Coming soon to Australian theatre

Every seat has a voice.

Theatre Ratings will be one place to find what's on across Australia, read what audiences and critics thought, and follow the artists who make the work. We don't sell tickets or take a cut. Bookings go straight to the venue.

Why we're building it

A full house, night after night.

Australian theatre deserves full houses, in cities and towns right across the country. Extraordinary work is being made, and not enough people know where to look.

Audiences are mostly reached through each venue's own mailing list, so a great show at a small venue can close before word of mouth catches up. Theatre Ratings turns word of mouth into something you can search and share at the moment you're deciding what to see.

Theatre is completely, beautifully, maddeningly subjective. We don't hand out verdicts. We gather what's on, show you what people thought and let you decide. No understudies for your own opinion.

Equal visibility

A show at a pub theatre in Newtown sits beside one at the Opera House. What rises is decided by audience response, not budget.

No commission

We don't sell tickets. Bookings go straight to the venue's own box office.

Room for all stories

We're committed to visibility for First Nations, multicultural, independent and regional work.

Why we're starting with a list

Built with the sector, not just for it.

Before we open the doors, we want the platform to already hold the shows, artists, venues and reviews that make it useful from the first visit. That starts with the people who make and love Australian theatre.

  1. Shape what we build

    Test early versions, tell us what works and what doesn't, and see your feedback in the platform.

  2. Be part of the change

    Help change how Australian theatre finds its audience, with small and large productions given the same chance to be found.

  3. Ready on day one

    Your profile, venue page or recommendations will be set up before we launch.

  4. No strings

    Joining the list commits you to nothing. You can ask us to remove your details at any time.
