The Official OLIVIERS Thread! — Page 4

No Julia Sutton? This sounds really ropey - has the audio been this bad all night?

---

My streaming stopped towards the end of Sister Act

Everything is a bit f*$")&! Ropey, I would just prefer to listen to the awards well than have sound and vision on a rubbish web-cast.

i am very impressed with the streaming quality I have had clear sight and sound the whole time, loving Hannah and Sister Act :)

What does the quality of video and sound depend on with these things? i've had perfect presentation right the way thru.

As I said I can't watch it. Can someone tell what song they did from Sister Act?

---

JamieHT: Sister Act did Raise Your Voice - I normally adore that song and have never seen the cast give a bad performance of it until tonight. I have to put it down to the sound production, can't believe so many of the cast would sound so flat / off-key.

Can anyone tell me what song the Priscilla divas performed? And were any of the new cast onstage?

---

Fab speech from Mark Rylance - the show will sweep it tonight.

So glad for Stephen Mear - hope this will renew interest in the show and ATG will finally bring it into town!

Wicked, well, it was thought it was going to happen. People who love Wicked will vote for, War Horse fans, won't actually vote!

Hannah Waddingham, excellent, she is so underatted and I've a bad feeling she'll be over looked tonight AGAIN!

Mel C - someone lob her hand off please and tell her how to breath thru a song!

Priscilla performance - OH Dear!

Sister Act performance - Hate this show, but actually they pulled it off

Other comment so far... who the bloomin eck wrote Anthony Heads script! Load both barrells!

Looking forward to the next bit now.. Mama... any gossip from within? Not there this year, watching from the comfort of ones sofa!
