About this venue
The Grand Theatre at Jeffrey Cheah Performing Arts Centre is a modern 1,200-seat theatre designed as a proscenium venue for musicals, drama, orchestral concerts, dance productions and other large-scale performances. Its interior architecture is distinguished by faceted timber surfaces extending across the walls and ceiling, with forms inspired by the former tin-mining landscape beneath present-day Sunway City. Integrated lighting follows the geometry of these surfaces, giving the auditorium a distinctive contemporary identity.
The theatre features L-ISA immersive sound and Ambiance active acoustics, allowing its acoustic character to be adapted for different types of performances, from spoken theatre to orchestral music. Comfortable seating is suited to longer shows and concerts, while the spacious foyer, finished with warm timber, bronze and gold-toned details, provides an inviting gathering area before entering the auditorium. Its position within Sunway Square also gives visitors convenient access to restaurants, cafés and other facilities in the complex before or after an event.
The theatre is located at L4-L6, Sunway Square Mall, Jalan Lagoon Selatan, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Visitors arriving by car can use the Sunway Square Mall parking facilities and follow the internal signs toward the theatre on the upper levels. The precinct is also linked by pedestrian connections to surrounding parts of Sunway City, including access to the BRT Sunway Line.

About the city: Petaling Jaya
Petaling Jaya, one of the key urban centres of the state of Selangor and the wider Klang Valley, is a developed city with a strong offering of entertainment, sports, shopping and events. Its proximity to Kuala Lumpur, high concentration of commercial and business districts, and diverse gathering venues make it a practical base for visitors attending concerts, matches and other major events. Petaling Jaya is particularly suitable for travelers who want to combine an event with urban attractions without limiting their stay exclusively to central Kuala Lumpur.
The city's connectivity relies on the Rapid KL network, with the LRT Kelana Jaya Line running through Petaling Jaya and serving stations such as Taman Jaya, Asia Jaya and Kelana Jaya, while the MRT Kajang Line serves the Bandar Utama area. For arrivals from other parts of Malaysia and international connections, the regional transport hub KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur is important, while air travel is served by Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. This combination of LRT, MRT, buses, taxis and ride-hailing services makes it easier to reach MBPJ Stadium in Kelana Jaya as well as other sports and concert venues in Petaling Jaya and the rest of the Klang Valley.
Before or after an event, it is worth setting aside time for Taman Jaya, a green urban park with a lake and the Muzium Petaling Jaya, or for Taman Bandaran Kelana Jaya, a large recreational area known for its system of lakes and walking paths. For a different urban experience, visitors can explore Bandar Utama, Damansara and other lively parts of the city with restaurants, cafés and shopping centres. This combination of green spaces, a modern urban scene and good connectivity allows visitors to easily turn a concert or sporting event into a complete stay in Petaling Jaya.
