I have just been looking at The Society of London Theatres website. at past Olivier winners.

I noticed in 1989 the awards seemed to be cancelled? can anyone shed any light on this, if in deed it did happen?

Were they cancelled or was it just a re-organisation of "proceedings" ? I can't remember. These awards have undergone many changes over the years.
Incredible that Return to the Forbidden Planet beat Miss Saigon for Best Musical that year.

Exactly I take your last point, RTTFP was pretty much horrible.

Likewise The Will Roger Follies beating Miss Saigon to the Tony.

Please. Will Rogers Follies is superior to Miss Saigon in every way.

Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

It appears the 1989 and 1990 Oliviers were combined. Here's a link to the winners:

Hope it helps.

"Will Rogers Follies is superior to Miss Saigon in every way."

How so?

How can I put it? To me, Miss Saigon is a misconcieved mess, a soggy travesty of its brilliant source material, Madama Butterfly.

Will Rogers Follies is a wonderfully smart and original theatrical biography told in the form of a Ziegfield Follies show - much as The Scottsboro Boys is told in the form of a minstrel show, I'm surprised comparisons have not been noted -with an exceptionally strong book and a GREAT Cy Coleman score.

IMO, of course.
