For many performers, an Olivier is the highest theatrical honour you could ever receive. This years awards are hosted by two highly acclaimed performers of our time: Billy Porter and Beverely Knight! Billy Porter is currently in one of the biggest West End Shows at the moment, Cabaret. Beverely Knight, perhaps better known as a music artist has only recently stepped off stage from her lead role in Sister Act last year. In fact, Knight is the recipient of an Olivier Award herself back in 2023.
The curtain up for the awards is on 6th April at the Royal Albert Hall. Many of the shows nominated are still playing in London. Book tickets to one of these West End Shows and see for yourself what you think of the nominated shows.

Elliot Levey is a previous Olivier Award Winner for his role in Cabaret. This year he is nominated for a second time in the category of Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Romola Garai has also been nominated as Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Interestingly, she has been nominated twice within the same category at this years awards.
Outstanding Musical Contribution – Darren Clark for music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements and Mark Aspinall for musical direction, music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements
Clare Foster – Best Actress in a Musical
John Dagliesh – Best Actor in a Musical
Best New Musical
You may remember the Hollywood Blockbuster of the same name however this West End Show is based on the iconic short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The show is reimagined in a Cornish fishing village by award-winning writing teamJethro Comptonand Darren Clark. Under the light of a full moon, something most curious occurs… Benjamin Button is born old. He is bound to the fate of growing younger each day. The show opened in October 2024 and due to its success, has recently announced an extension into August this year. John Dagliesh (Sunny Afternoon) has won this category before in 2014 and Clare Foster (Crazy For You) is also a previous Olivier Award Nominee.
Based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s groundbreaking masterpiece and memoires, The Years is an unapologetic portrait of a woman shaped by her rapidly-changing world.

Weaving together memory and history, an ordinary life is marked by a changing body and a changing society. The Actresses in a Supporting Role take half the nominations in this category and it is Romola Garai’s second nomination in this category also.
Paule Constable and Ben Jacobs – Best Lighting Design
Best Musical Revival
Simon Lipkin – Best Actor in a Musical
This classic musical written by Lionel Bart is based on Charles Dickens Novel, Oliver Twist. It follows orphaned Oliver in his fight for survival in Victorian London. The show stopping hits such as Consider Yourself and Food Glorious Food have been choreographed by Matthew Bourne. Matthew Bourne currently has the joint most amount of Olivier Awards, this year could see him take the lead! Simon Lipkin (Guys and Dolls) plays Fagin who takes Oliver in and teaches him the skills of pick-pocketing. This role sees him nominated for Best Actor in a Musical.
This show is already Tony Award winning for its run on Broadway. In fact, winners Myles Frost and Christopher Wheeldon moved to the UK to open the London version of the show. I would consider this one of our best selling shows here at Theatre Bookings so it’s only natural that the show has been nominated for Best New Musical. The show follows Michael Jacksons life, particularly getting ready for the Dangerous World Tour. You can expect to hear some of his greatest hits in this musical.
As a child’s train set magically comes to life and the engines race to become the fastest in the world, Rusty the steam train has little hope of winning until he is inspired by the legend of the ‘Starlight Express’. The show has reopened in the UK after being closed in the West End for 20 Years. A big draw for this show is the impresive visuals which has seen it nominated in two design categories at this year’s Olivier Awards. All of the performers are on rollerskates in the purpose built theatre, creating the speed and illusion of the performers themselves being trains.
Layton Williams – Best Supporting Actor in a Musical
Lauren Drew – Best Actress in a Musical
Titanique is a parody of the classic Titanic film. Celine Dion famously sings the theme tune to the film and who better to tell us the story of what happened that night other than… Celine Dion herself… played by Lauren Drew(Six). This musical is another jukebox musical featuring all Celine Dion songs. It has proved to be a laugh out loud hit earning it the nomination of Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play. To give you an idea of the style of the show, star Layton Williams (Cabaret)has achieved his first ever Olivier Nomination for his role of… The Iceberg!
Kyoto is a new political thriller is now playing in London’s West End. Brought to you by the RSC fresh from a critically acclaimed run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this timely show has secured itself two nominations this year.
Set at the Kyoto Conference Centre, 11 December 1997, the nations of the world are in deadlock. 11 hours have passed since the UN’s landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out and agreement feels a world away. The greatest obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman. Jorge Bosch who has the nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Actor plays Raul Estrada-Oyuela, the Argentine chair of the Kyoto talks.
Tom Xander – Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical
Based on the hit Film by Tina Fey, Mean Girls has been a hit of a show. Home-schooled Cady Heron may think she knows a thing or two about survival of the fittest thanks to her zoologist mom, but high school is a whole new level of savage. Cady befriends Damian and Janice and they devise a plan to take down the Mean Girls of the school: The Plastics. Tom Xander plays Damian and his comedic timing and powerful vocals have secured him a nomination at this years awards.
Amy Di Bartolemeo – Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical
Another musical based on a blockbuster film, The Devil Wears Prada has been so successful it recently announced its extension all the way through to 2026! The show follows Andy an aspiring journalist who lands a job as a junior assistant to the Editor in Chief at a huge fashion magazine. She has a slight rivalry in this cut-throat world with Emily played by Amy Di Bartolomeo (SIX). This is the role that has Bartolomeo nominated at this years awards. In the film Emily never got to go to Paris and get the recognition she deserved. Who knows, maybe this award can get justice for Emily!
