I enjoyed the show, but do agree with some of the negative comments on here, a very good show, not well put together, think the Regents Park Open Air theatres honeymoon period at the Olivier might well be over next year?

I think CFT deserve it next year (they did this year).

I don't know what CFT is?

Thanks for that, Chichester will WIN best revival next year, considering there definitely only seems to be 3 nominees and a maybe possibility of a fourth and that is if Jesus Christ Superstar finds a theatre.
So for the best revival next year, you will have
Sweeney Todd Ragtime Kiss me, Kate Jesus Christ Superstar
Ragtime aint going to win, as the show isn't loved by the Olivier committee and the production didn't exactly knock it out of Regents Park and Jesus Christ Superstar as everyone knows is written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and the Olivier committee don't exactly love him either and they aren't going to give a Olivier to something that was cast by TV, so yes with both Sweeney Todd and Kiss Me, Kate done by Chichester, they better start writing their acceptance speeches now, but the only problem now is, which Chichester production is going to win?
As much as I love the Open Air theatre and delighted for sentimental reasons that they scooped their third Olivier in a row, I didn't exactly love 'Crazy for You' and thought 'Singin' In The Rain' was miles better, this is a rare occasion you find me agreeing with ClapYo'Hands who is a young kid, but who likes to portray himself as a absolute authority on theatre.
