Piccolo Teatro: Magic Theatre

  • Theatre
  • Cabaret

Piccolo Teatro Melbourne specialises in astonishing magic shows and immersive live entertainment.

Discreetly nestled in one of Melbourne's iconic city laneways, this boutique magic theatre, seating a cosy 32, blends French Gothic design with the old-world historic charm that Melbourne's laneways are famous for. Licensed bar onsite, minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Accessible only by a secluded door and an ascending wooden staircase, the space offers a uniquely bespoke experience, with sophisticated illusion, mind reading and magic shows magic performed by Sam Angelico and Richard Vegas and a guest cabaret singer every Saturday night.

Most shows are suitable for children aged 10+ unless stated.

Dress code is smart casual (no tracksuit pants).
