Closest accessible parking bay is in Lonsdale Street
(near corner of Cohen Place).
PHYSICAL ACCESS
At
the doors facing on to Exhibition Street there is a small
step, which, as you move away from Lonsdale Street is
reduced to a small lip. Doors are usually propped open
during performances. The entrance opens directly into
the foyer, which is small and can become quite congested.
The box office and refreshments bar are located to the
left.
Entrance
For wheelchair users it is possible to negotiate the step
into the front of the building, however, don’t take
it too fast, as there is little area between the steps
and the doors. Alternately the Comedy can provide a step
ramp into a side entrance off Lonsdale Street. Notify
the Princess Theatre box office on Ph: 9299 9800, when
buying a ticket or at least 24 hours prior to the performance
you are attending, if you wish to use this entrance.
AUDITORIUM
Only Stalls can be accessed without steps and can be
accessed directly from the foyer. Seating is mildly raked.
Two central aisles and two side aisles provide plenty
of aisle seats. Side aisle seating is irregularly numbered.
Although the aisles themselves are raked, the back seating
rows have a slight step, providing a level footing surface
for the audience. Access to the Circle is via a large
staircase with handrails. Circle seating is quite steeply
tiered. There is a bar that can be accessed from the Circle
area.
FACILITIES FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS
It is advisable to book wheelchair seating direct with
the Princess Theatre Box Office.
