Due to the current situation, The Olivier Awards 2020 with Mastercard have been postponed. At the moment we hope the awards will take place in the Autumn, and this podcast will return then – featuring exciting interviews with the nominees, and backstage interviews from the awards themselves. In the meantime, listen to the Magic Musicals and Theatre Podcast’s extensive archive – which includes interviews with Olivier nominees Wendell Pierce and Sharon D. Clarke, the cast of the new hit musical & Juliet, Jason Donovan, Michelle Collins, Oscar-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, and many more.
