Also announced this morning that “Standing at the Sky’s Edge” is transferring to the Gillian Lynne early next year. So anyone who is upset they missed it will have a chance to see this incredible show, now!

Oh, I hope not. The music award rules for the Oliviers is bonkers. A very funny quote that I wholeheartedly agree with from sf on the other chat board:
"That music/score/orchestrations category is ridiculous every year. Whoever dreamed it up is completely clueless about music. Most years they end up with the equivalent of nominating a satsuma, a pear, and an apple for an award for best banana.
I hope they turn the down the volume on the music.....the sound was quite deafening when I saw it.

I don’t disagree with that. I just meant with how musical theater is now, with such a large amount of new shows being “jukebox” shows, if it was something that could happen here.
