Baxter Theatre Review

The Baxter is always a pleasant and professional theatre experience.

My most recent visit was under Level 1 lockdown regulations and it was no different.

All the necessary safety protocols are in place, right down to pens being sanitised before being offered to the next guest.

Undoubtedly the best indoor experience I've had since being able to attend events again.

Very good looking interior and includes a restaurant

Beautiful theatre. Clean. Well managed and organised. Lovely atmosphere. Great variety of shows

A stunning modern theatre attracting international performers.

Always great to visit the Baxter. Loved Aunty Merle the musical.

We went to see a play about the life of Chris van Wyk. The play is worth a 4 star rating. However our jackets were damaged by wet paint on the premises. No warning signs. Staff were sarcastic and management denies responsibility for it.

Today was my first time. I really enjoyed myself. Everything about it was perfect, from the lighting to Amanda Black being a guest singer. I had the best time. This UCT boyfriend thing is working great wow.

Marc Lottering's show was soooo amazing, he is funny to the max!

Always nice watching shows. A nice tuckshop will be great. Also some traffic management when we all leave will be great

Beautiful theatre! Atmosphere is very calm and welcoming!

Very friendly and helpful service it was the best experience that I had at the Baxter Theater while being there

Went to see Kamphoer with Sandra Prinsloo.It was outstanding.

Not much to say other than the place is well kept. As we attend this venue to watch a variety of different shows.

Lovely setting. Very orderly and professional when going to watch a play. The surround sound is excellent and it's really nice that the seats are aligned upwards so no one's head is in the way of you enjoying the show. The bar is also very convenient. Serves slushies for the younger ones and tea or coffee for those who prefer that.

I love this theatre with its excellent variety of shows !

Aunty Merle it's a Girl, wow what a show. Love it. Will go back again

Always great shows wether drama or comedy, even ballet or dance .
I love all my experiences here.
The staff are always friendly and very helpful.
All the halls have comfortable sitting area, so you can enjoy every performance.
With exceptional sound and light, to add to every experience.
Baxter Theatre even has a great vegetarian and Halal restaurant, with a great bar.

Such a beautiful venue to watch live acts. I'm a big fan.

Good place to have your battery charged with fun and laughter

Wonderful show. Great memories come flooding back when you walk into this building. Legendary theatre of Cape Town.

Good company, glass of red wine and Excellent comedy. Show started on time. Friendly staff. Arrive early to get parking

We had a lovely and enjoyable evening at the Baxter theatre in Rondebosch Cape Town watching UCT Opera perform Don Pasquale by Donizetti.

Home to the Zabalaza Theatre Festival and the Baxter Dance Festival the varied and exciting programme makes this one of the most popular theatres in Cape Town.Staging comedy,drama,classics,new plays and musical events there is something for everyone .
Theresa also offers one of the best vegetarian meals in town.

Enjoyed the baroque concert. Excellent view at the stage.
But I have one problem: parking. Not enough. Although we came early. Had to park on the pavement in front of the theatre. And then being harrassed by fake parking attendant for money.

Amazing theatre... Food or snacks are quite pricey at the store inside.

Watched my nephew perform in MotherCity Comedy..brilliantly outstanding ..

I love the Baxter. The support for performers visiting productions is lovely and highly competent. The zabalaza was a treat for my learners. They cover a very wide range of artistic and educational activities. The empty star was on the limited catering.

Parking at this venue is a nightmare. Worse, when all theatres are used.

Love the atmosphere and always been lucky to choose the right shows. Food is pricey as is the case at these type of events/venues

Love the theatre. Only problem is it always smells like a take aways

Excellent food one of the finest curries I have had and a superb show

Marc Lottering brings humour to the stage and lightens the Corona darkness we've all had to endure this year

theatre needs a bit of upgrading of the seats, very cramped. Love this place though.

Still the best theatre in Cape Town with great shows all year round. Wish the dining experience would improve to that of what is offered at other theatres in CT.

Awesome experience..finale..jive funny festival....Baxter lights..

Watched Aunty Merle it's a girl. It was by far one of the best comedy productions I have seen. I was recommending everyone I know to go and see it. I would have even watched it again, that's how much I loved it.

Easy parking,nice reasonably priced vegetarian buffet style restaurant inside...

Fantastic Theatre!!! One feels so involved, as a result of proximity to the stage. Toilets on 1st and 2nd tiers need to be signboarded/ advertised better. Bottom toilet is "flooded" with people. However, great experience at Mark Lottering show yesterday. Excellent and yet under-rated. It is probably one of the best shows to hit the South African stage.

Come an hour early and enjoy a veggie curry meal. (All you can eat) for +-R150 pp. Then enjoy your show.

Pella a town in the west coast of cape.
town hosted a music show outstanding
Quality at the Baxter.. Magical

Enjoyed the show...eventhough it started late..not a good culture stick to starting times

Special architecture, Cape Town cultural icon, great music art & entertainment events
