Musical 'Cabaret' won seven Olivier Awards, including prizes for actors Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley
LONDON, April 10 - A critically-acclaimed revival of musical "Cabaret" and a stage adaptation of hit novel "Life of Pi" were the big winners at the Olivier Awards on Sunday, scooping the top prizes in Britain's biggest night for theatre.
Originally produced on Broadway in 1966, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, "Cabaret" follows the lives of characters linked to a seedy Berlin nightclub during the rise of the Nazis. "The fact that we've been nominated for a puppet character...is phenomenal and a landmark moment for puppetry," actor Fred Davis. "Hopefully it opens the door for more puppets in central roles in theatre in the future."
