The Gaiety Theatre

The Gaiety Theatre is one of Dublin’s principal theatres, standing on South King Street in County Dublin just off St Stephen’s Green. Opened in the Victorian era, it has kept its ornate horseshoe auditorium and remains a working venue rather than a museum piece.

Programming covers musicals, drama, opera, concerts and comedy, with the Christmas pantomime a long-standing fixture in the Dublin calendar. Booking ahead is sensible for the bigger runs, and the theatre sits within a few minutes’ walk of Grafton Street.
