'Heartbreak Hotel' is on sale NOW at Circa Theatre!
This one’s for the young hearts, the old hearts, and the broken hearts.
Direct from a season at London’s Soho Theatre, Circa Theatre and EBKM are delighted to present a limited season of ‘Heartbreak Hotel’.
‘One of the best productions I’ve seen this year.’ ★★★★★ Time Out Melbourne
‘It hijacks your nervous system and fast tracks its way into your soul.’ ★★★★ Scotsman
“A brilliant production which I loved” Suzie Miller, writer of Tony award-winning Prima Facie
Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating new play that examines what happens in our bodies when we’re bereft. Featuring Karin McCracken and Simon Leary. Winner Best Play, TimeOut Australia Arts and Culture Awards 2025.
From acclaimed Wellington-based theatre company EBKM, who brought their ground-breaking Gravity & Grace to Circa Theatre last year (Production of the Year, Wellington Theatre Awards 2024), Heartbreak Hotel tracks a woman’s broken heart in a wrenching and relatable journey that’s studded with classic break-up songs and razor-sharp observations on the physiology of love.
Featuring award-winning performances from Karin McCracken (Gravity & Grace, Yes Yes Yes) and Circa Theatre mainstay Simon Leary (Blithe Spirit, Gravity & Grace, Transmission Beta), as well as exquisite direction from Eleanor Bishop (Gravity & Grace, Girls and Boys), Heartbreak Hotel is a hilarious, honest take on a universal human experience.
Heartbreak Hotel comes to Circa Theatre fresh from smash-hit shows at Soho Theatre London, RISING Festival Melbourne, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Destined for international touring in 2026 and beyond, Heartbreak Hotel is only running at Circa for two weeks before the show must move on to other centers. Do not miss this special homecoming – it won’t happen again.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
