Nine steps to the perfect day in Auckland - SilverKris

"A historic theatre whose richly decorated, century‑old interior is designed to evoke a Moorish garden experience — complete with minarets, porticoes, life‑size panther statues and a starry night‑sky ceiling — so the building itself is as much a spectacle as the performances it presents." - Rebekah White

Beautifully restored theatre in central Auckland's Queen Street. This visit was a group of talented NZ musicians playing Neil Young songs which was excellent. The show was a sellout but everything worked smoothly. Helpful and polite staff.

Enjoyed Six, the very energetic musical production portraying feedback from the six wives of Henry VIII. The theatre was a great venue to this. It has been refurbished a few years ago and is a quality venue. Well placed on Queen Street with good basement parking spaces nearby.

What a beautiful building!! Such a classic , romantic, beautifully made structure. A massive theater! Seating is a little snug, but it's expected at these venues. The Toilets were the only thing I'd say anything negative about, they were hard to find and not easily accessible. They were quite hidden and quite small, but I understand it's an old building. Overall I loved my experience here

Went to see Six and it was Fantastic. The theater has the most amazing architecture. The seats are quite roomy though not much leg space if you're taller. But it was a fantastic place.

Always love seeing shows at this beautiful theatre in Auckland City. Love the architecture inside and looking up to see the stars!!

We watched the Lord of the Rings musical here. Very grand and Thai-inspired interior. Staff were really helpful with helping us find our seats. Theatre was large and clean. Can be a bit of a maze looking for the bathroom though.

The Civic is such a beautiful theatre. The seating configuration is fantastic and the stage is visible from most seating locations. It’s always a pleasure seeing a show here. The staff are welcoming and hospitable.
