Reviews of Napier Municipal Theatre
J.Always a pleasantly comfortable intimate performance experience. Good number of toilet facilities, access for wheel chairs too. Good quick refreshments service.
t.Never been inside but if you skate there's a sick crusty wallride at the back of the municipal theatre and it's rad, I'm sure the shows are top notch also
S.Such a great venue for dance recitals, ballet performances & classical music. The seats in the circle are not made for long legs though! The gorgeous architecture takes away the focus from that though...
P.The Theatre was closed for the couple of days I was in Napier, and I resigned myself to not getting inside.
A lone staff member took pity on the Ozzie trying to see through the dark entrance.
A quick chat, and he gave me a tour of the amazing interior, even turning on the Light system.
It's a truly amazing space, and combination of the Art Deco interior with world class lighting is truly amazing, and a credit to the City of Napier.
d.My all time favourite theatre in the world, nothing can beat the familiar but whimsical feel it brings, would love to see some more ballets and shows etc
P.Really awesome 1000-odd seat venue with stalls and circle seating. In the art deco style as so much of post-quake Napier buildings are, but thoroughly up-to-date features, including very effective air-conditioning.
m.Wish the dudes would tour again. Love the guys and the show. Sad to see them say farewell.
J.March2021: what a treat.
I'm not a local....
Stopped in and watched some very talented pianists. Ranging in age 5-15yrs. Playing classical, jazz and a modern piece as well. This place has a lot happening. A local ballet class a doing Bad Jelly the Witch. I see the Queen Tribute will be there too. It's actually just lovely to go into this building, it's old and beautiful.
N.We had a great time, the theater itself was easy to find and the seating was great.
D.It is a delightful building and cosy Theatre. Last night was Ben Elton and the cosy size brought his comedy and presence close. Next week we have the Pink Floyd Experience. Quality live music should be a great rest of the acoustics.
K.Hansel and Gretel. Visited the ballet tonight. It was fantastic. I've seen a lot of ballets at the venue, but this was certainty the best for me. A must see.
D.Excellent art deco theatre that hosts great artists. Ben Elton, Opera, the Pink Floyd Experience, eclectic and covers most tastes.
H.A great place for bands and concerts. We are proud to have this amazing theater here in Our lovely Napier
L.Amazing theatre with lots of space inside.
Well maintained.
Awesome loud powerful speakers.
R.Went down for Concert band, wonderful people would reccomend!
Good spacious area and a nice over-all theatre.
Ryan,
O.I'd Enjoyed being part of the Action of Te Waka haka
I was the guy right behind the nice Lady in the middle, Yep the white guy there
N.Beautiful place and suits Napier's art deco theme. Spacious and good leg room in the seats. Lighting is great and the stage is good. Great shows and tours. My only complaint is the seats are a bit scratchy so I suggest wearing long pants or a long skirt
C.This is a beautiful art deco theatre. A couple of niggles, though. Despite sitting only a few rows from the stage, it was quite hard to see the show because of the seating layout. The seats are not terribly comfortable either. However, yhe local production was world-class.
T.Sometimes that AC be on the colder side but other than that love it. I was in a group called project prima volta (ppv), the groups been around for about 9 years now, I was in there for about 5 of those years. We performed there a lot and the only issue we've had is space for bigger groups to rehearsal and do what they have to and more rooms to cater for all!! but other than that love all the memories there will deffs treasure them forever xoxo
S.Have visited this theatre a number of times with a touring band. It's central, easy to access, and has some amazing NZ history. The front foyer is a look back to the 1920's and '30's. The core of the building is old but really well maintained. On tour this is one of my favourite venues in NZ. Staff at the ticket office are awesome!
T.Good acoustics. Jaded look and feel. Could do with an upgrade into the 21st century. Cozy enough to make you feel part of the action.
M.It was really cool watching a performance there is amazing, that's why I rate it 5 stars.
H.Amazing performance tonight, thank you
p.Beautiful art deco theatre. I highly recommend getting a circle seat -was absolutely gorgeous with a good view of the stage.
A.Great acoustics, comfortable seats, plenty of leg room and of course, classic art deco design. The New Zealand Symphony gave a delightful, world-class performance tonight. Fantastic evening!!
M.The theatre has been very well restored back to its Art Deco heyday, even down to the carpets. It's large and comfortable inside.
P.Playing concerts in Napier is always a pleasure; the art-deco style is charming, and the audience is numerous and supportive. Sadly the theatrical drapes of the venue absorb much of the sound, but an acoustically designed sound shell would improve matters.
K.Art deco indoor ceiling is gorgeous. Clean inside. Loads of toilets. Great shows. Lovely bar and friendly staff
R.Beautiful building that's well worth a visit, be it an Opera, performance or show!
K.Great space between the rows make for comfortable entry of late comers. Theatre was kept at a good temperature as well. Always a pleasure to attend a show here. Friendly staff and great environment
V.Great experience. Just been to our third event and will be going again. Highly recommended
J.Seats were VERY close together (no leg space) and quite low. Plenty of space in foyer
M.A lovely old theatre. The architecture outside to inside it is beautifully done. A nice atmosphere. A great place to watch a shows. Has really high ceilings.
H.Love the art deco style of the theatre, show was excellent. We were right at the back and even being vertically challenged I could see and hear everything. Only complaint was it was very hot inside.
K.Good lighting and sound quality pink Floyd experience A+++
B.What a wonderful bit of Art Deco building if you are able to get a chance to see the lights in the theatre and foyer the staff were wonderful especially one member of staff who see we were from the UK went out of her way by showing us the foyer and turning on the Art Deco lighting and taking us into the theatre and spending time with us
I.Another lovely old Art Deco style building.
J.Loved the show. Down side was the aircon in the circle. A very cold night then having consistant cold air pumped down onto my neck was very uncomfortable.
R.Good acoustics. Comfortable seats. Good view of stage. Nice ambience. Handy parking. Wheel chair access.
H.Easy to get to. Good view of the stage. Seating needs renewing. Les Miserable sound volume too loud, it became distorted.
J.Excellent show tonight - Jimmy carr was outstanding. Can't say the same for the venue. It was like an oven! Need some air con or ventilation!
M.Typically Napier in all its Art Deco glory. A lovely theatre for a medium sized town with a great smorgasbord of different entertainment on its menu throughout the year.
A.Beautiful place, good stage, awesome show. West Side Story 2020

P.Enjoyed the Indian Cultural event I attended especially as there was a great fusion of culture. Facility good, accessibility great. Staff friendly.
S.The Municipal buildings were Spacious and very Functional. Our New Approach Hui was the feature of our "Tour of duty" on the EAST COAST of the North Island. 18 August. The Public response was spectacular and many came to JESUS. The hihilights of the presentations were The testimonies relayed by our X-MEN TEAM. MEN who were once the terror of our land; shared of lives turned around an hope that is now on dusplay in their home. Plus the backing our our Senior Ministers, Apostle Bishop Brian Tamaki & Pastor Hannah Tamaki and the National MANUP & LEGACY DIRECTORS; Elder Caine & Jamie Warren.
