- Tram: The trusty tram is your most convenient bet. Trams 86 and 96 both stop a stone's throw from the theatre (Spring St/Bourke St or Nicholson St stops). Just hop on, chuck in a few coins (or tap your Myki card), and enjoy the ride! Bonus points for pretending you're a European tram conductor while you're at it.
- Train: If you're coming from further afield, a train to Parliament Station is your best bet. It's a short and scenic two-minute walk from the station to the theatre. Perfect for stretching those pins after a long journey (and pretending you're a character hotfooting it to catch the final curtain).
