Theater & Cinema in Auckland

“Vivi skin clinic is amazing. Vanessa knows her stuff, is kimd and super professional and her room is inviting relaxing and has the most wonderful view”

“Great theatre. Warm and friendly staff. 'Are you being served' was a wonderful show, a real laugh.”

“Great company, great people, great software”

“My mom and I were in Auckland for a few days and wanted to go see a play and we ended up getting tickets to White Men. The venue was gorgeous, the show was great, and overall it was just a lovely atmosphere! If either of us ever go back to Auckland, we will definitely be looking to see another show here! Highly recommend!”

“Another iconic place in Auckland for theatre and arts. Wonderful performances and a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts.”

“The best part are the acoustics. You have very good sound quality wherever you sit. The staff are friendly and helpful and the shows are always of a very high caliber.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of attending "The Importance of Being Earnest," while I was in Auckland for a weekend getaway from the South Island. I must say, it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. The production was thoroughly entertaining and the impeccable delivery of Wilde's witty dialogue had the audience in stitches throughout the entire play. What truly stood out, however, was the passion and dedication of the entire theatre company. It was evident that every member of the cast and crew poured their heart and soul into this production. In a world where big-budget productions often dominate the theatre scene, it's refreshing to see a smaller theatre company deliver such a stellar performance. They prove that talent, creativity, and a genuine love for the craft can shine just as brightly on a smaller stage. I wholeheartedly recommend attending a production to anyone seeking a night of laughter, culture, and brilliant theatre.”

“probably the best lecture theater in Albany campus but it is too cold because of the air conditionor”

“Great facilities for performances and classes. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“Beautiful theatre, reception was friendly. The waiting room is bit small and became overcrowded before the show and with interval. But I will be back there, was an enjoyable evening.”

“Attended a Fever show - Live Jazz! Fantastic venue. Warm & cosy - comfy chairs and a tidy glass of wine!”

“Outstanding customer service from Lucy the manager at Ponsonby Silky Otter. She couldn’t have been more kind, friendly and keen to assist. Everyone needs a Lucy as their store manager. Thank you Lucy really appreciate you.”

“Very nice small theater, very good acting and props”

“Saw "The Play that goes wrong" here. Absolutely fantastic, I haven't laughed this hard in ages, I may have also snorted. Would recommend to everyone. Also great intimate theatre with comfy seats. Thanks Waterfront, great evening.”

“Update- this little place no longer operates as a cafe. But instead is a cute venue and pizzeria and bar. Hours can vary so best to check out when they are open for pizza and drinks. The best little cafe in Westmere. We went to a birthday party here and it had an awesome private tiny theatre and private garden. There was also the public cafe with delicious food and coffee.”

“...love this place and Ministry amen thanks regards”

“Our choir had a wonderful experience performing at the Auckland Town Hall! The venue is beautiful, with amazing acoustics and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were helpful, and the hall’s historic charm made our performance even more special.”

“Wonderful movie theatre. My girls and I throughly enjoyed going there and the lady who processed our tickets and food was Amazing. We'll be back x”

“Great place for picnics. Provides shelter from the sun, wind and rain. Cafe close by, should you want to go for coffee after your picnic. Kids like to play there. Usually, it's quiet there.”

“Barbara Jenner's review above has confused two venues. She is criticising the large Torbay Community Hall which is owned by the TCA - Torbay Community Association. Torbay Theatre, an amateur theatre group, owns the small Gate Theatre which is attached to the Hall. I hope this clarifies things?”

“Such a fantastic building with tons of culture. A cozy theatre just big enough for the medium sized event. While awaiting the upcoming performance the theater itself gives so much to look at and admire. Parking building around the corner but tight streets, may suggest Uber to your event.”

“my son has been on Youth Theatre classes run by Tim Bray Productions. Its been absolutely great to see him growing confidence in speaking in front of others and being willing to share his ideas with others. He's been enjoying so much as it is also a lot of fun playing with friends together. it's a really great way to get kids involved with learning in social and individual ways.”

“It was a 5 star performance. The cast performed Young Frankenstein.”

“Last international act I saw was back in the 80s in the 'super top' with UB40. Boy things have changed. And for the better. Plenty of kiosks & free water. The arena's sound system is 1st class & its probably the way I would like to see acts from overseas.”

“Beautiful venue with ample parking close. Show we went to see was great. Snacks and drinks available. Kids friendly.”

“Went to the Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre last weekend to watch a musical play! It was easy to access!! Since the play was in the evening lots of parking were available at the back of the building and the seats were comfortable inside the theatre. It was quite spacious and could fit over 100 people!!”

“The staff here were very accommodating after I had mistakenly booked wheelchair tickets for the Commodores concert as someone who's not physically disabled. They switched up our seats with some empty seats and allowed me and my partner to still sit together. The centre is very nice and comfortable, and there is free water from the fountain.”

“Hawkins Theatre in Papakura is now open after refurbishment. Hawkins theatre is a great place to meet with friends and enjoy each others company while catching a movie, school performances, Dane competitions, events and awards, The Glow Show, or a fun time with Operatunity!! You can purchase ice-cream, coffee, biscuits, or wine at the bar. You can take them into the theatre with you also. If you are a senior and purchase your tickets online for the movies, currently they are only $10:00. Hawkins theatre is also a lovely place to take the grandchildren/mokopuna for the movies anytime. There is often a Ladies night, which costs $24 or $26 depending if you purchase in advance or at the door. Thus usually involves a chick flick(however some me do attend) a drink of any kind and an ice-cream. A great deal. Here are a few photos of the April program to pique your interest.”

“Good facilities , it operates well for the community with interesting events and close to Devonport”

“Glover Park is a neat and tidy playground suitable for all ages. It is close to the sports fields, toilets and the Glover Park Path #DiscoverFun #GloverPark #aucklandplaygrounds #aucklandkids #kidsinauckland #playground #kiwikids #Playz”
