If you're after soap opera meets political satire, look no further than Melbourne Theatre Company's Never Have I Ever – which offers a deep-dive into the paradoxes of identity politics. Plus, Beauty and the Beast continues to charm audiences.

Melbourne's best theatre shows this month

  • Musicals
  • Melbourne

Jesus Christ! The messiah will return to rock the Melbourne stage when Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s celebrated musical Jesus Christ Superstar arrives in Melbourne in early 2025, following huge acclaim and sold-out seasons in London, as well as an extensive North American tour. The Olivier Award-winning reimagined production of this celebrated rock musical will land at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre as part of a national tour.

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.
