The Cabaret at Theater Square
Home to fantastic musical productions, late-night entertainment, live music, and outstanding food, the Cabaret at Theater Square is the Cultural District’s newest performance venue providing unique live music and theatrical performances year-round.
It’s Nunsense! Sister Julia, Child of God, the convent cook, has accidentally poisoned 52 of her fellow sisters at the Little Sisters of Hoboken nunnery. Heartbroken and in dire need of funds to bury their last four dearly departed sisters, the five surviving “Little Hobos” take over the school auditorium to raise money showcasing their hysterically hidden talents. Featuring star turns, tap dancing nuns, an audience quiz and comic surprises, this is one talent show that is truly heaven sent! Winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Off-Broadway Musical, Nunsense has become a must-see international phenomenon.
The Cabaret Menu features delicious appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks for a complete cabaret experience. CLO ticket holders may simply arrive up to 90 minutes before curtain to enjoy food & beverage service inside the theater. No additional reservations are needed, and service is available before the show as well as during intermission. Late Night patrons enjoy service the whole night through.
Theater Square is located at 655 Penn Avenue, between the O’Reilly Theater and Katz Plaza. You can also conveniently park in the Theater Square Garage to make your visit a breeze. The garage entrance is on Seventh Street, between Ft. Duquesne Boulevard and Penn Avenue. From the garage lobby you can either turn right to enter through the main doors on Penn Avenue or, if you turn left, simply walk along the driveway between the WQED Carol M. Byham Studio and Katz Plaza and enter through the Backstage Bar doors.
Hours of Operation: The Backstage Bar is open to the public beginning at 5pm weeknights and at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The Cabaret Theater generally features ticked events unless otherwise noted.
