Exploring the Theaters

Melburnians love their theater and major shows often open in Melbourne first. If you want to take in Broadway or West End-style theater in grand surroundings, check out what's playing at the Regent and the Princess. Both are owned by Marriner Theatres, which lovingly restored the Regent for its re-opening in the mid-1990s. You can tread the boards (i.e., act on stage) with a theater-loving tour guide on the Historic Rambles tour. Contact Wilma Farrow (003/9820-0239) for the details.
