Had a wonderful time at the Capitol Theatre seeing Moulin Rouge. Despite the fact it was a packed theatre we moved through the foyer quite quickly; the door staff were polite and informative. Good number of toilets given the size of the venue. Our view from the dress circle was fantastic - despite being quite far back we didn’t feel at all limited in what we could see and had a really incredible experience. Very close to the Chinatown Light Rail stop and also a short walk from Central Station, so very easily accessible by multiple kinds of public transport.

Spectacular theatre where we saw Beauty and the Beast. The theatre itself was well maintained with meticulous detail to enhance the experience of the show and to transport you into the magical world of the show you're seeing. We were at the top level in a booth and felt like royalty! The seats themselves were a little lumpy however this was a minor complaint. Most seats would have a decent view and the special effects were breathtaking. Close to Central station and the Haymarket area. Can't wait for the next show 🎥🎭😀

Beauty and the Beast - fabulous production. Cast were sensational and highly recommend. Capitol Theatre is a beautiful theatre with spotless amenities and a number of them. Easy location to find by public transport and in walking distance to both train stations and metro. Staff were nice.

Great location to watch the theatre. I prefer seats closest to the stage and i couldn't get any closer than the can can tables when watching Moulin Rouge. From my location, i could see clear the facial expressions from the performers and felt the vibrations through the floor as they danced on the stage in front and behind me. It was a wonderful experience.

I have been to the Capitol Theatre a few times to see some productions. The theatre is always present well on the inside and out. The theatre is clean and all the staff are friendly and courteous. This time we spoilt ourselves to the royal box savoury and royal box sweet. They were so easy to collect and easy to enjoy while watching the show. The only fault I could give capitol theatre is not enough seating outside waiting for the show, plus the seats in the theatre are quite uncomfortable as they are ageing. A little upgrade on the seats would make for a much more comfortable viewing experience.

The Capitol Theatre earns a solid 4/5 from me, thanks to an enchanting performance of "Beauty and the Beast" that left a lasting impression. The grandeur of the theater added to the magic of the show, creating a captivating atmosphere for the audience. The production itself was stellar, capturing the essence of the classic tale with impeccable performances and impressive set design. The Capitol Theatre's commitment to delivering top-notch entertainment was evident throughout the evening. However, a minor hiccup in the experience was the extended wait at the bathrooms, particularly for the ladies. The inconvenience slightly detracted from an otherwise seamless evening. Improved restroom management could enhance the overall comfort for patrons. Despite this, the overall experience at the Capitol Theatre was outstanding. The venue's historical charm, coupled with the breathtaking performance of "Beauty and the Beast," made it a memorable night. The staff's professionalism and the theater's ambiance contributed to the overall success of the evening. Capitol Theatre offers a fantastic venue for world-class performances, and "Beauty and the Beast" was a testament to its commitment to quality entertainment. Addressing minor logistical issues, like bathroom wait times, could elevate the overall experience for patrons. Nonetheless, it remains a highly recommended destination for those seeking a magical night of theater.

Such a vibrant scene all throughout the theatre. So much access to facilities. The beauty and the beast show was phenomenal. The workers were extremely helpful. The entire place was kept well tidy and easy to move around . Plenty of space when being seated and good views all around . Highly highly recommend this place for families or even a date night . Thank you for an amazing night and wonderful first experience at the theatre . Will definitely be looking forward to returning soon and grabbing the wife more merchandise.

Beautiful Theater! Stalls are head height with the stage, so worth sitting back a little from the front row for best viewing. Seats are comfortable and audio is great. There is a candy bar inside the theatre on the ground level - often much less busy than the foyer.

Beautiful place and heritage interior. Few mins walk from central station and light rail. Friendly staff.

Good place to go to

Intimate theatre experience. In the dress circle you felt very close to the stage and could see all the action. The sound system was awesome. I could feel the sub woofers. Also happened to catch an awesome show.

Lovely old theatre. So pleased they haven't changed it to a modern ugly building. Easy walk through the park to get to the theatre. Not far from Paddy's markets which has a large shopping centre above it. Plenty of eateries in the area.

Caught Moulin Rouge !! What an amazing show. Definitely worth the money. The cast and effects were so good. The architecture of the building was simply stunning. All the details!!! Recommend to come and catch the show at least once.

Very nice venue that looks really cool on the inside. We really loved the decorations and the overall look both in the foyer and in where the seats are. We only had a bit of an interaction with staff but they were super nice. It also didn't feel too crowded as it was easy to get around. The seats were relatively comfortable, we were also at the top part and found that it was very easy to see the stage.

Shows in style Lovely theatre with sophisticate Devore and old world charm. Comfortable seats and good viewing. Good bar and sitting areas with friendly and efficient staff. Was very busy the night we were there but still managed to get drinks. There are always good shows to see and this one was iconic! Love your local guide-M❤️ Like or follow me if helpful. Arrived by taxi/ share ride as parking too hard.

Great theatre, it is always decorated to play in show. And I love the old theme of it. The staff a lovely and friendly. And real easy to get to. Right next to central station.

Host great shows and a great family and friend gathering for special events! Classy interior and very friendly staff. The staff are extremely patient even with big crowds and long queues. Recently watched "Joseph and the amazing techicolor coat." It's a great piece and so fun. Hope can return for more very soon.

A beautiful theatre that knows how to put on a good show. The seats are comfortable and clean, there are plenty of staff to show you to your seat, a lift to the upper level, snack shops outside and inside the theatre, and a souvenir shop. We saw Alice in Wonderland performed by the super talented Australian Ballet. The set, choreography, costume and cast were all 5 star. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the area to grab a bite before or after the show. The light rail is close by and there is a car park next door.

Front row for Beauty & The Beast. Ticketing via the app was superior. Entry fast and efficient. The actual seats are ok. The back is fine but the “air pocket lumps” are average. The auditorium looks amazing. Staff are kind and courteous bringing back old world charm to the box office. Many thanks for being a great host.

Lovely old theatre lovingly restored. Comfortable seats. Good temperature to watch stage show 9 to 5. Have lifts for access. Wheelchair friendly. Good service in bars and has Candy bar access in seating areas, also choc tops sold at interval around the seating areas. Parking 4 hours $36. Not a lot of street parking. Short stroll from Central rail station. Not far from Chinatown.

Fabulous place, so beautiful. Wonderful place to see a show

We lived the magic of a tale as old as time 🥀🌹♥️ My daughter and I came to see Beauty and the Beast. We were blown away from the moment we arrived the architecture of this beautiful place was incredible and the show was breathtaking! Cannot wait for our next trip to this amazing theatre 🎭🎶

Great theatre, warm atmosphere, friendly staff. I know this is about Capitol but Iv got to mention that I was there to watch dolly's 9-5. Great production. Casey Donovan was outstandung, aswell as all the the other performers. Awesome night had a great time. There is one carpark that you can use that Capitol will validate your parking for $8.00. I cant mention its name cause I don't know but it's worth calling Capitol to find out. We paid $54 for parking, big difference. Worth a phone call.

Love seeing love shows at this theatre. It's art Deco interior creates the true enviroment of what theatre is all about. The atmosphere of true theatre hits you as soon as you enter, to the time you leave after the show. Seats are comfortable and the statues and the blue ceiling of stars transforms you further, and away from the rush and stresses you leave at the front door on entry. Wish there were more theatres of this standard in Sydney.

This Theatre is absolutely gorgeous. We went to see Come From Away - loved it. The staff were amazing, so helpful and friendly. Would love to go back for every show.

This is a great theatre. We have now watched two productions here as a family and they were both excellent productions. The staff are polite and attentive. The stage props were controlled seamlessly and without issue. The seating is comfortable and you feel very close to the action.

Finally got to see Come From Away after many, many COVID false starts. Had to change performance dates several times and as my partner required wheelchair seating we had to go through the Capital Theatre box office. Every time contact was made they could not be more helpful (thank you!). The theatre itself is lovely - I have not been for over 30 years but it is still a magnificent venue. Come From Away, by the way, is a fantastic musical and at the time of my typing finishes in Sydney at the end of January 2022. Go see it!

I am a musical theatre person and when it comes to the capital theatre, it hosts some world class productions. I have not yet seen a production at the Capital Theatre which has disappointed. Sound quality and production of theatre at the Capital is next to none within Sydney. Venue food and beverage can put you back a little, but they offer a descent selection. Most views are unobstructed, however even views in the stalls from the side can leave you not seeing the edges of the stage. This is only a problem with a production that uses the whole stage. Woman’s bathroom is normally very busy with a large line.

My wife and I have been here to see a couple of shows and loved it each time. Today we went to see Frozen the musical. It was great. Getting to your seats was done with ease. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. The viewing of the stage was excellent and the show was amazing. A great venue to see amazing shows and the prices were great.

Beautiful theatre. It feels intimate with the design of ceiling and walls. Even if I'm seated near the entrance door I can still see the actors and actresses. I would love to go back here again with my family!

Been here a few times. Easy to get to with the tram. Eat beore or after and you'll have a great night.

Fantastic theatre, and the show was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Go see a show here and have a great time!

Lovely theatre with good sound and a current musical, 9 to 5, that thrills.

Great show! 9 to 5 ! Quick and easy to find with parking next door

Watched "Beauty and the Beast" musical here on 16/6/2023. Thoroughly enjoyed the musical. The show was two and a half hours in total with 20 minutes break between act 1 and act 2. I recommend that you use the restroom BEFORE the show as there will be a line during the break, especially the ladies room.

Every show we see here is amazing and the theatre always looks beautiful presented. The only issue is there are not enough female toilets. It was quicker for me to leave and go across to the local pub to use there toilet and come back ... while other ladies were STILL lining up.

Another amazing night at the Capitol Theatre 🎭 this time for Moulin Rouge. Incredible transformation of a stage. This was an amazing birthday present from my best friend in Melbourne. I love this theatre, it's so grand

Great and a very convenient venue to attend. We seem 9 to 5 Out party of 4 had a ball. Seats could do with a bit of an up grade. Very tied seating , most definitely not comfortable. 2 hrs was to long to site and be comfortable in those old and dilapidated seats. Even though there was an internal.

It's just wow, every show was great!

Great theatre. We were seated on the lower lever towards the rear and had a great view. Seats are very comfortable and plenty of leg room. We saw Moulin Rouge and the set wan amazing.

Great & original venue situated in the heart of the city. Very intimate seating with brilliant views of the stage . I left my phone at the Metro Marlow hotel therefore no internal photos . Returned last year to see the amazing Moulin Rouge and was blown away , particularly by the cost of drinks .

I went to the Capitol Theater with my mum and a friend to watch Moulin Rouge. WOW what an awesome night! The show was fabulous, the cast performance was PHENOMENAL! So well worth the money. Oh, and this was my second musical. I will DEFINITELY be back again.

Lovely theater with nice interior. Seats could be refurbished though. Pretty good views even from the seats at the sides. Toilets are limited as many of the other reviews also states. Wouldn't recommend sitting all the way at the back in the stalls, it's too far away from the stage.

Went to watch Moulin Rouge in this theatre and it was a spectacular show, took us back 100s of years ago to Paris…1889 to be exact. Just shows that love is the most important thing in life. The actors were superb & the theatre one of a kind. One must book tickets in advance as it was house HOUSEFUL even on a weekday. Better than the movie too. All must watch.

Beautiful theatre with great seats. Not a bad seat in the stalls (image attached is from the very back row of stalls). I have sat in all areas of this theatre and I've never been disappointed. I would highly recommend going to the bathroom early rather than leaving it to the last minute as there aren't many bathrooms at all. Other than that, you're in for a wonderful night out in a gorgeous theatre.

Just around the corner from Tram stop China Town. Plenty of food places to eat Old theatre so be careful if you have walking problems. Stairs are very steep. Staff are friendly and helpful We went to see Beauty and the Beast excellent a must see

Went there to attend Shen Yun on march. Well received, the staff is pleasent and the place neat . Within the theater, seats are cozy and the surroundings gorgeous.

Love this venue, so glad it was not lost to developement.

Unbelievable experience!!! Great atmosphere and comfortable venue. Easy to get in and out of and staff are really friendly

Spectacular venue.

Nice to see

Good ambiance and traditional and well maintained interiors. Limited food options Seats are comfortable though reading the aisle numbers is tricky.

Great show.

It is a really nice place with good aqustic and convenient chairs. Easy to access and easy to find parking spots close by.

Ticket maybe very cheap in some sight blocking area, but it’ll still worth a nice show to watch here. Nice venue and the shows here are always great.

School of rock was amazing! Beautiful venue and lovely staff.

Very good experience in such a comfortable seats

The theatre itself is stunning

Best birthday present, great venue and top range of performances

If you haven't been to the Capital Theatre you need to go. It's like stepping back in time. Wonderfully restored to it's former glory. I can't recommend this Theatre enough.

The inner beauty of the theatre really catches you unaware when you go for the first time. I came to watch Jersey Boys then Chicago and I have had consistently amazing experiences with the staff, especially the warmth and professionalism of the box office and cloak room. Seating is also nicely arranged and you are guaranteed a good view regardless of ticket price.

Saw School of Rock...Great. Don't sit next to rear doors. Repeated draft from opening to let people in and out. And 4 cubicles in ladies for hundreds of people just not enough. Otherwise comfortable seats. Good sight lines and acoustics.

One of the best theaters that I've been to. The interior is really cool, with sculptures and nice ceilings and walls. The staff are very helpful and are happy to direct you to where you need to be. The shows are great with fantastic sound and lighting.

Excellent live theatre venue. Top class shows,we just saw Chicago which was brilliant. The theatre staff are lovely friendly and obliging. Good idea to subscribe to the theatre to receive early notice of upcoming shows. A VERY BIG ISSUE, with absolutely no blame on the theatre is the constant use of the disabled toilet by women instead of using the ladies as my wife does after assisting me to access the disabled toilet.

Been here a few times now. This time was for School of Rock. Always a wonderful experience. Staff are attentive, helpful and friendly. Definitely will be back again in the future.

Absolutely love the Capitol Theatre! Great shows, intimate theatre even through quite large. Good service from cloak to bar. Beautiful art deco throughout

The theatre has upgraded old world beauty. Statues. Performances are top shelf. The staff are fantastic. They do have a policy of no backpacks umbrellas or prams in the theatre,but have a 'cloakroom ' where you can check them in

A truly grand Sydney theatre. History few others have. More purpose built than even the opera house. If a show is half decent on paper the tipping point to buying a ticket is often because it's on here.

Good shows.

"School of Rock" was a trully entertaining experience. We had time of our life rocking along the story line. Awesome cast and masterful music score. Outstanding performance by all young rising stars. It's a must see event.

Location is ok

Great venue

Great theatre, lovely art decor interior School of Rock was fantastic. Reasonable bar prices

Wonderful show, celebrating the life and songs of Tina Turner

Pretty amazing stage and sound effect. I had Les Miz and School of Music there. Definitely worth the money. Plus it’s very conveniently located in the centre of Sydney.

Great quality theatre, good parking, easy access

It's magnificent. Such a beautiful place to visit. Like being in a royal venue. So many fine details put into every inch of this old building. The staff are very warm and friendly. The ushers are very accomdating and polite. It was another amazing experience here for myself with my family.

great shows and a beautiful old theatre

Pretty good

Fantastic theatre. The decor is amazing. Seats are super comfortable.

Great venue to see the last show of School of Rock

Amazing highly recommended. Can't believe I haven't been there earlier in my life

They did a great job getting everyone seated. Friendly staff. It was the last performance of tje show for this shows.

Grand old same of Sydney!

Gret show and theatre old world charm but very clean and the atmosphere is great

Absolutely beautiful unique building done in a classical style

The architecture is breathtakingly amazing! There is more to the structure than meets the eye.

Enjoyed the Shen yun show

Good theatre for a play

Gorgeous theatre
