21st Annual WhatsOnStage Awards

Streamed worldwide from The Turbine Theatre via stream.theatre

Celebrate UK theatre with this unique star-studded ceremony broadcast direct to your home wherever you are in the world!

The all-star lineup has been revealed…

Cedric Neal will perform “Gotta Start Somewhere” from Back to the Future the Musical, which is gearing up for an eagerly anticipated West End opening at the Adelphi Theatre after its Manchester run was disrupted by the pandemic.

Lizzie Bea, set to lead the West End revival of Hairspray later this year at the London Coliseum, will perform “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Carousel.

Ivano Turco will perform “Only You, Lonely You” from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brand new West End musical Cinderella opening at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.

Blake Patrick Anderson, Cleve September, Danielle Fiamanya, Frances Mayli, Grace Mouat, Jodie Steele, Jordan Luke Gage, Layton Williams, Matt Croke, Millie O’Connell and Sophie Isaacs will perform “Let The Sunshine In” from Hair. The outdoor revival of the show played on a jetty outside The Turbine Theatre last year and will be returning for performances at The London Palladium and on tour later in 2021.

Stage star Siubhan Harrison will perform “Head Over Feet” from Jagged Little Pill, which was nominated for the most Tony Awards (15) of the season.

Emma Kingston will perform “I Can Do Better Than That” from The Last Five Years after leading a socially distanced outdoor revival of Jason Robert Brown’s musical at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall.

Danielle Fiamanya and Matt Croke will perform “Crazy Rolling” from Moulin Rouge!. Fiamanya recently appeared in Curve’s The Color Purple virtual production, while Croke performed another number from Moulin Rouge! on The Voice UK earlier this year, earning public acclaim

Alexia Khadime and Christine Allado will perform “When You Believe” from The Prince of Egypt, which had its gargantuan West End production at the Dominion Theatre temporarily halted by the pandemic last year, but is now set to return

Dom Hartley-Harris and Alex Thomas-Smith will perform “I’ll Cover You” from Rent, returning to the roles of Collins and Angel after a smash-hit run at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester was cut short by the pandemic

Jamie Muscato will perform “Something’s Coming” from West Side Story, having led the show when it was mounted at Curve Leicester in Winter 2019

Oscar Conlon-Morrey and Amy Hart will make appearances to highlight some of the work being done by the theatre community on and off the stage.

This year the Awards will be a little different…

They will be broadcast on Sunday 14 March at 7pm GMT and hosted by the sensational Jodie Prenger and Tom Read Wilson.

The awards will reunite a number of creatives from last year, including producer Paul Taylor-Mills, musical director Alex Parker and lighting and set designer Jack Weir.

This celebration of UK theatre will include thrilling performances from musicals that were cut short in 2020 along with brand-new shows we all hope to see in 2021 and beyond. Plus, as we’ll be coming of age, we’re expecting some ‘surprise’ 21st birthday messages from your favourite performers and creatives!

Don’t miss your chance to join audiences across the globe and stand shoulder to shoulder with those in our industry celebrating the vital contribution theatre makes to the world, financially and emotionally. Theatre will be back, bigger, better and stronger than ever.
