Baxter Theatre Reviews

Golden Arrow theater, nice intimate setting. Thank you, Riaad Moosa!!!

1st time there and absolutely loved it. Easy access, clean facilities, gorgeous main theatre and so the list can go on.

Thanks for brilliant show once again. Recommend it to anyone.

Wow! Excellent theatre! The Goat was a gut-punching metaphor, but the performances by Jennifer Steyn and Lionel Newton were outstanding!

Enjoyed the comedy show. Smooth ticketing system, great atmosphere

Safe parking, Comfy seats, the accoustics in the theater are great. Snacks and coffee are 'okay'.

Big open theatre with great acoustics and plenty of room for you to sit. Wheelchair friendly, hearing impaired help, nice variety of shows year-round and a great cafe to go with it. One of the best in Cape Town.

More seating could be allocated in the foyer while waiting for the show..

Good show but seating right on top of each other and exit doorway/corridor very narrow for amount of people. Definitely problems if emergency evacuation.

Quality productions over quantity and great chill spots in between shows/workshops/rehearsals and luncheons

Fantastic show but Very bad outside parking went to watch aunty Merle 2 came out and got a ticket on our window dam no wonder the local support is always minimal

Delightful Indian buffet with affordable prices for students.

Beautiful building and indeed a very good show of the children's jazz band

I always love the shows, but feel that an aircon system can save me from overheating a bit (maybe it was just because I laughed myself into a super at the comedy show )

Aunty Merle was such a brilliant show!!! Lots of laughter!!! Thumbs up!!

My friend and I drive to CPT on the Spur of the moment. On our way I phoned the Baxter Theater for tickets for the show. There were only a few tickets left right at the back. When we got there I was so lucky to get 2 tickets 7 rows from the stage. I love the theater. It's always clean and cosy. Heaters were burning in the foyer. The atmosphere is always very nice and you will bump into one or the other Celeb. There is always enough parking.

Beautiful space for exhibitions and performances. The support team is reliable and always ready to assist

Very disappointed in the sound system at the Baxter. Was not able to follow any of the talk except a few pictures on the screen.

Love the Baxter theatre....food at restaurant excellent and Marc Lottering show was great

The entertainment presented is world class although the theatre building is starting to look a little tired and is long overdue for a make-over in my opinion. Reasonable food and drink prices make it worth a visit for an enjoyable evening.

Went to see Van Wyk and actor Zane Meas portrayed him amazingly. What an actor! They even stocked my favorite Milkstout. This being winter we were freezing. No air conditioners in the one Theatre. They had a few blankets out but not enough though. People were eating and talking during the performance though. That Was disturbing. Other than that the staff are all friendly and it is very neat and clean.

Marc Lottering show is highly recommended... A must see SA... embracing diversity... addressing societal changes in a lighthearted manner making us wonder whether these differences are really worth holding onto... Not so at all since it really nonsensical... Especially if love, care and respect should reign...

Brilliant under the current circumstances with Covid 19..

Baxter is great, however they need to start catering for older people. There are no lifts that take u up to the upper level of the theatre. Also there are no bathrooms there. I saw today a few very elderly ladies struggling walking down the stairs and after the show struggling up the stairs. Surely Baxter management should have started to think of assisting the elderly

The Baxter offers a great variety of shows. Confectionery is expensive and there is never enough parking but the entertainment more than makes up for it.

After all these years there should be more restrooms. And some on different floors, levels. Ridiculous to stand in queues like that.

Overall show experience always good.

Top bar restaurant area should be kept open for after show chilling.

Cool soothing atmosphere. Nice restaurants inside too.

Once a month we experience top class entertainment at the Baxter Theatre for the princely sum of R32, next year will be R35. We are truly blessed to share this with so many other pensioners, provided by the management of the Baxter, thank you.

It's hard to admit, but for 4 years that we have been living in Cape Town, this was my husband's and mine first vist to the Baxter Theatre Centre. We went to see the opera "Don Pasquale" by Gaetano Donizetti and we liked it very much. Unbeknownst to us and despite the prevailing winter outside, the air conditioning was turned on, luckily I was prepared. The guarded car park is just outside the theatre and costs 10 ZAR, which is very convenient. In the theatre you will find all the usual amenities like toilets, a buffet etc. It also has an ATM and is wheelchair accessible. All you would expect from decent theatre and more!

Baxter Theatre is outstanding! I love the design of the roof or lights- and the natural flow of the building. What looks like a small theatre can hold up to 3- 4 shows at once. It truly is such a gem on the old main road of Rondebosch. The vegetarian buffet restaurant is honestly beyond delicious and so reasonably priced. The shows vary which is fantastic for families and friends alike0 because everyone is sure to find something!

The Baxter is Cape Town's premier performing arts venue no matter what they say about Artscape...

Great show, Aunty Merle, it's a Girl!
There needs to be better indication of where lifts are so the elderly can access it with some ease, especially if they're being collected/dropped at the top entrance

Five starts because it's a great venue although if you're new to the place, it's a bit tricky to find your way as you get in the building.

Great venue layout! For church and theatre productions

Great, thoughtful and entertaining productions and festivals!

Great place for shows, comedies, musicals and plays. I have especially enjoyed some of the family comedies as this is where I heard Trevor Noah for the first time, before he became an almost overnight success. We have had many work functions here over the years and it has good memories. Parking is a problem, but then I always arrive early to avoid frustration.

Auntie Merle it's a girl. Was absolutely fantastic well done Mark, the music was wow! The baxter however could do with a upgrade... It has a old civic center feel to it. The food is over priced and tasteless. With such amazing acts performing here, you guys need to step up your game.

Every Nation worships here on Sunday, greater Christian gathering and plays at Baxter Theatre are lovely

Had a great day ysterday at the market. Great idea and feeling in the Baxter. Loved it. Spotlessly clean well organized and amazing goodies and food xxx

Lovely theater and they get more cutting edge art than other theaters

I attended the best show ever in Baxter theatre on Saturday, the type of music and dance was owesome.

Eent2 to see Nic Rabinowitz, who was hysterical, but i found the sound quality a little poor...

Watching the show with some awesome friends was memorable. My girlfriends jumped and jived in their seats. As always the Theatre staff did their thing by accommodating our every whim. The restaurant however needs more staff, they cannot keep up....

Staff always very friendly and helpful, going extra mile. More toilet facilities would be helpful especially when there are a few shows running.

A premium theatre destination in Cape Town and a showcase of several new South African scripts.Added benefit of the delicious vegetarian fare offered by Theresa at her fabulous restaurant. oftheatre

The vegetarian Indian restaurant is fantastic. Food is awesome....

Awesome experience. Watched Aunty Merle the musical. A must see. Laugh a minute. Entertaining and relaxing

Was awesome place looks nice friendly staff and show was even better

So glad the lift is fixed so that those of us who are handicapped can reach the main floor more easily.
