February 2025: Looking for a cute date night idea in this month of love? We got you, and so does Melbourne's world-class theatre scene. Treat that someone special in your life (or just yourself – self love comes first!) with tickets to the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast, smash-hit Dear Evan Hansen or one-woman show Shirley Valentine (starring none other than powerhouse all-rounder, Nat Bass).

Agatha Christie's bestselling mystery And Then There Was None also hits the the Comedy Theatre, while 37 – which retraces the shockwaves of the Adam Goodes saga – is one you can't miss. 

From the toe-tapping to the cathartic, consider this your ultimate guide to all the best Melbourne theatre shows happening this January.

When stuck for things to do between shows, you can also always rely on our catch-all lists of Melbourne's best bars, restaurants, museums, parks and galleries, or consult our bucket list of 101 things to do in Melbourne before you die

Melbourne's best theatre shows this month

  • Drama
  • Melbourne

Hold on to your alibis, because stage and screen luminary Robyn Nevin kicks off a new national tour of Agatha Christie’s best-selling play at Melbourne’s hallowed Comedy Theatre. Nevin has form, having previously steered Christie’s The Mousetrap to great success. And she has a spectacular cast on hand to bring the accused to (quite probably temporary) life. 

Before you book...

Not all seats are created equal. Sure, there are some shows so spectacular and unmissable you’d happily sit anywhere, but most experiences in the theatre can be augmented by the best seats in the house. And occasionally ruined by the worst. So, without further ado, we give them to you.
