Dear Reader,
The Cute Bears Walks Away With Awards
Paddington the Musical won seven Oliviers in the theatre event's 50th year, including best new musical and three acting prizes, reported bbc.com's Steven McIntosh.
"The show, which features songs composed by McFly's Tom Fletcher, won best new musical and three acting prizes, plus awards for its direction, costumes and set design."
Paddington's wins included best actor in a musical, which was awarded jointly to James Hameed, who provides the voice for the bear from the wings, and Arti Shah, an actress born with a form of dwarfism who portrays the bear in costume on stage.
According to the report, "Shah thanked the show's cast and crew and paid tribute to her family, telling her young son she was "going to keep making you proud, and keep showing you that being different is a good thing".
The Olivier Awards, which have been running since 1976, reward the best UK theatre shows and performances of the last year.
That a show with a cartoon bear beat star-studded productions, just shows that awards can be as unpredictable as the box-office.
