Hi there,

There is a Wiki entry saying the theatre opened on 1st April 1966.  The South Pacific took its place some time in 1993 with two mini theatres of the same name running for a few years before making way for the Hotel's own restaurants/function room.

I guess it would be safe to state the old theatre was demolished around 1990. 

Best Regards,
