Regent on Broadway, Category 1 heritage performance center in Palmerston North, New Zealand
Regent on Broadway is a performance venue with about 1400 seats across two levels, split between ground floor stalls and an upper circle. The building contains nine dressing rooms, three bars, and a dedicated rehearsal space for ballet and stage preparation.
The building originally opened in 1930 as Theatre Beautiful and served as an important cultural hub. After extensive renovation, it reopened in 1998 with its current name, marking a new chapter in its long service to the community.
The venue hosts a year-round mix of international touring productions, comedy shows, and local theater performances. Visitors experience a wide range of performing arts that reflect both international and regional talent.
The venue sits on Broadway Avenue and is easy to find. The box office operates on weekdays from 9 AM to 3 PM, with additional hours opening one hour before each performance.
The building includes a second-floor function room used for events and receptions away from the main stage. This separate space allows for different types of gatherings and celebrations alongside regular performances.
