The Music Hall, Victorian-style theatre in Neutral Bay, Sydney, Australia.
The Music Hall featured dining tables in place of traditional stalls and contained an upstairs bar called The Handle Bar in the former dress circle.
Originally constructed as the Hoyts Southern Cross Cinema in 1921, George Miller and Lorna Miller transformed the venue into a dinner theatre in 1961.
Productions at The Music Hall centered on Victorian-era melodramas with audience participation, presenting shows like East Lynne and Lady Audley's Secret.
The venue accommodated 500 guests and offered weekday luncheons plus evening performances where patrons could dine while watching theatrical shows.
Staff members, including waiters and box office personnel, wore Victorian costumes while working in the theatre decorated with velvet drapes and ornate furnishings.
