Theatre Royal 639 Hay Street, Perth, WA - My Fair Lady breaks all theatre records.

Photo courtesy of Roy Mudge. This magnificent framed photographic display was created to celebrate the record breaking season of My Fair Lady.

In 1965 the theatre was converted for screening “My Fair Lady” in the wide-screen 70mm format. This required the removal of the third tier and installation of a floating ceiling.

The screen was widened to 40 ft, the largest in any West Australian hardtop theatre.

This was draped by an enormous curtain containing 500 yards of china gold curtains imported from the USA . The projection booth has been trebled in size to house the new Cinemeccanica projectors and stereophonic equipment.

Alterations require the seating to be reduced from 1237 to 912. The old Royal Theatre had now transferred into the new Theatre Royal in readiness for the 70MM Hollywood blockbuster My Fair Lady.

In June 1965 Cinema Historian Roy Mudge moved from The Grand Theatre to The Theatre Royal, where he remained for ten months screening My Fair Lady on 70mm doing two shows per day.
