Reviews of The Regent on Broadway

K. “. R.

This is a beautifully appointed theatre, and quite grand for a small city. The acoustics are pretty good, and a wide range of acts and performances is catered for. The ticketing people are helpful and ushers are respectful and supportive. Seating is fully tiered as should be expected. It pays to be mindful when parking before an event as there is no specific theatre parking; you will need to find your own parking within the central city, or organise other travel arrangements, so plan to be a little early.

P. O.

Magnificent venue; the auditorium alone is worth the price of admission. Acoustics were great (to my amateur ear) and seats comfortable. Sight lines were also good.

j. m.

Wonderful concert and so good to be back enjoying music. The theatre was warm despite the miserable conditions outside.

C. K.

Went to Regent with three grandies. Viewed Sing a long with Frozen songs. Excellent voices and clever use of stage with minimal stage set. However l consider $36.00 for one hour ten minutes. rather steep in pricing. Would really like a breakdown of what council gets. How much show gets . .Many beautiful little Elsa's and Anna's in costume who appeared to love show.

K. B.

Very cool old theatre, great sound and views from the circle for the concert. Only gripe would be that it's far too hot when sitting upstairs. Air con not good enough for the big area.

G. E.

Watched the Pink Floyd Experience at the Regent on Broadway. Awesome concert at a great venue.

C. T.

I love this venue, its my favourite place to perform I perform here all the time! The staff, the dressing rooms, the seats, the auditorium, love it all!!

R. H.

R. R.

The 3 F's.. Omg! Our seats were Fantastic... A great view. the show we saw was Fabulous Howard Morrison take. and lastly un... Forgettable. Talked about the show for day's.

S. B.

One of the two best theatres in NZ, I think. Stunning foyer of marble and light, and with a feel of history and age (if only walls could talk). Pretty good acoustics and can attract a good local crowd. Toured through here a few times with an international touring band, and we all love it!

K. L.

Great place seats are comfortable and shows always good down size is so hard to get a park so make sure you make time to find a car park when going to a show

R. S.

Went and saw The Pink Floyd Experience for the second time. Easy access and seating is good. Good amenities.

Beautiful Theatre! feels very royal!

B. W.

Went to watch the Dance Performances. It was awesome

m. a.

They certainly don't make places like this anymore and mores the pity. This place is so old school and fancy. Just going is a treat in itself.

R. L.

Beautiful place for concert. We went to see a musical.

C. D.

Sole mio great show. Absolutely packed. But everyone showed patience regarding seating etc. Nice friendly staff.

A. S.

Awesome venue for an epic dance show

C. K.

Sister act was a amazing show. The regent was very well organized with the seating because of COVID restrictions and we were still able to see the stage from all angles.

A marvellous place to see concerts as I went to the pink Floyd experience and it was a very good one. I've seen them in takapuna North shore Auckland.

D. G.

Beautiful theatre centrally located helpful staff a great venue for a show or concert.

C. S.

We had the traditional Chinese performance to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival here, the great facilities and platform helped our show look fantastic.

K. W.

Lovely place comfortable seating awesome atmosphere on the day of graduation will make a nice venue for a wedding

J. B.

Fantastic show and the crowd were awesome at following all the instructions under level 2. How great to have a theater that can accommodate this.

N. W.

A good spot for Massey University graduations as well as theatrical and concert performances, despite what John Cleese thinks.

R. G.

Great historical building that hosts many events in the region.

P. R.

Its lovely, the perfect venue for special celebrations with its grand staircase & multiple function rooms in the middle of town. Any seat downstairs in the auditorium has full view of the stage.

J. G.

Nice staff, comfortable seating although a bit oddly numbered but we got there, great place for events.

C. N.

A theatre with heritage and super professional setup that can accomodate community as well as the most demanding pro gigs. The space is versatile and transforms as needed. Book your wedding here or come to see the biggest big bands, this venue will charm you with its shows and activities.

A beautifully restored Art Deco theatre.The staff are very welcoming and usher you to your seats.There is a refreshment shop downstairs where you can quench your thirst.Inside there is a grand staircase and beautiful chandeliers can be seen throughout the theatre.Surrounding the stage are rich velvet burgundy drapes and above is hand painted artwork and friezes surrounding the walls.The ceilings are ornate and colourful.The seating upstairs and downstairs is very comfortable.A magnificent place to watch a show.

S. G.

Good venue however food & drink choices very limited, & they sell some separately away from bar & for cash only.

E. P.

We went to see 7 days live here and found it to be a great venue. The bars were a bit congested due to the place being sold out but they had a second bar upstairs and the staff did their best to get through the lines fast.

A. P.

R. G.

We love the regent on Broadway. The staff are cheerful and helpful. The building is gorgeous. There is a great selection of top notch shows and concerts on offer year round.

Nice art deco theatre. Tickets to everything seems to be wildly expensive here but this may not be solely the theatres fault. Be aware that with the front seats, if you sit Infront of a tall person or you have a child < 8, you or the child may get an obstructed view of the stage.

T. S.

Went here for my sister's graduation so can't help but love the place!

Great example of a classic city theatre which was nicely redecorated in the 1990's (?). It's a great asset for the city with touring concerts performing their and also puts on local shows, school productions, dance competitions etc.

E. L.

Really enjoyed Les Misérables opening night...

Beautiful venue, great tech team

Great show great theater.

P. S.

Although a bit dates it's a great venue, perfect location with parking and great bars nearby. The prices are much cheaper than for events in Wellington which is great for me living halfway between the two cities. We went to a showing of Rocky Horror, the staff were excellent, great fun, inclusive and helpful. Spraying us with water during raining scene was a memorable and fun touch!

A. G.

D. W.

Great place with some history.

f. 7.

I LOVE this theatre. Bloody lovely

F. K.

The seats are designed for a fast exit after three hours. Less room than cattle class on an airline but maybe people were smaller in the 20s. Really enjoyed the show we went to last night, Jeremy Corbett and the 7Days crew did not disappoint. Best theater experience you'll get this side of Wellington.

A. K.

Great place with lots of character.

J. W.

Ashhurst school must be complimented on putting on such a wonderful production!

M. F.

The chauffeurs are a little bitchy and but the atmosphere is fantastic

J. J.

Fabulous show, but got a little cold towards the end

Awesome experience every time

V. P.

Wonderful performance of Messiah by Palmerston North Choral Society and Manawatu Sinfonia.

E. A. S.

Pros - beautiful venue, friendly staff, Art Deco charm. Cons - dressing rooms are a bit stuffy; not much could be expected of PAs that is old, outdated and sounds tinny (could do with tech upgrade for the benefit of both patrons and performers).

J. M.

Watching dance NZ - so many great shows here in Palmerston North

I went to see Pink Floyd, last night. What a night.

Great staff and lovely atmosphere

D. H.

Lovely theater

M. B.

This beautiful old-style theatre recently hosted the National Ngā Manu Kōrero Annual Speech Competitions. We attended for one of the two days of competition. The atmosphere is grand, whilst maintaining a pleasing intimacy. The views and accoustics were really good. I love old theatres with easy-grade staircases for less mobile audience members. You can a sense of community with other audience members whilst being drawn in to the on-stage performances in a personal way. I'd love to have reason to visit again. Tau kē!

Wonderful venue

S. M.

So fortunate to have this in Palmy!

Beautifully restored historical theatre. A lot of shows throughout the year, from international acts to school productions. Could have a better selection at the bar though.
