A wonderful example of the depression era's need for temporary opulence. Well-preserved and the home of hundreds of anecdotes.

This is a fabulous venue. I've been many times but the decor never fails to impress. The powder rooms are also gorgeous. I took my granddaughter to a ballet in 2012 and it was wonderful.

Who cares what the show is, a visit here is an experience in itself. OK, the show probably does matter but it is a wonderful old world lavish Gothic and art deco building that always impresses.

This is a most beautiful "Old World" Cinema which is now used as a Theatre for live shows and plays. It is like walking back in time to step through the front doors. Has been used in many Commercials because of its charm.

This place has a very special feel and should remain as an integral part of Sydney's history. It is so gracious. I'm sure there are places such as this all over the world, and this is Sydney's.

You don't even have to know the words of the songs as they are on the screen whenever the songs start to be performed by the original Julie Andrews and co.
