WhatsOnStage Award winners 2022

The WhatsOnStage Awards were presented at an in-person ceremony at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Sunday February 27th.

Musicals FROZEN, ANYTHING GOES and BACK TO THE FUTURE were the big winners in a star-studded evening which also saw awards for smaller regional productions too.

FROZEN was the biggest winner with a clutch of offstage awards including Best Direction, Musical Direction, Choreography, Sound Design, Sets, Costumes, Video Design and Graphic Design

ANYTHING GOES won Best Musical Revival and Best Female Identifying Supporting Role for the delightful Carly Mercedes Dyer, who very much deserved it in my opinion!

BACK TO THE FUTURE won Best New Musical despite missing out on lead acting awards except for Hugh Coles who won Best Supporting Male Identifying Performance. It also won Best Lighting.

Kenny Wax’s SIX THE MUSICAL won the annual Best West End Show Award this year.

It was good to see Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre win Best Regional Production for RENT.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
