The West End revival of Sunset Boulevard has collected a record-equalling 7 Oliviers at a glittering ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall.
Cabaret, Matilda and Hamilton are the only other musicals to have won as many awards at the event.
As well as picking up the award for the best musical revival, its stars Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Francis were named the best actress and actor in a musical.
The Succession star Sarah Snook was named the best actress for playing 26 roles in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Collecting her statuette, she said, “It’s billed as a one-woman show but it’s not, the crew are on stage with me every night, and they are a vital and constant support, and inspirational.”
Mark Gatiss beat off competition from David Tennant, Andrew Scott, James Norton and Joseph Fiennes to take the best actor award for The Motive And The Cue.
Although he missed out on the acting honours, Scott’s one-man production of Anton Chekhov’s Vanya was named the best play revival.
There was a posthumous prize for best supporting actress for Haydn Gwynne, who died last year at the age of 66, for her role in When Winston Went To War With The Wireless. Accepting the award on her behalf, her son Orlando Phipps said, “It was a career-long dream of hers to win an Olivier, so she would have been thrilled.”
Will Close was named the best supporting actor for Dear England, which was named the best new play.
The Olivier for the best supporting actor in a musical went to Jak Malone, for Operation Mincemeat, which was named the best new musical.
