Welcome to the Lyric Lounge Theatre Ballito

Launching 27 November 2024

We are proud owners of the Pumpkin Theatre, but it's time for an upgrade! We're relocating to a new, larger space at Odyssey Mall, Ballito. Get ready for bigger and better shows, ample secure parking, and fantastic food. Doors open on November 29, 2024, with our first-ever pantomime, and we have an incredible lineup planned for December and 2025!

We're thrilled about our spacious new home on the lower level of Odyssey Mall at 1 Simbiti Drive, Ballito. Some of the exciting new features include:

  • Safe, secure parking on ground level and roof level.

  • A bigger spacious theatre for larger shows with more room between tables.

  • A stylish, comfortable design to enhance the patron experience.

  • A brand-new kitchen offering quality food—stay tuned for the menu!

  • More shows per week, with free midweek performances.

Mark your calendars, our grand opening is November 29, 2024!
