Der Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical (deutsch: Laurence Olivier Auszeichnung für die beste Hauptdarstellerin in einem Musical) ist ein britischer Theater- und Musicalpreis, der erstmals 1979 vergeben wurde.[1]
Geschichte und Hintergrund[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Die Laurence Olivier Awards werden seit 1976 jährlich in zahlreichen Kategorien von der Society of London Theatre vergeben. Sie gelten als höchste Auszeichnung im britischen Theater und sind vergleichbar mit den Tony Awards am amerikanischen Broadway. Ausgezeichnet werden herausragende Darsteller und Produktionen einer Theatersaison, die im Londoner West End zu sehen waren. Die Nominierten und Gewinner der Laurence Olivier Awards „werden jedes Jahr von einer Gruppe angesehener Theaterfachleute, Theaterkoryphäen und Mitgliedern des Publikums ausgewählt, die wegen ihrer Leidenschaft für das Londoner Theater“ bekannt sind.[2] Eine der Preiskategorien ist der Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Er wird seit 1979 vergeben. In den Jahren 1977 und 1978 gab es die Auszeichnung Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Musical. 1977 gewann Anna Sharkey den Preis für ihre Rolle in Maggie, 1978 Elaine Paige für ihre Rolle in Evita.
