Eddie Redmayne and Liz Carr were among the winners at this year’s Olivier Awards.
The star-studded ceremony was held at the Royal Albert Hall in and saw ’s slay the green carpet in.
Oscar-winning actor Redmayne was named best actor in a musical for his take on the role of Emcee in Cabaret.
The revival of the hit show, which transformed the West End’s Playhouse Theatre into the Kit Kat Club, proved to be the hot ticket of the night as it scooped seven of the 11 prizes it was nominated for.
It took home the coveted best musical revival award, while Jessie Buckley won best actress in a musical for her turn as Sally Bowles in the show.
Accepting his award, Redmayne admitted: ‘This is the dream. For me, this is the one.
‘This was the part that I played when I was a kid in school. It was the thing that got my passion for theatre really fuelled.’
Elsewhere, Carr won the best supporting actress prize for her role in A Normal Heart while Pride And Prejudice (Sort Of) was named best entertainment or comedy play.
Life Of Pi took home the gong for best play, with Hiran Abeysekera named best actor for his role in the production.
He played Pi Patel in Lolita Chakrabarti’s adaption of the Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name by Yann Martel.
