Her Majesty's Theatre

Adelaide


Big on musicals and comedy, this grand old city theatre was built in 1913 and originally had seating for around 1000 people. A major renovation project, underway when we visited, will ramp this up to 1500 by 2019. Managed by the Adelaide Festival Centre. No current box-office, until the renovations are complete.
