About Mercury Theatre

Auckland's oldest surviving theatre, on Mercury Lane in the city centre, built in 1910. We hear the theatre has been closed since May 2022 for a major restoration, and it is expected to reopen in 2028. When it reopens, the website says it will seat 800 people with better accessibility, and the floor seats can be removed to allow up to 1,000 standing. It is owned by the Equippers Property Trust, a charitable trust.
