Playhouse, Melbourne

The Playhouse is just one of the venues inside the Victorian Arts Centre . Seating almost 900, it is the larger of the two theaters used by the Melbourne Theater Company (MTC). It cannot but have a good name as a consequence--the MTC rarely puts a foot wrong. Being a modern theater viewing from both circle and stalls is fine as seats are well staggered. There is wheelchair access. Refreshments including alcohol are available and can be pre-ordered to avoid interval queues. Admission: Prices, including concessions, vary according to type and time of performance. Subscribing to the MTC's season is excellent value.
