The information
When you access the site you will see a list of award categories. Select the category you wish to vote on and you will be taken to a page to select the candidates.
You can indicate up to 4 preferences per category from a dropdown list of the eligible candidates. Please select your vote in order of preference starting with your 1st choice (i.e. choosing 1 for your first choice, 2 for your second choice, etc).
You do not have to vote in every category (e.g. if you do not think there are any worthy candidates in a particular category), but in those categories in which you do vote, you should vote for 4 candidates, unless you feel there should be less than 4 nominations in the category.
The theatre panel has now met and discussed all main theatre categories. They have marked with 3 asterisks (***) to denote those candidates that the panel feel are worthy of attention by voters.
Where there are fewer candidates in a category, there are no indications of the panel’s preferences.
Please note: for the 4 categories of Actor in a Supporting Role, Actress in a Supporting Role, Supporting Actor in a Musical, and Supporting Actress in a Musical, the lists are made up of approximately 10-15 candidates who have been long-listed by the panel, due to the number of people potentially eligible for these categories. Therefore, there are no asterisks for these categories.
Round 2 voting for the winners will open on 5 March and you will receive more information closer to the time.
Yours sincerely,
The Olivier Awards Team
