Well the Oliviers have razzamatazzed - our Mrs Henderson Presents hopes of glory faded but we still have the kudos of the four nominations. Emma and Tracie performed Mountains brilliantly and showed the musical class of our piece. I do send congratulations to all the winners - our industry is full of such amazing talent. All we need now is #CreativeTeamParity to happen......
To help in that regard The Also Recognised Awards (Courtesy Terri Paddock and Mark Shenton) deliver their second year of plaudits - including Best Musical Direction - all cheer, please - today!
