The hosts for the 26th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards have been revealed.

The ceremony will return to The London Palladium on Sunday, 8 March 2026, beginning at 6.30pm. Co-produced with creative directors Alex Parker and Damian Sandys, the event will see a series of winners crowned across a range of categories, alongside exclusive live performances from top stage talent and a 24-piece orchestra.

The Awards Concerts are known for their exclusive, one-off numbers, which have included sneak-peeks, new melodies and re-orchestrated versions of contemporary classics, performed by some of the most notable stage names appearing in theatres around the world.

Set to host this year will be Gina and Mazz Murray, reuniting after presenting the silver anniversary event earlier this year. Both have some major theatre credits to their names: Gina Murray’s stage credits include Chicago, Fame, The Roy Orbison Story (all in the West End) as well as Hairspray on tour, while on screen she has appeared in The Hunt for Raoul Moat, Doctors and Sorted. 

Meanwhile, Mazz Murray is recently concluded her time portraying Donna Sheridan in the West End production of Mamma Mia!, with other West End credits including We Will Rock You, Chicago and Fame. Her TV credits include EastEnders and The Quest. 

Voting for the WhatsOnStage Awards, the only major theatre awards decided by the theatregoers themselves, continue.
