   Efficient check in and seating. A lovely old building that must have seen a lot of performances in its time.

   Saw Tina Turner (tribute singer) she was amazing. The Theatre is beautiful & easy access to toilets and bar. The theatre itself is a bit small but it's a great location & an artistic part of Christchurch pre earthquake that still stands & was respectfully upgraded.

   Beautiful theatre to host the Royal New Zealand Ballet performance of the Nutcracker. Very comfortable seating, even for my pregnant wife. We were at the very back of the stalls and our view was still decent. Staff were very helpful directing us to the right seats. Good half-time refreshments out back.

   The most amazing experience at Blood Brothers 4pm Show on Sunday., the show was outstanding. Over and above that, was the extra attention given to me by a lovely usher , having very recently had a foot fracture and I was in a moonboot with crutches. Thank you Maggie for popping my crutches away under my seat for me and getting me a small pillow to put my leg on and also coming back at half time to say you had tried unsuccessfully to find me another seat so that I could put my foot up more comfortably. Your kindness was very much appreciated.

   Isaac is the iconic highlight of the city! Both exterior and interior are unique Edwardian style, rebuild completely after earthquake. The atmosphere inside is just great with close to the stage creating unique bond between performers and spectators. We have visited multiple times for various events, concerts and plays and it never disappoints. Staff is super helpful and friendly offering fantastic service from the moment you step through the doors. Only improvement will be if seats were more comfortable and the design of seats is not the best as if someone tall sits in front of you it will block the view, but you can still manage for 2 hours.

   Beautiful theatre!!! Been there many times over the past 35 years including performing there as a child. I would recommend purchasing tickets earl to ensure a seat close to the stage. The seats up high can make it difficult to see the stage well.

   Beautiful, old theatre. I have been here for various things over the years. Just enough upgrades to make it feel slightly modern without losing too much of its historical charm. I didn't cry at the ballet, though. It's still a fantastic venue for shows!

   We had a lovely night out for two days attending comedy shows. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the theatre. The seats were comfortable even though the elbow space was narrow. They did a good job restoring the theatre after the earthquake. Love the bathroom, and the decor was nice.
