Calling all divas, stagey types and West End wannabes – get Friday 30th October in your diary!
Yes that’s right, the lovely West End Wilma is back with her stagey awards to celebrate the best that London theatre has to offer.
It’s been a busy year for this naughty nana, with several awards to her name, not to mention seeing as many shows as her busy OAP lifestyle allows!
So, get ready to be wowed at The Hippodrome Casino for another phantastical awards ceremony, hosted once again by the fabulous Tim McArthur and is set to be a starry, stagey affair.
As you all know I’m a huge fan of Killian Donnelly and Eva Noblezada, but I’m really going to struggle with casting my votes this year…although between you and me The Nether was definitely a highlight (and one of very few 5* reviews from me this year).
