As we draw very near to the Christmas holiday season and the end of the first decade of the new Millennium, the Isaac Theatre Royal team would like to say a huge thanks to all our 'Friends' as we close our doors for the Xmas and New Year's holidays. Our Offices and Ticketek box office will be closed from Tuesday 22 December at 1pm, re-opening on Monday 11th January at 10am.

2009 saw more sold-out performances than the Isaac Theatre Royal has seen since her refurbishment with shows such as Miss Saigon, Slava's Snowshow, Fly My Pretties, The Russian Ballet’s Swan Lake, Rhythms Of Ireland, and most recently Royal NZ Ballet’s Peter Pan bringing countless thousands of new and regular patrons to the theatre to experience its Edwardian majesty and ensuring the "HOUSE FULL" sign was a regular feature outside the Theatre’s main entrance at 145 Gloucester Street…

2010 is going to be just as good, if not better check out our 2010 forthcoming attractions, but one show that deserves particular mention is...

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor^® Dreamcoat

15-24 April 2010

Christchurch audiences can get in early for their pick of the best seats now that tickets are on sale for the Showbiz Christchurch all new singing and dancing Resene season of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor^® Dreamcoat. The ever-popular classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice blasts onto stage from 15-24th April 2010 at the Isaac Theatre Royal.

Super-charged, warm-hearted, feel-good, and irresistible entertainment at its very best, the famous saga of favoured son Joseph and his coat of many colours comes to vibrant life and provides the platform for a most brilliant and colourful musical fantasy and profusion of musical styles. A must-see theatrical experience for audiences of all ages, this Showbiz Christchurch production follows its very successful 2009 season of the New Zealand Premier of Miss Saigon. Book Now

The Theatre Royal Club

Being largely self-funded, the Isaac Theatre Royal occasionally relies on generous community grants and public patronage to enable her to deliver regular high quality productions and to continually maintain the Theatre to required standards. To continue to realise our objectives, the Board and Theatre Management are proud to announce the formation of "THE THEATRE ROYAL CLUB", an exclusive membership programme for past, present and future Friends of the Theatre. We hope you can join us in meeting our objectives to ensure the Isaac Theatre Royal stands proudly in the local, regional, national and international entertainment industry for years to come.

Membership benefits include preferential bookings to all Isaac Theatre Royal joint productions and opportunities for concession prices, where available, on various other presentations. Members also receive an invitation to the annual Isaac Theatre Royal end of year production or function and the chance to tour the Theatre hosted by a Theatre Royal Club historian.

Read more or download the membership form. There’s a special early bird rate until 31 January 2010.

We hope you can join us either at the Theatre for one of our fine performances in 2010 or join as a Member of the new Theatre Royal Club. You can even join your friends and family to the Club as a Xmas present to them... Whatever you do over the Xmas holidays however, do it safely and have fun while you're doing it. We all wish you a very happy and healthy Xmas and New Year. See you all in 2010.
Kind regards Neil Cox - General Manager & the Team at Isaac Theatre Royal
