Isaac Theatre Royal Concerts 2025

Great show tonight with the 1999 Prince Experience. But the venue is beautiful and well restored. The layout is nice and great to see it survive the quakes

Wonderful live performance in a stunning venue. It was precious to be in the audience for the finale of Kinky Boots 👢 Thanks everyone for a fantastic evening.

Beautiful venue! Fantastic restoration, helpful and friendly staff. They were very well organised and did a fantastic job shepherding all the people. Would have loved to give 5 stars, but the seating was pretty cramped. The whole row had to stand to let anyone past. We went to a concert here and there was barely any space to move around when the crowd was encouraged to get energetic. Accidentally elbowed my neighbour a few times and neither of us are large.

Stunning theatre. Seating a little cramped between seats. Otherwise a great theatre for live shows.

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.
