This is An old theatre, be warned the number of toilets are inadequate. The always run out of booster seats for kids and there is always lines to buy drinks.

One of Melbourne's finest theatres worth a visit and to see a performance there is an experience beautifully refurbished under a previous more enlightened state government, thanks guys you got this one right. Dump the Grand Prix (did I spell it rite ?).
