London’s Laurence Olivier Awards to Be Held on March 13

The Laurence Olivier Awards, which honor the best in British theater, will be held on March 13 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, according to Whatsonstage.com.

Full nominations for the Oliviers will be announced in early February 2011, with one category open to public voting: the Radio 2 Audience Award for the Most Popular Show.

The show will receive “extensive” coverage on the BBC across their television, radio, and online news services, and the ceremony will include “specially created theatrical entertainment” backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
