Capitol Theatre

We recently saw Sister Act The Musical at the iconic Capitol Theatre, and what a fantastic experience! The theatre itself is stunning, with its unique design making it stand out from other theatres. The acoustics were crystal clear, even from our seats around half way back of the dress circle. Convenience is a major plus, with easy access from Central Station, just a short walk down Pitt St and left onto Campbell St or a quick trip on the light rail. If you are driving there is affordable parking nearby. Overall, I highly recommend the Capitol Theatre. Its blend of historic charm, excellent amenities, and top-notch entertainment, making it a must-visit destination for anyone who loves live performances.

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 👍👍👍

Enjoyed watching Sister Act at the historic Capitol. This is our third show at this Theatre and as always we loved the old style venue. Staff are always fabulous and I can't wait to go back again.

Excellent theatre. Seen so many shows here throughout the years. Beautiful decor, with opulent vibes. The seats are comfortable and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are multiple bars, including the one upstairs. There's no cloak room service, but I don't really mind. Usually every show would have at least one backdrop setup to take photos with (check upstairs too). And the merch are nicely displayed in the lobby, I normally get the program to show appreciation towards and know more about the cast, musicians, and crew. Overall, highly recommended.
