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.
Join the waitlistA 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.
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.
