Capitol Theatre

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 beautiful place, only let down is access for the elderly and disability with walking frames, and chairs. 1 ramp on one side of the theatre on 1 of 3 doors, and having to walk all the way around the theatre to the side with stairs for disability seating.

Located at 13 Campbell Street, Haymarket, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 Capital Theatre is a beautiful old building which was placed on the New South Wales State Heritage List in 1999. It was built from 1893-1928 and designed by Henry Eli While and John Eberson. The site was originally used by early settlers as a market place for produce and hay, giving this area its name “Haymarket “. We came to see the musical 🎶 “Sister Act” and had a great time although the show itself was quite different from the movie which I have to admit was a little disappointing and I was also disappointed that Casey Donovan was not playing the lead character as advertised. I was really looking forward to seeing her. Another thing I was a little disappointed about was that I didn’t recognise any of the music, none of the songs from the movie made it its way into the musical. The building itself is beautiful. I loved the Roman statues and the little gargoyles figurines around the theatre. The building is quite beautifully designed and preserved I thought. The painting on artwork on the ceilings are beautiful. The staircase is also amazing. It’s quite easy to get around for people with mobility issues if you are on the stalls or lower floor. The theatre is kept tidy and clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Just a short stroll away from Central Station and the light rail is just out the front door so very easy to get to. We had a really great time here and I can’t wait to come back for my next show. Especially loved that we got to meet Rhonda Burchmore and Genevieve Lemon at the stage door afterwards and get my photo with them. They were so gracious. Thumbs up from me!! 👍👍👍

Gorgeous theatre that shows we just don’t build things like we used to. Comfortable seating and amazing atmosphere with relatively friendly staff (though some of the youngsters serving downstairs bar were more interested in chatting to each other than helping clientele) Box seats give a fabulous view of the stage. Highly recommend.

watch Jesus Christ superstar January 2025. Venue is always great but the show wasn’t as good as what I have in mind. Capitol Theater is one of the best venues for theater shows here in Sydney. This place is “a must” when you are in sydney..
