Here we have the winners of the 2022 Olivier Awards, celebrating the best of West End theatre. Have to admit that considering I had a ticket for Cabaret before Christmas and it was when the performances were being cancelled, makes me even more sad that it has won so many awards.
Best revival A Number at the Old Vic Constellations, a Donmar Warehouse production at the Vaudeville Theatre The Normal Heart at the Olivier, National Theatre The Tragedy of Macbeth at the Almeida Theatre
Best entertainment or comedy play The Choir of Man at the Arts Theatre Pantoland at the Palladium at the London Palladium Pride and Prejudice* (*Sort Of) at the Criterion Theatre The Shark Is Broken at the Ambassadors Theatre
Best musical revival Anything Goes at the Barbican Theatre Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre Spring Awakening at the Almeida Theatre
Annouced this afternoon are the 2018 Olivier Awards recognising some of the amazing productions and performances over the past year! I have been lucky enough to see quite a few of these productions as well!

Awards season goes on this time in the Theatre world with the nominees being announced for the Olivier Awards which celebrate the West End (similar to the Tony Awards for Broadway). Obviously having managed to get down to London twice to see Gypsy I will certainly be rooting for that to win all the awards it has been nominated for!
