January is typically a quiet month vis-à-vis Melbourne theatre. But January 2021 is the exception, with the month largely marking the return of Melbourne's theatre industry following almost a year of darkened stages. 

It's not business as usual, but there's still a small, curated pool of live performances for audiences to get stuck into this January.

Get ready, Melbourne – the dazzling Broadway musical Anastasia is making its long-awaited Australian debut at the Regent Theatre this December. Inspired by the beloved 1997 animated film and the enduring legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov, this lavish production brings to life a sweeping story of courage, love and self-discovery.

Silly season is upon us – if you’re ready to pop the Champers, laugh ’til your belly hurts and revel in tricks you didn’t know were humanly possible, strap in for a glittering night at Blanc de Blanc Encore. The cabaret spectacle fuses a delectable mix of circus, cabaret, jazz and comedy (with a couple of bottles of bubbles for good measure) for an effervescent night out – leave the kids at home for this one.
