| Because there IS a history of Olivier winners and nominees who have come to Broadway, hoping to repeat their acclaim and receive awards attention. Recent Olivier-winning plays from London that then won the Best Play Tony: ''Harry Potter,'' ''The Ferryman,'' ''The Inheritance,'' ''Leopoldstadt,'' etc. Conversely, Tony-winning musicals that went on to win the Olivier: ''The Book of Mormon,'' ''Kinky Boots,'' ''Hamilton,'' ''Dear Evan Hansen,'' etc. Among performers, Eddie Redmayne won the Olivier for ''Cabaret''; he just got a Tony nomination earlier this week. Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Francis just won the Oliviers for ''Sunset Blvd.''; I'd be shocked if the two of them weren't at least Tony nominees in '25. Being an Olivier winner/nominee is no guarantee of Tony success, or vice versa, but sometimes performers get prizes/nominations on both coasts. Chances are, if you're an Olivier winner/nominee, or a Tony winner/nominee, you've probably got a flashier role than others that's awards bait. |
