Regent Theatre, Grand theater in Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia
The Regent Theatre features a Gothic lobby, Louis XVI auditorium, and Spanish Baroque ballroom across multiple levels accommodating 2143 spectators.
Following its 1929 inauguration, the theater survived a devastating fire in 1945 that destroyed the auditorium while leaving the foyers intact.
The venue presents major theatrical productions, including The Lion King, Sunset Boulevard, and the world premiere of King Kong in its ornate setting.
The theater completed extensive renovations in 2019, adding flexible seating configurations, leather chairs, and restored ornamental plasterwork throughout the building.
The basement houses the Plaza Ballroom, which maintains separate programming for concerts and events beneath the main performance space.
