Further acts have been confirmed for this year's 18th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards.

Joining the recently announced Everybody's Talking About Jamie is Tyrone Huntley (Dreamgirls, Jesus Christ Superstar), Alice Fearn (Wicked) and Janie Dee (Follies).

The concert will be directed by Russell Labey with musical supervision by Alex Parker. It is produced by WhatsOnStage and Stuart Piper for Cole Kitchenn, with production management by Chris Fisher.

The annual ceremony takes place at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 25 February 2018 and will see the winners of this year's WhatsOnStage Awards announced, as well as performances from some of the UK's top theatre talent.

The WhatsOnStage Award nominees were announced at the launch earlier this month, with Bat Out of Hell and 42nd Street leading the way with eight nominations each. In the Best Actor in a Play category, Andrew Garfield (Angels in America), Andrew Scott (Hamlet), Bryan Cranston (Network), David Tennant (Don Juan in Soho) and Martin Freeman (Labour of Love) are all recognised. Eve Best (Love in Idleness), Imelda Staunton (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Olivia Colman (Mosquitoes), Natalie Dormer (Venus in Fur) and Tamsin Greig (Labour of Love) compete for Best Actress in a Play.

Tickets for the concert are available for the public to buy, and the awards themselves are the only major theatre awards in which the audience choose who wins at every stage of the voting.
