B'way-to-London Transfers Spring Awakening, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Wicked Win Big at Olivier Awards

The winners of the 2010 Olivier Awards were announced on March 21, 2010 at the Grosvenor House in London. There has been a great exchange between London and New York theater this year, including two nominated plays set for the spring Broadway season: Enron by Lucy Prebble and John Logan’s Red (with the winning play, The Mountaintop by Katori Hall, already eyeing a Broadway run in the fall). But the big news at this year’s awards were the Broadway exports that came out on top: namely, the Debbie Allen-directed all-black revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and a pair of Tony-winning tuners: Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater’s Spring Awakening and Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman’s smash-hit Wicked. Take a look at the complete list below (a full list of nominees is here) to see who else came home a winner on British theater’s biggest night.
