DBKL City Theatre

Panggung Bandaraya DBKL is a historic theatre in Kuala Lumpur, located near Merdeka Square. Built in 1901, the colonial-style building has hosted various theatrical performances, cultural shows, and events over the years. While the architecture is impressive, the venue itself is average in terms of facilities and upkeep. Seating and acoustics are decent, but modernization is needed to enhance the experience. A good venue for local productions, but nothing extraordinary. Three stars for its heritage and function, but room for improvement.

Anugerah Bestari Children Early Development Graduation 2022… Putra Sulaiman and Pandas Branch.. Exteriorly, the building is very badly in need of new face lift.. maybe is in the DBKL planning..

Historic theater built in 1896. Nice wood work and lightning. Very traditional designed. Up keep is not very good. Walls behind the theater and bathroom are broken.

The theatre NEEDS an upgrade/refurbish! The place is broken, there’s plant growing on the ceiling, the seats are old and dirty. It’s sad to see these heritage building not getting the needs they deserve. Please do something about it DBKL!

First time here to watch the spectacular performance by Siam Sinfonietta. The place is nice, clean and.... 👍👍👍

Made me & my partner to fell in love with theater. There weren't many people who watched the theater but the show was lovely & lively where actors & actresses interacted with audiences. They made audiences danced on the stage with them.

I attend to see the show "MUD", the story of Kuala Lumpur. It was a great show of music and dance. The actors invite people to participate in the show. I was part of the show. It was fun! I recommend to everyone to see this show and learn about the story of Kuala Lumpur. Its a show for everyone, kids and adults!

This place is no longer open to public the last I visited (June 2025). DBKL Auditorium is the venue we are redirected to.
