Morecambe wins Olivier Award
Morecambe, MJE Productions' West End hit charting the life of Britain's greatest comedian, scooped up a prestigious Olivier Award at this year's ceremony held in central London last night. The show, which wowed audiences and critics at the Duchess Theatre over Christmas, clinched the award for Best Entertainment.
Writer, Tim Whitnall, collected the award and joked that his competitor 'Derren Brown did predict that Morecambe would win so thank you, Derren'. He went on to credit director Guy Masterson who 'gave us all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order' and star Bob Golding who 'has achieved one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in the West End'. But finally, it was 'to Eric and Ernie' that he dedicated the success.
