Illawarra Performing Arts Centre 32 Burelli Street, Wollongong, New South Wales 2500

"I went and saw a local ballet production of Swan Cows. It was fabulous. First ballet I have ever seen where I understood the story. Lovely to see young people performing. The orchestra was also very very good. A great outing on a wet Saturday afternoon."

"When you pay that much to see a show, you don't expect to be in the most uncomfortable seating that ever was! Hardest chair ever with wooden, Yes Wooden arm rests. Are you kidding me?! Wouldn't pay to go here again in a hurry"

"Very disappointed with the upgrade to the Theartre. Seats not very comfortable. And the lighting fo stairways far too bright. I was sitting in Row J seat 3. I was distracted by the lights it spoilt watching the Ballet . I was also blinded by the light on Row E that was right in my line of sight. The lady on my right said the same thing. I realise you need lights but they should be dim not so bright. Maybe a cover above the light on Row E would be then directed down. I hope for my Subscription shows,my seat is nowhere near the Aisle. Very sad and disappointing."

"The Reno hasn't worked. The new seats are now very uncomfortable. Arm rest too small to use. Makes for not a good experience. At the break use the new toilets. YUK. Like a bad 70s pub. 1 dryer now. Longer queue to use hand dryer than to buy a drink. Not impressed."

"Infrequently we get to see a performance at the IPAC, and it is always worth the money, as we pick shows that are suited to our tastes. Whether it be musical or performance based, we are all about people trying to broaden their cultural horizons. The IPAC is fantastic in a variety of ways, from a tasty cup of coffee to a fantastic selection of shows on offer over the season including the annual appearance of the Spiegeltent."
