Call us nostalgic but as we approach the 25th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards we couldn’t help dusting off the photo albums to look back at past ceremonies.
Always the highlight of our theatrical calendars, the WhatsOnStage Awards celebrate the best of UK theatre and are the only major awards voted for by the fans.
Look back at some photos from the last ten years of events, and if you haven’t yet, why not get your ticket to join us on the 9 February at The London Palladium ?
