A special concert is being held at the Festival Hall next year to mark the 40th anniversary of the Olivier Awards.

Held in partnership with BBC Radio 3 and the BBC Concert Orchestra, it will take place on 25 January 2016 and feature a "host of West End stars performing a selection of songs from celebrated stage musicals".

Casting for the show, which is titled The Oliviers In Concert, is still to be announced. Tickets are available now.

Established in 1976, the Oliviers are London's pre-eminent theatre awards. Originally known as the Society of West End Theatre Awards, they were renamed in honour of Laurence Olivier in 1984.
