The Bear Walked Away With Theatre Prizes.
Paddington The Musical has dominated the WhatsOnStage Awards, winning nine prizes after its triumphant launch in the West End last year, reports Steven McIntosh in bbc.com
"The show, based on Michael Bond's original children's books and the recent film adaptations, was a hit with fans and received rave reviews from critics," says the story.
"The marmalade-loving bear's nine trophies are the most ever for a new musical, and equal the joint record previously set by Miss Saigon and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Held at the London Palladium, the WhatsOnStage Awards have been running since 2001 and are voted for by the general public.
Reflecting on the winners, Darius Thompson and Alex Wood of WhatsOnStage said, in the report, "The voters really did look after that Bear! Paddington's record-setting awards haul has firmly cemented it as a fan-favourite new addition to the West End."
There are no bears, but there is a whale on one on the nominees for the META Awards coming up next week. The 10 nominated plays are set to perform in Delhi from March 19-25.
"Theatre is a form of knowledge; it should and can also be a means of transforming society. Theatre can help us build our future, rather than just waiting for it."
