7 Exciting Theatre Shows To See In Sydney This Summer
All the world’s a stage.
Despite the events of last year, we got to enjoy a lot of great theatre and art shows — from the comfort of our homes of course. But there’s something about attending theatre physically with an audience — the energy is visceral and the experience unrivalled. Luckily for us in Sydney, theatre is returning in a big way. From massive Broadway productions to more niche, homegrown acts — here is some of the best theatre coming to Sydney this summer that you simply cannot afford to miss.
1. Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of two exciting productions by Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour and will run for a month after its premier on March 25, 2022.
2. Girl From The North Country
Girl from the North Country makes its Australian Premier at Sydney Festival this month. The award-winning musical features reimagined versions of legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan’s songs.
Where: Theatre Royal, 108 King St
3. An American In Paris
Magical, romantic and surreal — An American in Paris is set to make a highly-awaited entry into Australia’s live theatre scene in April.
Where: Theatre Royal, 108 King St
4. The Wedding Singer
Before The Wedding Singer: The Musical Comedy returns to Melbourne for an encore season, the 80s extravaganza based on the ever-popular film starring Adam Sandler will light up Sydney’s State Theatre this month for a limited run of shows.

After a massive sell-out season last year, The Little Prince will return to warm our hearts once again this month. The show is on until January 23.

7. Dolly Parton’s 9 To 5
