The Sydney Theatre has an impressive 896-seat auditorium complete with a spacious function room, sprung-floor rehearsal studio, and foyer spaces which are stylish and sweeping.
The Sydney Theatre is where the Sydney Theatre Company performs up to four productions. The Sydney Theatre also hosts some of the best-loved dance and drama production companies from Australia and from all over the world.
Sydney Theatre also has a stylish restaurant which caters pre- and post-theatre diners. The Hickson Road Bistro is conveniently placed in the theatre foyer. The Hickson Road Bistro has an outdoor eating area where one can enjoy the view of the leafy avenue on Hickson Road. The bistro serves modern Australian cuisine all-inclusive of a fast and friendly service.
The Sydney Theatre also has bars where one can get pre-ordered drinks while waiting in queues. Before the show, one can just order and pay for drinks at any of the bars which they can later on collect at the downstairs bar express lane during breaks.
The Sydney Theatre also has a Gleebooks shop which sells a wide range of new and second hand books and DVDs related to the shows performed on stage as well as new releases and specials in different categories like fiction, biography, history, politics or the performing arts such as plays, dance, acting, and theatre crafts. This shop is also a good place to spend some time before or after the theatre show performance. Collapse

Pygmalion
By George Bernard Shaw
In one of the great transformative tales of all time, a feral young flower seller glimpses an opportunity to elevate herself in society and boldly snatches at it, naïve to the potential cost of doing so.
It’s a decision that sees the now iconic character Eliza Doolittle transported into the aristocratic world of one Professor Henry Higgins, where she becomes the subject of a wager between the phonetics expert and his friend Colonel Pickering. Higgins bets that within six months he can turn the wild, cockney Eliza into a lady so refined she could pass for a duchess. It’s a matter of professional pride and intellectual curiosity for Higgins. For Eliza it is a matter of infinitely more complexity.
Taking its name from the Greek myth about the sculptor who fell in love with his statue, George Bernard Shaw’s enduringly popular play Pygmalion has in turn inspired interpretations as diverse as My Fair Lady, Educating Rita and the eighties’ Hollywood flick Pretty Woman. Shaw’s story is one of rags to relative riches but his Eliza is no Cinderella and Higgins is certainly no Prince Charming. In Peter Evans’ new production Andrea Demetriades will play the original feisty flower-girl.
2 hours 15 minutes, including interval

Midsummer
(a play with songs)
By David Greig and Gordon McIntyre
It’s midsummer in Edinburgh. And, of course, it’s raining.
Helena, a divorce lawyer, and Bob, a petty criminal, were strangers until only a few hours ago. Now they stumble to Helena’s apartment where they share a drunken but surprisingly enjoyable one night stand. Then they say goodbye. After all, these two romantic failures agree that ‘love is just another word for need’.
The Berocca has yet to kick in when chance reunites the two and, through the hangover haze, they make the wildly impulsive decision to spend the 25 grand of hot cash that Bob is en route to deliver to a low-level gangster.
So begins the legendary lost weekend; a joyous 24-hour spending spree that sends Bob and Helena spinning through the soggy city. As they roam the familiar streets the unlikely pair discovers that even the most committed solitaries have the potential to change direction.
A hit at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, this romantic comedy with songs was created for the Traverse Theatre by playwright David Greig and Gordon McIntyre of indie folk-rock group Ballboy.
With more than a dollop of Scottish toughness, Midsummer (a play with songs) is an ocean away from the shimmering Hollywood rom-coms that have skewed Helena’s ideas about love. These characters are real and watching them break the shackles of everyday life with a reckless act of rebellion is both liberating and uplifting.
