Sleepless AMusical Romance should win Best New Musical as it had a superb cast, really lovely story and bravely lead the way on showing how theatre could be staged safely while fully complying with Covid guidelines

Thanks Pauline – very much agree with your comments particularly about Sleepless leading the way for others to follow at a really difficult time.

Sleepless was a thoroughly welcome spark of light in the dark days of lockdown. Against the odds, the producers, cast, crew, creatives and venue staff all pulled together to prove that a top quality show could happen. The show itself was a heartwarming story of ultimate social distancing turned love story. Great chemistry from the leads and top class support. Was lucky enough to see this show twice and would go again.
