    Went to the ASB threatre in the Aotea Centre to watch Jimmy Carr. Layout and staffing was great, bar was setup well and service was fast. Ticketing and seating was very well done

    This is a modern theatre, well furnished to a very high standard, with good facilities and friendly staff. A number of plays are staged here every week. There is a parking lot downstairs, which is very convenient, but the parking fee is slightly expensive.

    When seated in the stalls and there is a windy day outside, your literally blown out of your seat by the draft of the all open doors. Suffered a cold after watching a performance there.

    We went to a show at the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre and was easy to get to straight from the car park, best advice is to pre-pay your parking

    I enjoyed the workshops held here. The staff were friendly and helpful. Cafes and other food places are everywhere. I came here for the Auckland Writers Festival and this venue was perfect.

    Beautiful venue, easy access to parking without needing to go outside, great in the winter.

    Fantastic theatre, lots of memories here from Choir performances, APO and ASO concerts and more!

    A bit confusing with the multiple levels and different letters of entrances that correspond with your ticket. Very beautiful stage and the seats were nice and comfortable. I enjoyed the performance (Giselle) very much. Not sure if it's the case with all performances or just this one but when they sell the programmes in the beginning there are staff with stalls in all levels but they only accept cash. If you don't carry cash with you, you have to go all the way to the bottom :) I ended up forgetting my phone on my seat and the staff helped me quickly and were incredibly nice about it too! (Thank you so much again!!!)

    Attended a conference this July. Great Avenue to host conferences. Multipurpose rooms and halls. Great audio system.

    Attended a Pride event on last Saturday & was pleasantly surprised at the set up organisation. There was sparse seating arrangements of slightly uncomfortable hard plastic deck chairs & beanie cushion bags too. The weather was sunny with a windy breeze. It was an enchanting space for families & individuals with a huge main stage, a DJ booth, an extensively gigantic Jumbo tron flat screen & several food carts/ caravans & free samples of Oreo products & Skittles items offered by representatives. There were ample staff who were very talented & offered assistance & information answering questions & taking photos. The signage was clear as to the toilets location, just one irksome detail, it was a significant commute walk to the facilities. However the overall experience was highlighted by various performances e.g Poetry reading, live bands some were lukewarm & energized, a dance crew competition thoroughly entertaining & an Interactive dance to fabulous music set up for a physical workout, a Q & A session with NZ Maori representatives Kane from the gay Rugby Union NZ Falcons & scintillating korero re: his kiriata movie, korero about trailblazer Campbell Johnstone 1st gay All Black featuring in Express gay publication , straight All Black Brad Weber promoting positive role models & dialogue & visibility of the LGQTBI & Rainbow communities throughout the motu country & the transgender versus straight athletes competing together debate, the fairness or disadvantages, possibly a separate governing sports body supporting & advocating transgender & the like athletes to compete in a separate competition for now & at a later time anticipate an Inclusive & Diverse sports body organisation in the future, a drag queens performance, whilst it was fabulously exhilirating, one of the performers wore an extremely skimpy g-string thong ensemble costumeπŸ™„πŸ˜– which was totally & utterly inappropriate, a lowlight, considering there were young children under age, even though the parents or guardians were present. I would revisit the show as to daylight family entertainment & not engage in risky performances exposing the buttocks & flesh in the daytime. It was a night performance for the adults sector honestlyπŸ€”There were highlights of the multi faceted sectors straight & LGQTBI Rainbow communities & encouraging signs & steps that Aotearoa New Zealand is becoming more progressive in terms of Inclusion & Diversity & Unconscious Bias & Knowledge. Ergo 4 stars just a few improvements requiredπŸ˜πŸ€—πŸ€©πŸ‘„πŸ’–πŸ’•πŸ’“β€πŸ’˜πŸ’‹πŸ’—πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’›πŸ§‘πŸ’œπŸ’Œβ£πŸ’ŸπŸ’žπŸ’πŸŽ™πŸŽΆπŸŽ΅πŸŽΌπŸŽ€πŸŽ›βœ¨πŸŽ‡πŸŽ†πŸŽ‹πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸŽ€πŸŽ

  • 5/5 lorri M. 9 months ago on Google
    So good to find a traditionally trained Chinese acupuncturist that makes a difference. ACC registered and so, so good. πŸŒˆπŸ’–

    Is a fine facility for a conference. Wayfinding could be much much better

    Amazing venue located in the heart of Auckland and the Aotea Arts Quarter. The Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre is New Zealand's largest modern tiered auditorium & is truly stunning after all the renovations. The cafe is also a good spot for a quick bite to eat.

    Came here to see Jimmy Carr in the Kiri Te Kanawa theatre. Large theatre with lots of seats. However, everyone has to stand up when people want to get out, you can't just put your legs to one side so they can pass.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 1 year ago on Google
    Har seen a number of shows here, easy to get to and from. Car part can be a little trying to get out of as automated pay point is not always robust causing long lines waiting to pay..

  • 3/5 Bethel M. 1 year ago on Google
    No doors open at 6pm. The point of using carpark is to be inside!!! No sise doors open. Had to use stairs, but, the hand rail BLOCKS. No food open till 6.30pm

  • 4/5 Gracie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, well-maintained carpark. Directions are generally clear. Entrance and exit do not require tickets anymore. Much more convenient than before.

  • 4/5 Ronda G. 1 year ago on Google
