The 26th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards

Now in their 26th year, the WhatsOnStage Awards are considered one of the top highlights of the theatrical calendar and are the only major theatre awards nominated and voted for by the public. We are delighted to once again return to The London Palladium for a star-studded ceremony on Sunday 8 March 2026.

The Awards celebrate the brilliance and resilience of the industry – everyone on-stage, backstage, and off-stage across the UK who make theatre possible, as well as our wonderful audiences who come night after night.

Don’t miss your chance to attend this dazzling evening and enjoy thrilling performances from shows in the West End and beyond as well as some specially curated surprises.
