Olivier Awards with Cunard 2026

Cunard took centre stage as Headline Partner of the 50th anniversary Olivier Awards during a star-studded ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall, complete with our iconic bellhops, who welcomed guests and posed for photographs before joining host Nick Mohammed on stage to present the awards. 

Cunard host Anita Rani welcomed celebrities, nominees and winners on the Green Carpet and backstage, including Rachel Zegler, who won Best Actress in a Musical, and the cast of Cunard Best New Musical, Paddington the Musical.

Paddington the Musical triumphed at the ceremony, winning seven awards, including the coveted Cunard Best New Musical award, accepted by writers Tom Fletcher and Jessica Swale and presented by Elizabeth Hurley.
