After years of planning, a new theatre has been announced for Parramatta and it’s comparable to Sydney and Melbourne’s best.
The curtain has risen on the design of a new 1500-seat theatre at Parramatta estimated to cost $188 million. The new venue will aim to bring Broadway-quality shows to the Sydney’s second CBD for the first time.
Theatre producer Rodney Rigby said, “Right now in my pipeline, as of today, I have three musicals that could play here in Parramatta, but there is no venue to accommodate them. The building of this theatre will allow producers like myself to play shows after 2028.” Riverside Theatre director Craig McMaster said: “We don’t talk about the building ageing, but it’s a venue that’s probably past its capacity more than anything,” he said. “One of the joys and problems we have with the Riverside at the moment is that we’re fully occupied most of the time. We have so much demand for bookings here that we can’t service.
