So, the Olivier awards are like the Tony awards of British theater, and the Tony awards, for the sadly uninformed, are like the Grammys or Oscars of the American theater world. And they were yesterday.
So my show, Spring Awakening, had a British incarnation from like... Jan-May of this past year, so they apparently fell into the eligibility for these Olivier awards.
I didn't expect them to do well as they practically flopped in London, and predictions weren't looking good for them.
WE WERE WRONG HOLY SHIT.
Time for a nerdy table of what awards they were up for, what they won, and what they were nominated for/won at the Tony Awards in 2007 as a comparison. AND THEN AT THE END I'LL EMBED VIDEOS.
( NERD ALERT NERD ALERT )
