Paul Mescal, Jodie Comer and Beverley Knight are among the stars in the running for awards at this year’s Oliviers.
Other stars who have received nominations at the upcoming theatre awards show include David Tennant, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Nicola Walker and Tom Hollander.
The recent stage adaptation of the Studio Ghibil classic My Neighbour Totoro is 2023’s most-nominated production at the Oliviers, with a total of nine nods, including Best Entertainment Or Comedy Play, Best Director and Best Actress for Mei Mac.
Meanwhile, Normal People star Paul – who is currently in the running for an award at the Oscars later this month – was recognised in the Best Actor category for his performance in the new stage adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire.
