Time Out says

The majestic Palais Theatre, located right next door to Melbourne Luna Park, is the grande dame of Australian theatres. It seats 2,896 patrons and has played host to some of the most respected names in entertainment. Music, comedy, theatre, dance, films, and fundraisers all have a place at the Palais Theatre. Ever watched the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala on TV? That's the Palais Theatre.

The historical theatre reopened in May 2017 after a $20 million makeover including a paint job returning the exterior to its original yellow hue. Today, it continues its run as one of the premier live music venues in the city.

What’s on

An Evening with Dolly Alderton

Edit: A second Melbourne show has been added to Dolly Alderton's tour, after her first date completely sold out. She'll now be doing a show at the Palais Theatre on November 13 in addition to her booked out talk at the Arts Centre Melbourne on November 14. Tickets to her talk at the Palais Theatre are on sale now, you can buy them here – snap them up while you can! If you know a young woman who's an avid reader, chances are her eyes will light up at the mention of best-selling author Dolly Alderton. The British writer skyrocketed to popularity with her debut memoir-turned-TV show, Everything I Know About Love – a quasi-bible for those navigating life in the fraught 20s age demographic.  For the very first time, Alderton is headed Down Under for a tour of talks, off the back of her latest New York Times best-selling novel Good Material. She's heading to Arts Centre Melbourne for an appearance on November 14, and bringing along her latest stories for Melburnians to enjoy. Not only is she a beloved author, but Alderton originally gained recognition for her Sunday Times 'Dear Dolly' advice column – and she'll incorporate her favourite anecdotes from this within her live show, as well as her own insightful musings on various aspects of life. Audiences will have a chance to ask questions of their own, too, so get brainstorming.  Alderton will also make appearances in Sydney on November 5 and 6, Perth on November 10 and Brisbane on November 17 before heading to Wellington on Novembe
