Regent Theatre

Originally a ‘picture palace’, the Regent Theatre has survived fire, flood, abandonment and repeated threats of demolition to regain its place as one of Melbourne's most prized theatres for live performances.

The theatre has been meticulously restored, brilliantly recapturing the former glory of its 1929 grand picture palace days.

The Regent's lavish rococo interior creates a magical atmosphere for concerts and events in the downstairs Plaza Ballroom and blockbuster stage productions such as The Lion King, Sunset Boulevard, Love Never Dies and King Kong in the upstairs main theatre.
