【頒獎季】2015 Evening Standard Awards

又到了一年一度倫敦劇場頒獎季的第一砲啦!
Evening Standard Awards雖然獎項不多，但權威性也是鐵板釘釘的
已經連續好幾年都算Olivier的風向球了!

今年舞台劇類由James McAvoy與睽違倫敦舞台17年的Nicole Kidman分別憑藉【The Ruling Class】與【Photograph 51】摘下最佳男女主角頭銜

最佳音樂劇演員(男女共同競爭同一獎項)則毫無全懸念地由Imelda Staunton以【Gypsy】經典角色Momma Rose打敗【Kinky Boots】的Killian Donnelly, 【City of Angels】的Rosalie Craig(這齣戲由肉婆入圍也滿有趣的...肉肉與Tam Mutu表示眼紅...)以及【Beautiful】的Katie Brayben
其實入圍名單競爭頗激烈，或許可以好好期待一下明年Olivier男女演員分開頒時這些入圍者能有亮眼的表現
交給觀眾票選的最佳音樂劇沒有疑問地讓人氣超高的【Kinky Boots】拔得頭籌
