The venue: Capitol Theatre
Capitol Theatre opened in 1930 as a cinema and is now a restored 977-seat theatre at the corner of Stamford Road and North Bridge Road, part of the Capitol Singapore development beside City Hall. It takes intimate concerts, film premieres, comedy and gala performances.
Stalls and a circle. The retractable seating means some events are sold standing on a flat floor instead — check the configuration on your ticket page.
