This Sunday, London's biggest theatre stars come together to celebrate the 2024 Laurence Olivier Awards, hosted by Hannah Waddingham. While it might take some time for this season's nominees to make it across the pond (NOTE: Sunset Boulevard, Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends, and Stranger Things: First Shadow have already announced plans to transfer next season), you can catch past Olivier-winning productions on Broadway now!
Cabaret
Rebecca Frecknall's daring new revival was the darling of the 2022 Olivier Awards, with eleven nominations and seven wins, including Best Musical Revival and Best Director. Eddie Redmayne reprises his Olivier-winning role as the Emcee on Broadway this season, while the other three winning roles (played by Jessie Buckley, Liza Sadovy, and Elliot Levey) have been taken over by Gayle Rankin, Bebe Neuwirth and Steven Skybell respectively.
Cabaret is running on Broadway at the August Wilson Theatre.
Patriots
At last year's Olivier Awards, Peter Morgan's Patriots was nominated three categories, including Best New Play. Today, you can catch Will Keen in his Olivier-winning performance as Vladimir Putin on Broadway.
Patriots is running on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.
Back to the Future
Great Scott! Did you know that this musical was nominated for seven Olivier Awards in 2022 and won for Best New Musical? You can now catch Hugh Coles (George McFly) in his nominated performance in the Broadway production.
Back to the Future is running on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Merrily We Roll Along
Before it took Broadway by storm last fall, Maria Friedman's acclaimed revival was making it big in the West End. The production was nominated for six Olivier Awards in 2014 and won for Best Musical Revival and Best Sound Design.
Merrily We Roll Along is running on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre.
