About
Victorian theatre on South King Street with a classic horseshoe auditorium, red plush seating and bars on each level. The programme runs year-round with touring musicals, drama, comedy and dance, plus Dublin’s big Christmas pantomime each winter. Families usually arrive a little before doors to collect tickets and find the right entrance; staff direct you to the Parterre (ground floor) if you want to avoid stairs. Show times vary by production and many runs include weekend matinees. The sound system is clear without being overpowering, and there’s an induction loop in the Parterre. Wheelchair spaces are limited and must be booked in advance. It suits school-age kids for most shows; the panto and summer runs often include family-friendly matinees.
