The stars of the stage have been recognised with the Olivier Awards 2022 nominations.
Lily Allen earned her first Olivier nod for her theatrical debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story.
Other big-name nominees include Eddie Redmayne, for his role as eccentric Emcee in Cabaret. The musical, which transformed the West End’s Playhouse Theatre into the Kit Kat Club, also garnered the most nominations, with 11 in total.
Eddie will face off against Olly Dobson for the musical adaptation of Back To The Future, Arinze Kene for Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical and Robert Lindsay for Anything Goes.
Jessie Buckley also bagged a nod for Cabaret, and The Crown’s Emma Corrin was nominated for her role in Anna X.
Life Of Pi at Wyndham’s Theatre and the revival of Anything Goes at the Barbican Theatre both received nine nominations each.
Back To The Future - The Musical earned seven nominations, while Moulin Rouge! The Musical was shortlisted for five prizes.
As reported by Sky News, Julian Bird, executive producer of the Olivier Awards, said: "I want to offer enormous congratulations to all the 2022 Olivier Awards nominees.
"This year's fantastic array truly demonstrates the breadth and diversity of London's world-leading theatre industry, and its extraordinary creativity and resilience during an extremely challenging period for our sector.
"After a two-year hiatus, we are delighted to be able to bring the theatre community together again to celebrate our brightest talents.
"I'm sure the atmosphere in the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 10 April will be absolutely electric."
The Olivier Awards ceremony, hosted by Jason Manford, will take place on April 10 at the Royal Albert Hall.
