Rod Laver Arena

A tennis court for a fortnight in January and a theatre the rest of the year. Once the Australian Open clears out, the floor is available at a scale no proscenium house in the city can match, which is how Les Miserables: The Arena Spectacular played here with Alfie Boe and Michael Ball on the barricades. Included on this list for what it does to a musical rather than for its architecture.
