Hi!
I have the sentence:'I've been at the Town Hall to see Monica's show'.
Is this order correct?
Or should I say 'I've been to see Monica's show at the Town Hall '.

Both are correct. Which is most important: where you have been or what you have been doing?
The first emphasises where you've been, the second emphasises what you have been doing.
