The Broadway Theatre is in a prime location in the centre of the town. Originally built as an Odeon cinema in 1937, the cinema closed in 1991 and stood idle for 6 years. It was purchased in 1997 and converted by a local entrepreneur into a theatre and art gallery, reopening as a 1,200 seat theatre in 2001.
The interior of the Auditorium has been tastefully modernised but retains some of its original Art Deco character. The colour schemes are primarily creams and browns and the seats are well spaced and comfortable. There is an upstairs Circle Foyer bar with a reasonable amount of seating and the bar staff were friendly and helpful.
I went to see the Australian Pink Floyd, a rock band, and band looked a little cramped on stage, but otherwise the performance and sound quality were both very good.
Nice small comfortable venue, recommended.
