The 27th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards

About this experience

Book The 27th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards tickets in London Book The 27th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards tickets for one night only at The London Palladium on Sunday 28 February 2027, with the ceremony starting at 6.30pm. You get a seat at one of the big dates in the theatre calendar, as winners are crowned across a wide range of categories and leading stage talent performs exclusive live numbers on the Palladium stage. The WhatsOnStage Awards are the only major UK theatre awards decided entirely by theatregoers. Readers nominate and vote for their favourite shows and performers, so the room is full of fans cheering for the productions they picked. The 2027 ceremony is the fourth in a row at the Palladium, and it is co-produced with creative directors Alex Parker and Damian Sandys. What happens on the night The evening is a live awards concert. Between the award presentations, casts and stars from the West End and beyond take to the stage for performances you will only see at this event, along with specially curated surprises. Because there is only one performance, tickets are limited to a single date and tend to be in demand once the shortlist is out. The road to the ceremony starts well before February. Nominations open on Thursday 5 November 2026 and the shortlist follows in early December, so by the time you take your seat you will know which shows are in the running. WhatsOnStage lists the ceremony with no interval. The running time has not been announced yet. Who the WhatsOnStage Awards are for This is a night for anyone who loves theatre. The awards celebrate the people who make UK theatre happen, from the performers taking to the stage night after night to creatives such as casting directors and wigs, hair and make up designers. If you follow the West End, voted in the nominations or simply want to see a run of showstopping performances in one evening, this is the ticket to have. It also makes a strong gift for a theatre fan, since the date is fixed and the line up of performances is unique to the night. The setting adds to the occasion. The London Palladium opened in 1910, was designed by Frank Matcham and has around 2,286 seats, which makes it one of the largest theatres in the West End and a natural home for a big celebration of the stage. How tickets and seating work You choose your own seats on our interactive seat map, so you can see exactly where you will sit before you pay. The Palladium has three main levels: the stalls, the royal circle and the upper circle. The stalls and the front of the royal circle are closest to the stage, while the upper circle sits higher and often costs less. Our London Palladium seating guide walks through each level. Please check your date and seats carefully before booking, because these tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled. Plan your visit to the London Palladium The London Palladium is on Argyll Street, London W1F 7TF, just off Oxford Street and about a minute's walk from Oxford Circus station on the Central, Victoria and Bakerloo lines. Piccadilly Circus and Tottenham Court Road are also within walking distance. Aim to arrive around 30 minutes before the 6.30pm start so you have time for the cloakroom and bars and can be in your seat when the first award is announced. Making a weekend of it?
