It’s official. This year’s Olivier Awards are underway! We kicked off the event with a world-first Green Carpet made of grass, as part of our efforts to make this year’s awards as sustainable as possible. Richard Parker the Tiger helped us open the Green Carpet for this year’s event, prowling up the carpet to the Royal Albert Hall.
Check out our Green Carpet Show on YouTube, where we caught up with our presenters, nominees and celebrity guests as they arrive in style, and find our gallery below!
