Top 5 Performing Arts in Victoria

The Malthouse, 113 Sturt St, Southbank VIC 3006, Australia

“Malthouse outdoor theatre is the best! Service to your table, cool setting, not crowded and above all, outstanding performances - what more can you ask for!”

St Kilda Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia

“It’s a nice park just right next to the city. There are many roses around at the moment. Nice and quiet place to sit on the benches.”

377 Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“We had such a blast at Trapt with our crew of escape artists. We had drinks before and after at the bar and were able to sit in the spacious seating area as we filled out waivers and prepared for the room. The room itself was pretty cool and complex, we split into two teams and played against each other with five in each room. It was the Harry Potter themed room and we ended up getting through it with no help, with both teams coming out victorious at the end. Certainly a great starter room with the ability for more puzzles should you want to continue to push yourself following your escape and learn more. The staff were wonderful and so welcoming. It felt very chill for a Friday night and everyone on the staff was in such good spirits. We had a blast with them as much as in the room itself. Would love to go back and try other rooms, and recommend it for parties, with its late opening time and bar for everyone to enjoy.”

84 Dudley St, West Melbourne VIC 3003, Australia

“We had a brilliant night. The show was hilarious and really well done. Plenty of food and the cocktails delicious. The staff and actors were exceptional and made you feel part of the show. Highly recommend for a great night out!”

120/130 Southbank Blvd, Southbank VIC 3006, Australia

“Absolutely Amazing! Just watched the MSO Star Wars performance and it has left me speechless. Definitely a must do in Melbourne!”

AC/DC La, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Wonderful place, amazing Graffiti’s and nice views. Place that do you have to visit when come to Melbourne.”

21 Graham St, Albert Park VIC 3206, Australia

“🎭🎨 A lovely art gallery cum park that also hosts theatre, I stumbled upon this place on a weekend. It was a good decision, since there was hardly any public around except for the staff, so it was a peaceful. The 2 galleries held a small but lovely collection of artworks by various local artists, most of which were up for sale as well. A piano is placed in a lovely spot, which I liked quite a bit. And the gate to this place, is beautiful. There are some studios where sculpture and similar arts are taught, which were closed on Saturday. Great green park, with some people just hanging out, playing with their dogs. It's a lovely place to visit. Also, there's no entry fee!”

50 Little Malop St, Geelong VIC 3220, Australia

“We went to watch Pseudo Echo. The venue was fantastic. The venue staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a coffee and sweet at the Cafe in the foyer while we waited for the show to begin. I highly recommend this venue if you are seeing a show.”

170 Russell St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Relatively intimate venue for live music. Great if you can get to a center position. If it's packed, some views are obstructed from the side. But it's always close enough to feel like you're in the action and catch the vibe of the performer.”

17 Duke St, Abbotsford VIC 3067, Australia

“2024: Great for pres or just a night of frothies. Laid back and super casual, love the 90's throwback. The Margherita Simpson and Leonardo DiCapricciosa are punny as hell.”

Corner of Smith and Albert Streets, 1 Civic Pl, Warragul VIC 3820, Australia

“Great venue for a concert or a performance. We saw Goanna perform last night. Great acoustics and visibility from most parts of the hall.”

89 Malop St, Geelong VIC 3220, Australia

“Its a lively, clean and vibrant place but it is expensive. The kids do have fun and the variety of games is awesome. The place is colourful, clean and lots going on. There is a great variety of games and laserhunt/lasertag. It would be fun for adults on a date night, or teens catching up with friends and playing lasertag but it's not affordable to be at for very long. It has a fun, busy atmosphere and is usually worth saving to take my kids once or twice a year. Only taking 1 star off because of issues with the cards last 2 times I went as well as not liking the prizes value for tokens. With our card issue, even after discussing it when we noticed on the first game the resolution was penalised by replacing the card with one that had limited access to games. Could only use half the arcade machines and my kids couldn't use the ones they were excited about. I felt so sad and like a let down to them. They were so excited all week to go here but luckily they still were grateful. When you put aside and pay for something pricey, you don't judge the price because all businesses have overheads and reasons for their prices but you do just hope you get what you pay for. The kids still love it though so it is worth saving for as a treat once or twice a year. As well as the birthday parties my kids have attended there it had seemed like kids have a great time. I do believe most of the time they get it right, the staff are very welcoming and friendly, it's just unfortunate we had our issue twice in a row.”

Shop 1/369-371 Mont Albert Rd, Mont Albert VIC 3127, Australia

“A fun and inviting store. The staff are friendly and have a lot of knowledge. Highly recommend checking out this hobby store.”

50 View St, Bendigo VIC 3550, Australia

“The Plant and Paige Unleaded performance was truly wonderful. The venue is good! We enjoyed the experience!!”

231 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“I could not praise enough. I had the best time here, could not stop laughing and had a great drink (or two)!!! The talent of the comedians paired with the great atmosphere of the crowd made it so much fun. You can NOT miss this place and have to go to one of the shows at least once. 20/10 AMAZING.”

392 High St, Echuca VIC 3564, Australia

“The town's theater scene, alive with energy and enthusiasm, adds another layer to its cultural tapestry. The live theatre shows in Echuca are not just performances; they are experiences that transport the audience to different worlds, evoking a range of emotions and sparking conversations that linger long after the curtains fall.”

519 Brunswick St, Fitzroy North VIC 3068, Australia

“If you’re into punk, psychedelic or anything alternative I couldn’t recommend this record store enough, great selection, Richie introduced us to so many new artists, will be back for sure!”

6 Brasser Ave, Dromana VIC 3936, Australia

“My partner & I stopped by JimmyRum on a trip around Mornington and it's definitely a stop that shouldn't be missed. My partner tried a tasting paddle and I had a cocktail. Both were well made and beautifully presented. I know it's a Rum Distillery and the Rum was great, the food was the highlight for both of us! We couldn't pick a favourite out of the three dishes we chose. Overall definitely worth a visit!”

113 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“I had so much fun with my friends. Great time to spend at the weekend. The musician are amazing. Beautiful voices and guitar. Love Paula Rodriguez”

1 Church St, Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

“Well that was a darn good night. A friend suggested going to see Umbra Moon who was also wonderfully supported by 2 other acts, Remy and Ishan.. I didn't know this bandroom existed and I'm 10 minnies away, but it was bloody good craic. Felt intimate, was fun and just great to support local music! Staff were great. Busy and still friendly. Post gig, ended up dancing away in the bar area. Unfortunately, it was a zip free event heh heh, but I'm sure he gave no woofs about it as he has to get through 4kg of treats.”
