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
That’s right one of my all time favourite actors Billy Crystal received the lifetime achievement award at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards and delivers a truly lovely and wonderful speech!
The winners of the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards, don’t really want to say much about the tragedy of Rebel Wilson hosting as it was horrendous!
