Olivier Awards 2022: winners in full and what's still on
Come to the Cabaret seems to be the take-away message from the 2022 Olivier Awards, where director Rebecca Frecknall's revival of the 1966 musical scooped the most titles, winning seven of the 11 accolades it was up for. The ceremony, held at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 10 April, marked the first time the Olivier Awards had been held in person since 2019, before the pandemic. It was also a triumphant night for Lolita Chakrabarti's puppetry-led adaptation of Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi, which took home five of the nine awards it was nominated for, including Best New Play.
Here are the 2022 Olivier Award winners in full, plus the newly decorated shows you can still see.
