The Bob Marley Musical; and Moulin Rouge! The Musical; and Best New Play winner Life of Pi, above.
Cabaret came out on top, winning seven Oliviers, including Best Actor and Actress in a Musical for Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley, and Best Musical Revival. The new play adaptation of Life of Pi was also a big winner, receiving five Oliviers, including Best New Play.
