In this special episode we’re celebrating the best of London theatre with a full breakdown of the 2025 Olivier Awards. With Fiddler on the Roof leading the nominations with 13, it was an exciting night for theatre, but a range of shows came out victorious. Fiddler on the Roof, Giant, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button each took home three awards, while Oedipus and Titanique won two.
We discuss the major wins of the evening, including Romola Garai's surprise victory in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category for The Years, and stage veterans Lesley Manville and John Lithgow, who both claimed Best Actress and Best Actor awards for their roles in Oedipus and Giant, respectively. We also celebrate Elliot Levey's win in the Best Supporting Actor category for Giant.
The prestigious Best Musical Revival award went to Fiddler on the Roof, while The Curious Case of Benjamin Button triumphed with Best New Musical, Giant took Best New Play, and Oedipus received the Best Revival award.
We also shine a spotlight on the musical theatre winners: Layton Williams won his first Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Titanique, while Imelda Staunton claimed Best Actress in a Musical for Hello, Dolly!. John Dagleish won Best Actor in a Musical for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Maimuna Memon took home Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812.
Join us for an exclusive recap of this year’s Olivier Awards, where we discuss the outstanding performances, key moments, and what this night means for the future of London theatre.
