Description
Originally constructed in 1929 as New Zealand's first purpose-built cinema for talkies, this 2,378-seat Auckland CBD venue now stages major musicals, live theatre, concerts, cabaret, and guided tours. Drinks and snacks are available on site at Stark's Café and Bar, though visitors should note that the multi-level layout includes many stairs that present challenges for disabled guests.
