The ultimate venue to experience SIX the Musical
The Civic Theatre's grand foyer welcomes guests with all the panache and theatrical prowess of a building that has seen its fair share of live performances — and once inside you know you're in for something special.
Since its opening in 1929, the Civic Theatre has been the baroque jewel in Newcastle's entertainment crown, thanks to the vision of another renowned Henry, architect Henry Eli White. White's ornate interior features a crowned proscenium arch, an exquisitely detailed grand dome, and Spanish-inspired Royal boxes.
Known for its iconic opulence, the Civic Theatre is regarded as one of the finest theatres in NSW, attracting a continuous stream of high-calibre international and national tours, many performing to sellout crowds — with SIX the Musical one of the latest to grace the stage.
