Belvoir St Theatre

I nice local theater, that has a unique ambiance. They have a bar and nibbles available on site. So you could come and socialize before the play.

Quality production from emerging artists, 25A: POV was fantastic! Thank you to box office staff for your help in finding last minute tickets. We definitely will be back for another show!

Have seen a few plays here and they’ve all been really well-produced with incredible actors. I love the versatility of the stage for different productions. All the staff are also very friendly!

Beautiful small theatre, nice vibe, it's great to feel so close to the stage, almost like you are part of the show! 🤩

Just saw Tiddas yesterday. We have not been able to stop talking about it. It was brilliant. Brilliantly written. Brilliantly performed. Brilliantly directed. So glad we got to see this wonderful show. Please pass on our comments to the cast as they were amazing.

Holding the Man, Saturday 17th March, Belvoir Theatre, Sydney; Last week I was entirely blown away by the preview performance of Holding the Man. I was so impressed, that I saw it again last night. Sadly though I was very disappointed by the general performance of a couple of the actors. The reason being that a great deal of the dialogue was totally inaudible and too quietly spoken in the emotional and intense scenes. For thirty years I was a professional actor in the UK, performing in repertory theatre, touring the provinces and acting in plays and musicals in the West End theatres. Therefore I'm very familiar with the art of projecting the voice, whether under ordinary circumstances or during deeply intense moments. Whichever that may be, the responsibility of the actor is to ensure the audience hears every word the playwright has written, and not to whisper them. I'm almost certain that the rather lack lustre appreciation by the audience at the end of the play last night was partly due to this reason. At the preview I attended last week, there was a standing ovation. I hope my comments will reach the ears of the appropriate persons, and that your future audiences will once again enjoy a completely fulfilling theatrical experience of this wonderful play.

Intimate theatre with staggered seating so a good view is always available. Bar and food on hand. Just saw the amazing "Holding the Man" incredible!

This discreet theatre shows classy and highly entertaining shows which I enjoyed every minute of. Recently I watched Miss Peony and the energy of the whole play was electrifying. I loved it and I definitely want to watch more from here.

Obviously everyone has different taste in art and every play is different, so I can't begin to tell you if you're going to enjoy a performance here. However, I can say that both productions I've seen here (Seventeen in 2015 and The Blind Giant is Dancing in 2016) featured excellent actors, effective (but low cost) sets and quick moving pacing--nothing dragged on or made me wonder how much time was left in the performance. As a theatre buff and former theatre student, that's pretty high praise. Also, the dynamic pricing is incredibly smart, and I saved enough money using it to buy a voucher for the cafe. Although my flat white was burnt, the orange and cardamom cake was outstanding. For Seventeen, a box office team member went out of his way to find same-day tickets my partner and I (both students) could afford, even when student tickets were sold out. Can't wait to go back. If I could afford it, I would absolutely buy a membership and commit to going more often. Kudos.

I visited Belvoir to see the stirring "Kill the Messenger" play written by Nakkiah Lui. The venue is 3 stories high with an extensive bar featuring a variety of local wines, beer and cider. Support local theatre and check out whatever is playing!!

Authentic theatre - you walk into Belvoir and you can just feel the drama in the walls. Its an actors theatre, with the shows performed here being driven by the love of the art above anything else.... that said, expect something good.... I saw Geoffrey Rush perform here a few years ago and he and the play was simply outstanding. The Belvoir encourages new artists too, with smaller spaces available for emerging talents to show off their works in a professional area. It's very competitive to get an offer to use the space, so you know you're not going to be watching something completely amateur. I can't guarantee you will love the play you're seeing as it varies from season to season but I can tell you, that you will love the experience. A great place to get your cultural groove on.

Last night I attended "The Dark Room" at t he Belvoir Street theatre. I admit it has been a few years since I have been to Belvoir, but I used to see quite a few plays there and as soon as i walked into the theatre last night I realised I must go more often. I don't go to the theatre much, but Belvoir is worth going to as they are at the top of their game, being (in my opinion) the home of the countries most cutting edge theatre companies, particularly company B. I used to see a lot of compant B productions when I was a teenager and would reuglarly see performances featuring Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Jacqueline McKenzie & Richard Roxborough, before any of them became big stars and many of the profuctions were directed by the great Neil Armfield. So many Australian actors have cut their teeth at Belvoir and then gone on to have huge Hollywood careers. Belvoir excells on every level, from Staging to Sound & Lighting design, it is always innovative & inspiring.

Fantastic place to take in a bit culture. I watched the Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen and it was a very interesting Australiana take of it. The actors performed within the bounds of a glass cube, which worked well as on of the characters was a live duck, quack! The auditorium seats about just under 100 people. I enjoyed waiting for the show to start, the foyer seconds as a bar where you can get a glass of wine and read up on upcoming shows. It's very rustic and earthy the crowd is a mix of middle-aged subscribers and young theatre buffs. So it's really anyones game. I'm lucky enough to know one of the bar-tenders / ushers a young Sydney actor Jackie - she's sure to offer her finest hospitality on your visit.

I've seen many productions at the Belvoir Theatre in Surry Hills. With an outstanding reputation and a recently renovated premises, the Belvoir Theatre always has something interesting, something hilarious or something hilariously interesting in its seasonal program. Most recently I went to the Belvoir to see a play called 'Gwen in Purgatory.' They were lucky tickets, tickets that came to me when the rightful theatre goers were called away to travel overseas, and the tickets, being non exchangeable fell to me. Myself and a friend, (Pardon moi: My friend and I) went to the Sunday Matinee and as expected joined the audience of elderly people to watch the hilarious play about a woman who is getting on and has a priest come to bless her new house. (The plot is more complex than that but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you.) The play was a hoot and it wasn't even ruined by the audience of theatre goers who narrated and commented on every little detail, "He's not going to do that is he?", "Oh no, he shouldn't have said that." and "Look there he is, he's at the door." As though they were watching a filmic pantomime. The Belvoir has two theatres, one up a long flight of stairs and the other, a downstairs, street level theatre. There's a courtyard where people can smoke and have a drink during interval, but being a residential area, must keep the noise down late at night.
