intimate theater on the West End. They have some really great program selections. Saw Evil Dead the Musical and Hedwig and the Angry Inch the past year and both were great performances.

Couldn t ask for more from PMT s production of Newsies: Impressive cast with a mix of professionals and exceptionally talented students, great energy, and a beautiful venue.

First class performance! I've seen a lot of off Broadway, this group is right up there. A large collection of diverse, talented young people.

Great venue. Good show. But 3 double vodkas (man was it crappy vodka) was $55! I was quite taken back

Wow!! I saw "In The Heights" there! A BIG show in a small, intimate theater...right in my community! Seating was close, but comfortable. The sound was very good. This particular production was excellent!!!! I thought the ticket was a bit pricey for a small theater, but for that caliber of performance...worth it!! I'll definitely go again.

Very good show. Excellent singing. A great night out. Affordable!

This was a really fun production with a super talented cast. Loved it.

Such as amazing show! I wish I could see it over and over again!

Avenue Q was the first time ever going to this Theatre or seeing anything from PMT. We were not disappointed to say the least .Very entertaining and we'll done. I will definitely be back to see another show there. I recommend anyone to go there, you will enjoy it .

Great local theater company with good talent on stage and live music!

My Daughter is in this program and she enjoys it alot!!

NEWSIES was spectacular! My daughter and I have been waiting so long to see this show and it did not disappoint! The actors, the singing and dancing were better than 5 stars!!! We can't wait to see it again!!!
