First established in 1976, the awards were renamed in 1984 in honour of Laurence Olivier. They will be taking place on 6 April at the Royal Albert Hall, hosted by Billy Porter and Beverley Knight.

The pair are revealing the nominees from New York, where they’re co-starring in the Broadway transfer of Jamie Lloyd’s revival of Sunset Boulevard following its award-winning season in the West End.

The Olivier Awards’ creative team includes Anthony Van Laast as creative show director, returning for a third year, with conductor and arranger Gareth Valentine, orchestrator Mark Cumberland and lighting designer Ben Cracknell.
