All look to be great choices to me.*

One thing I’d suggest for next year is that a production can only appear in one category, because those that appeared in more might have had their vote split. Maybe a regional gets shifted to West End or Off West End if it does one or more of those things subsequently? Touring is tricky though as it potentiqlly overlaps with pre and post West End or Regional.

Also, why no regional play?!

* EDIT: Had to be Follies for me but my totally outnumbered view on 42nd Street has already been expressed on that particular thread.

Me too!

I can only think this was due to more people voting after seeing it in the cinema. I saw it at the National but didn't feel the need to see it again whereas 42nd Street.......!!!

Pleased to see The Play That Goes Wrong get Best Touring Play. I was expecting it to be beaten by something more serious, especially as almost all the nominations in all 3 play categories are for serious plays.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to publish the voting percentages? I'm curious to see how much difference there was between Follies and 42nd Street!
