Amid the laughter and tears, through times of war and times of affluence, The Grand Old Lady of South King Street has remained a vital and ever changing expression of Irish culture and Irish society.Long home to the familiar faces of Maureen Potter, Niall Toibin, John B. Keane, Anna Manahan, Des Keogh and Rosaleen Linehan, whose bronze handprints, are set into the pavement in front the theatre, together with those of Luciano Pavarotti and Brian Friel, are testament to the longstanding association these great artists have had with Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre."

Amazing theatre! There are toilet facilities and you can get food such as popcorn or M&Ms in the bar, where you can also buy drinks! The atmosphere is amazing and though it seems small, there is a lot of place for people. The Riverdance 25 anniversary i went to was just crazy. Time flew by so fast and the performances were incredible.
The show was great, performers are super talented. Seats are small with very little space and would suggest sitting on the lower level or in the centre or one of the boxes at the top level. The side seats face forward but the stage is on the side so your body is turned throughout the show. The place is also not air conditioned so would suggest dressing light and carrying a coat. No photos allowed during the show which is great so you can enjoy the show without phone distractions.
Not just the theatre, but the show, Riverdance made me sit there with tears of joy in my eyes. What an utterly super fantastic must see when in Dublin show. Theatre is really nice but come early to enjoy a seat in the foyer when you have stalles seats. The afternoon performance has a lot of kids in the room so you might want to avoid that. Go!
Tldr; an amazing experience you don't want to miss! We went to see the play The Lonesome West. And it was an amazing experience both on the play, but that would be dependent on what you are coming to see, but also and mainly on the site. That theater is really amazing with great architecture. It was the first time and we knew it was great, but considering the outside, we could not tell how great it is inside. The only thing I could say is that the seats are quite narrow so you better not be too large or tall if you want to be comfortable.
Amazing theatre. The seats are much more spacious compared to the abbey and the gate. I’m so happy they have AC and blasted it during the performance, it made it feel less stuffy inside. The design and architecture is beautiful to look at and the pub for intermission drinks is so cosy! Can’t wait to go again.
Riverdance was so much more than I expected! ...and I was already expecting a fabulous dance show. The theater is not large so the view was pretty good even in row Q. See pic of view from seats 24 and 25. The view of the dancers is not at all obstructed.
Amazing Theatre with a huge variety of shows. You can buy drinks and snacks in the theater büfé and you can bring them in. Be aware that if you buy tickets in the first few rows you will not be able to see the foot of the dancers. it can get really hot by the end of the shows and the rooms can lack air too
Came here to watch 25th anniversary of The River dance. Didn't wait long to get in. Staff were great happy and friendly. Prices of drinks weren't that extortionate either. The theatre was quite small lovely designs on ceilings and balcony. We sat in row F 16/17 bang smacked in the middle and wasn't too close to the front. Show was brilliant too. Staff were at the doors to bid us all goodbye on the way out and "hoped we enjoyed the show" how nice is that.
My mom and I had the privilege of seeing the mouse trap here. We really enjoyed the play and the acting. For the price of a private balcony we had expected the chairs to be much more comfortable. The theater was beautiful and the bar area to wait was enjoyable.
Went to the iconic panto at the Gaiety. It's really for families taking kids but also great entertainment for adults. Location is near St Stephens Green. Our panto is funny, colourful, had great stage art; the dancers were both child and adult and very professional, the singing was excellent. It's a fun irish family tradition at Christmas to be experienced and enjoyed no matter your age.
