Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This is a fascinating old building which had been converted into a live venue. On Saturday mornings there is a farmers market next door which is fabulous. The building has great street art on it and really interesting sculptures as well. Do look at the signs as they are not as they appear to be. It is easy to get to via city cat and worth checking out their website for live shows.

    The theater is not a big one, so that you can enjoy the show in close shoot. Friendly Staffs. Environment is perfect including the Bar open before the show. Grap a drink, chat to your friend or family, to get the mood before hand. What I appreciate best is it give a platform to young talents to keep in their path and achieve their dreams.

    This is a lovely setting, inside the Brisbane Botanic Gardens and bordering the Brisbane River. However, not so in inclement weather! I recently attended the Midnight Oil concert there. It rained for nearly the whole concert, thus it was cold and wet. Pretty unpleasant! Midnight Oil themselves were sensational, and put on a fantastic concert! However the Riverstage is definitely a fair weather venue. I would think twice about seeing other concerts there.

    Had my wallet pick-pocketed, and my friends' drink was spiked, causing them to black out. Nice venue, but be careful - would not advise getting drinks during a concert.

    We went to this theatre as it was the new venue for the "A very naughty Christmas" show. The theatre is in the QUT university precinct. There was limited street parking available but there was a small parking lot across the road which had broken parking ticket machines at the time of visiting.
    The theatre had a good bar for drinks outside its entrance and you could take the drinks into the venue when the show was playing which was good.
    It is relatively small and the seating was in the round around the the small stage area.
    There weren't many toilets so there was line up before and after the show.
    I really enjoyed the venue and would happily go there to see more shows.

    This theatre ia perfect for a close-up view of performers. The Queensland Ballet performance of Synergy was enhanced by the opportunity to see exceptional dancers at close quarters. Also the theatre bar offered drinks at reasonable prices.

    I love this cinema, the candy bar is very reasonable and ticket prices too. ‘The garage’ down the road has more adult food aswell. The cinemas are comfy and clean and not freezing cold!! it’s just great to take the family somewhere that doesn’t cost a fortune. Go a bit early to find a close car park.

    I was very impressed with this intimate theatre at West End . Bought a ticket at last minute to see with my friends. I had not seen a production of Queensland Theatre Company and soon realised what I had missed out on.

    Went to see a local production of Taming of the Shrewd last night in Queensland Theatre Company Billie Brown Theatre. Great little theatre well located in south Brisbane. Production was great with great cast. Really enjoyed the experience.

    I am a big theatre nerd & was surprised I didn’t know about Ad Astra Theatre Co. until a friend I go the gym with was acting in The Normal Heart (Nov’22) & encouraged me to come along. I came along with a friend & I’m glad I did. The show was professional with polished performances & the plays they put on (as seen in the posters out in the foyer/lobby) are interesting and not often performed elsewhere in Brisbane. It’s a small venue on Miserton St in the Valley with an equally tiny theatre space (there were only 40 seats) which makes for an intimate/up close & personal theatre experience. We entered the theatre doors to a night club setting with the actors dancing on the stage around us as we made our way to our seats behind the performers! It’s a professional company & needs support to thrive given the limited capacity. The actors all come out after the performance & I got to chat with my friend who was in the play & meet the director. I’ll be back soon to enjoy another Ad Astra show.

    My husband and I saw Lysa and the Freeborn Dames at La Boite. The beauty of the Roundhouse is that you’re close to the stage, the audience sees the play from different perspectives eg the round. And because of this the actors have to be very aware that the audience is seeing the actor from the side, the front and the rear consequently the play has to be as meaningful no matter where in the round you sit. Love the Round.
