WhatsOnStage has announced details of the 2027 ceremony today with a return to the London Palladium for the fourth year. The awards are the only major accolades that are voted on by theatregoers.
The 27th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards are all set to return to The London Palladium for the fourth year running. The annual event sees theatre professionals recognised for their work across the season, and will see winners crowned across a variety of categories. It is also the only major theatre awards decided by theatregoers themselves.
The event is planned for February 2027, with the West End venue playing host to a starry line-up of exclusive live performances from leading stage talent.
WhatsOnStage’s Darius Thompson and Alex Wood said today: “We’re overjoyed to be returning to The London Palladium for a fourth year.
We’ve already seen so many blockbuster productions across this eligibility period, with UK theatre once again proving it’s a vibrant, evolving ecosystem that wows audiences up and down the country.
We’re so delighted to be offering not only a platform for ticket holders to celebrate their favourite shows, but to highlight the incredible work being done by creatives – be they casting directors, WHAM designers or those taking to the stage night after night. Bring on 28 February!”
Nominations will open at a later date.
