School of Rock wins its one nomination. Bit of an upset, should of been Half a Sixpence or Groundhog Day in my opinion.

Clearly, the last 2 awards were held back to allow their winners to come over from the Palace to collect their awards.

To be fair the technical awards for Harry Potter are well deserved as is Anthony Boyles.
Bit surprised School of Rock won over Aladdin.
Actually musicals wise there are a few surprises. The shows in the bigger theatres seen by more people and with bigger fanbases haven't really come out on top

I think all the musical winners were ultimately deserved though. They were all great!  |

Also Amber winning over Sheridan with all her crazy fans. Really surprising year. Or WOS Awards are not taken that seriously these days so shows/actors don't campaign for votes like they used to

Also, stunned The Girls won over Rent. That show has crazy fans and has for like 20 years and is on a UK Tour, has a sold out run in London so tonnes of people have seen it! But then, we know one of two things happened... The Girls won because of Gary Barlow's fanbase or Gary slipped them some money.  |

Or WOS Awards are not taken that seriously these days so shows/actors don't campaign for votes like they used to While personally I think Amber deserves it over Sheridan, I find it ridiculous she was nominated in the first place. Submitting nominations for the awards ended on 24th November and Dreamgirls only started previews on 19th November. The fact that she was eligible in the first place shows how flawed the awards are. |

That, I agree with. It seems like they just picked the easiest roles/places that maybe previous incarnations of the show have amazed at and got nominations through that like Jimmy and Effie being the showiest roles etc. I know audiences "pick" the nominees but there is no way, based on 5 days of performances, it could of got enough votes for their nominations. |

Submitting nominations for the awards ended on 24th November and Dreamgirls only started previews on 19th November. The fact that she was eligible in the first place shows how flawed the awards are. True, although she did get raves from the very first preview almost across the board from those who did see it early, so I don't think the win was undeserved, and it would have been equally ridiculous had she won a year from now, which will presumably be long after she leaves the show given she's only contracted until November. It was just a badly scheduled opening in that respect - I don't think anyone would have thought it being nominated odd if it had started even a month earlier. I'm just glad The Last Five Years won, and utterly bemused that School of Rock won - I'd have said it was the least likely winner in that category! |
