For a show that'll stay with long after the final curtain call, look no further than The Diary Of Anne Frank. Based on the book, the production is a moving and powerful of hope, resilience and humanity brought to the stage.
This July, Drew Anthony Creative is bringing its award-winning production of The Diary Of Anne Frank back to Perth following a critically acclaimed, sold-out season in 2025. Returning to the Heath Ledger Theatre from 16–26 July, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play follows Anne, a young Jewish girl hiding with her family in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, as she documents life, fear, love and hope through the pages of her now-famous diary.

Heathers The Musical
Regal Theatre

Grab your scrunchies and dust off your shoulder pads, Heathers The Musical is heading to Perth, and class is officially in session. If you like your nostalgia with a side of jet-black humour, this cult-fave stage adaptation is about to be your new obsession.
Based on the iconic 1989 film, Heathers follows brainy outsider Veronica Sawyer as she infiltrates Westerberg High’s most feared clique: the three impossibly chic (and terrifyingly powerful) Heathers. But when brooding new kid J.D. enters the picture, cafeteria politics spiral fast. Expect razor-sharp satire, killer one-liners and plenty of high school chaos.

When: September 2026
Where: Regal Theatre, 474 Hay St, Subiaco WA 6008

The Book Of Mormon
Crown Theatre, Burswood

If you’re having Mormon withdrawals after bingeing the latest season of SLOMW, fear not. The Book Of Mormon is officially making its return to the Perth stage in 2026, in what’s set to be one of the biggest musical moments of the year.
Equal parts outrageous, sharp and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s earned a reputation as one of the most talked-about musicals of the century. The show follows two mismatched missionaries sent far from Salt Lake City on a mission that quickly spirals into something wildly unexpected. From the minds behind South Park, it’s safe to say this one is NSFC (not suitable for church).
THE DETAILS
When: October 2026
Where: Crown Theatre Perth, Great Eastern Hwy, Burswood WA 6100
