Capitol Theatre

Last night we saw ' The Book of Mormon' at the Capitol Theatre. Great old theatre and amazing production, well worth seeing. Staff at the theatre were amazing, with every interaction being extremely positive. I have seen comments about the seating and theatre, however have absolutely no complaints. The seats were comfortable, acoustics were great and the view of the stage and production was great.

Went to the Capitol Theatre in Sydney to see The Book of Mormon with family and a couple of close mates—what a night. The theatre itself is stunning, with this old-world charm that makes the whole experience feel a bit magical. We had great seats, the sound was crisp, and the energy in the room was electric. The show was absolutely unhinged—in the best way. Hilarious, outrageous, and super clever. We were all in stitches the whole time. Sharing it with people I love made it even better. Would go back in a heartbeat.

The Capitol Theatre is one of Sydney’s grand old performance venues — charming, full of history, and beautifully maintained in parts, but definitely showing its age in others. The architecture and detailing are lovely, with that classic old-world theatre feel that makes attending a show feel like a special occasion. That said, the venue’s seating and acoustics leave a bit to be desired. The rows aren’t tiered enough, which means if you happen to have a taller person in front, your view can be seriously limited. The sound quality also isn’t perfect — while the orchestra comes through clearly, the lyrics and dialogue can sometimes get lost in the mix, making it a little tricky to follow every word in musical numbers. The seats themselves are quite old and narrow, and by the end of a longer performance you really start to feel it — aching legs and all. It’s always a relief to stand and stretch once the curtain comes down. Despite those comfort issues, the Capitol consistently hosts fantastic productions, and our recent visit for The Book of Mormon was a highlight. The show was sharp, hilarious, and the set design was clever and polished, reminding us why this venue remains such a cornerstone of Sydney’s theatre scene.

Absolutely stunning theatre. Staff were super friendly. Small waiting area front of house so don't get there super early as limited seats but once you enter the theatre you are transported to a magical space.

Beautiful (old, in a romanticising way) theatre, built for audience view and comfort. The show was "Annie," the cast, which included Anthony Warlow and the "Yellow" Wiggle, Miss Hannigan, the orchestra and a wonderful talented cast of young potential musical and dance actors. A most enjoyable afternoon experience not to be missed.
