Pride And Prejudice* (*sort of) to Tour Australia in 2026


Pride And Prejudice* (*sort of) to Tour Australia in 2026
Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) is heading Down Under. The 2026 Australian tour will play at Melbourne's Atheneum Theatre from 18 June, Sydney Opera House from 16 July, IPAC Wollongong from 2 September, Canberra Theatre Centre from 16 September and QPAC, Brisbane from 30 September.

Direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) is a unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen's most iconic love story. Men, money and microphones are fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn't be higher when it comes to romance.


This "smart, laugh out loud funny" (Daily Telegraph) show features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You're So Vain. Coming to Australia for the first time, five fearless women bring Austen's world of love, class and chaos to life with heart, humour and unstoppable energy in this modern take on one of the world's most adapted pieces of literature.


Producers Neil Gooding and Alex Woodward said, "We both saw Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) in London. It opened in the West End not long after Covid had ravaged the arts, and it was a hilarious little joy-bomb that we all badly needed to bring us back to theatres. It is clever, funny and quirky, and allows a cast of amazing female actors, comediennes and singers to showcase all of their skills. We can't wait to bring the show to Australia for the first time... and to reveal the amazing performers who will bring the show to life!"

★★★★★ "Faithful to the book, it's also a raucously irreverent romp" - Daily Mail
★★★★★ "Riotously funny… gloriously entertaining… frankly sensational" - Variety
★★★★★ "Layer and layer of brilliance" - The Scotsman
