Olivier Awards nominations 2018....Hamilton makes history with 13 nominations
Lin-Manuel
Miranda musical Hamilton has become the most nominated production in the
history of the Olivier Awards with Mastercard, receiving 13
nominations for theatre’s biggest accolades this year.
Mirroring
its achievements on Broadway, where the musical also made history in garnering
16 Tony Award nominations, Hamilton surpasses previous record-holders Harry
Potter And The Cursed Child (2017) and Hairspray (2008)’s total of 11 Olivier
nominations. Having reopened London’s Victoria Palace Theatre in December, the
show’s remarkable impact in the West End was confirmed today in today’s live
nominations announcement, hosted by musical theatre stars Elaine Paige and
Alexandra Burke.
The
eyes of the theatregoing community will now fall on the Royal Albert Hall on
Sunday 8 April, where Catherine Tate will host the Olivier Awards with Mastercard
ceremony, set to once again be broadcast to the UK and worldwide.
Tickets to theatre’s
biggest night are available exclusively for Mastercard cardholders via Priceless.com.
