Theatre
Sydney Theatre
(http://www.sydneytheatre....). a larger, more modern theatre across the road from the water, and around 300m further up hickson road. again, it has a bar open before shows and at intermission. it is a larger theatre than the wharf theatres, seating nearly 1000.
The Sydney Theatre Company STC is based in the Rocks. They have a season of shows at both the Wharf Theatre and the Sydney Theatre, which are across the road from each other. The company has a mix of local and international dramatic productions.
Between times, there are are often some other shows on at the theatres. You never quite know what you are going to get at an STC production. A story that falls flat, or a production to remember. The production values are high, but you certainly won't be seeing the latest production of Wicked, or the Lion King there. Try the theatres in the City Centre or at Star City for that.
