Nominations phase closes for 2013 Whatsonstage.com Awards

Shortlists will be unveiled at a glittering industry-only Awards Launch party next Friday (7 December 2012) at the West End’s Cafe de Paris, with guest presenters including Alistair McGowan, Tamzin Outhwaite, Mark Gatiss, Belinda Lang and Stephen Tompkinson.

There will also be a performance from the US cast of Tony Award winner American Idiot and, as just announced, a quartet of Niamh Perry, Zizi Strallen, Stuart Matthew Price and Iwan Lewis.

Voting for the winners commences immediately after the Launch Party.

Final
results are announced during the star-studded {Awards
Concert::E8831349197700}, which takes place on Sunday 17 February 2013
at the Palace Theatre, hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Rufus Hound.

The
evening includes a two-and-a-half hour Concert performed by numerous
nominees and other top West End stars as well as numbers from some of
the year’s biggest musicals – and of course, your big-name winners
collecting their trophies to your cheers.

Both events are held in aid of this year’s adopted charity, Interact
(part of Stagecoach Charitable Trust), which provides disabled and
disadvantaged children and young people with real opportunities to
develop valuable skills for life through drama, movement and music
workshops. Anyone wanting to support InterAct by making a donation
