We just watched Amplified. What a show. What a performance. What a story.
Sheridan Harbridge delivered a sharp, physical, emotionally precise performance while honouring the spirit and impact of Chrissie Amphlett. The writing stayed tight and focused. Sound and lighting worked as part of the action. The show respected the legacy while telling a clear, human story and left a strong impression well after the final moment.

Came here to see Wil Anderson, Yong and Carl Barron. Being at such a gorgeous venue with so much history is a privilege. Absolutely beautiful experience each time.Thank you Ballarat.

Phenomenal looking theatre with gorgeous old architecture, but I wouldn't normally leave a review about such a theatre if it wasn't for the kindness of the staff. Extra special shout to Lizzy for helping get my hotel key back after I'd lost it in the theatre and had to come back to get it. Exceptional service from a gentleman working there as well but I didn't catch his name. Resolved a very stressful situation for me with kindness, which couldn't have been easy after a big chaotic concert. Will be back for future events :)

Went and saw a comedy act there - Staff were lovely. Unfortunately toilet signs need to be clearer, got lost and ended up near the lift, ended up realising they are down further near the entry doors to the stage area its self, down stairs and next floor. 😢
