Looking Ahead to (not) Sydney Theatre in 2026: Part Three
If you fancy heading interstate for a show & some touristing, I’ve got some shows you might be interested in checking out.
-
La Ronde (The Grand Electric) ★★★½
My neck is sore and my throat is dry — all because I spent 90 minutes, mouth ajar, staring up at the roof of the Grand Electric watching beautiful people spin around in the air.
-
Calamity Jane (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★
With this production pulling the queer-coded subtext out into the spotlight, it’s clear that this “secret love’s no secret anymore.”
-
Meow Meow’s The Red Shoes (Belvoir) ★★★★
Cabaret sensation Meow Meow has set up camp on Belvoir’s main stage, desperately fighting the creative inertia of nihilism.
-
Being Alive: The Music of Stephen Sondheim (Hayes) ★★★
Sondheim’s place on the musical theatre pedestal is assured.
-
She Slayed: A Drag Murder Mystery (Qtopia) ★★★★
Get your friends, grab a drink, and get a seat.
-
Well-Behaved Women (Belvoir) ★★★½
Songwriter Carmel Dean pokes fun at the patriarchy and heaps praise on some key stories of female rebels, iconoclasts, champions and quiet achievers throughout time.
-
Bangers & Mash (Sydney Fringe) ★★★★
What’s long, phallic & salty, yet somehow still a “comfort food”? Bangers & Mash. Be quick, you’ve only got till Saturday to catch it!
-
Sunday Service (Gingers) ★★★★★
I don’t believe in god but I do believe in Musical Theatre, and the new Sunday Service, run by Sister Sarah Murr and Sydney Cabaret is a revelation.
-
The Emerald Room ★★★★
Does Sydney’s new cabaret/dining locale make us green with envy, or send us all “Hulk! Smash!”? Well it’s more “Hulk! Get Smashed!” as The Emerald Room serves dinner, drinks, drag and more.
