Seven Olivier Awards including Best New Musical!

It was quite an evening for Matilda The Musical at the 2012 Laurence Olivier Awards! Matilda had received ten nominations and tonight skipped away with SEVEN awards, a record haul for a single show, including Best New Musical.

Rob Howells won Best Set Design and Simon Baker Best Sound Design. Best Director went to Matthew Warchus with Peter Darling claiming Best Theatre Choreographer. Members of the cast triumphed too with Best Actor in a Musical for Bertie Carvel and the four Matildas: Cleo Demetriou, Kerry Ingram, Eleanor Worthington Cox & Sophia Kiely shared the award for Best Actress in a Musical, breaking the record for the youngest Olivier Award-holders.

To see the full list of ten nominations earned by Matilda the Musical, the maximum for which it was eligible, see this earlier blog post. The full list of award winners can be found here.

Many congratulations to Tim and everyone at Matilda The Musical for such an amazing achievement.
