The awards presented in association with AudienceView, will return in 2027.

It has been announced that the WhatsOnStage Awards will return in 2027, with the ceremony taking place at the London Palladium for the fourth time on Sunday 28th February 2027.
As well as celebrating the best of theatre over the last 12 months, the WhatsOnStage Awards will also feature a starry line-up of exclusive live performances from leading stage talent.
Now in its 27th year, the WhatsOnStage Awards are the only major theatre awards decided by the theatregoers themselves. Tickets for the ceremony are set to go on sale in September, with nominations for the awards to open at a later date.
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!”
