Theatre Royal, Hobart — Attraction in Hobart

Went to see Alex Williamson's "Sin On My Face" comedy show and the venue didn't detract from the experience but enhanced it! While I can't comment on any other type of performance with credibility, it's an ideal venue for stand up comedy. The stage is small for things such as musicals but for stand up, it's the right size for comedians to walk around to make their performances pop and the heritage and intricacies of the venue should be maintained for all to enjoy which they are. There are two floors of seating and toilets are easy to find mid-performance (even after a couple drinks). I'm not sure how mobility accessible the bottom floor is (I had tickets on the top floor) but the staff seem nice and attentive so contacting the Theatre Royal if there are mobility concerns would be a wise move. There are bars on both levels with areas within the Theatre Royal but outside the theatre itself modern and functional. The ushers are great at what they do too. If you want to go to an event at the Theatre Royal but are concerned about the venue itself, you have minimal reason to be so I hope you enjoy any future events you...

From 1834 the nearby pubs patrons would stumble in to harrass, sometimes fight bawdy performers. Today we may appear more dignified but we all share the same closely intimate Theatrical space with todays modern performers that few Theatres allow. Performers also like sharing that radiance.

Sadly the refurb. has not altered the seating in the 'old' theatre to tiering, nor widened and thus improved the stage area and audience viewing. It could be so much better; the new 'Studio theatre' is excellent, the foyers are open and accommodating, however there are STILL not enough toilets. Why the limited amount of cubicles in the Ladies Powder Room? Such a shame to spend so much money and the Theatre still be lacking; lovely to keep the beautiful decor but with modern styling, this could have remained but be upgraded to a much...
