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.
