I had a quick look and I don’t think anyone’s started this yet (or that anyone’s interested) but does anyone have any predictions for the upcoming Olivier Awards? I’m predicting Company to get nominated a lot.

I already started a thread about the Olivier Awards back in the fall. You’re welcome to post your predictions there. https://www.goldderby.com/forum/theater/2019-olivier-awards-official-thread/

I think Come From Away will probably have a better shot than Waitress. While we don’t know how either show will be received in London yet, Come From Away got a much stronger response here in the United States. While Waitress did get some good reviews, it also has its share of detractors.

And the nominations are in! When I made my predictions I didn’t check the eligibility and it turns out Waitress wasn’t eligible this year, but other than that I didn’t do too badly.
