Creator Ray Davies joined the cast of Sunny Afternoon on stage this week to celebrate their quartet of Olivier Awards!
As well as best musical and recognition for John Dagleish and George Maguire, Davies picked up a special award himself for outstanding achievement in music.
Fifty years ago, The Kinks were sitting at Number One in the UK charts with their fifth single 'Tired of Waiting For You'. The band's popularity has not faded since the 1960s, with crowds of all ages filling the Harold Pinter Theatre night after night.

Lighting is by Rick Fisher, sound by Matt McKenzie and the Musical Supervisor and Musical Director is Elliott Ware.
