STAGE TUBE: Highlights from Past Olivier Awards

With just a few hours to go until the 2011 Olivier Awards, we thought it would be nice to look back at some previous performances...

This little lot includes highlights from last year, Mel C's performance of Easy Terms from Blood Brothers, Steve Balsamo singing Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar (1994), the National Theatre's production of Sweeney Todd (1994), the 1987 London cast of La Cage Aux Folles, the 1987 RSC production of The Wizard of Oz, and Maureen Lipman in Wonderful Town from 1986.

Enjoy!

After spending her formative years reading books and ending up with a Masters degree in English literature from King's College London, it was inevitable that Carrie should be a journalist. Her pure and simple delight in the art-form of musical theatre led to the Guardian asking her to be their West End Girl. Since then, she's picked up a PhD, and also written for many other UK publications, including the Times and the Independent. She has many eclectic loves, including sport, karaoke, reality television, MMORPGs, three-volume Victorian novels, the British seaside, embroidery and Veronica Mars.
