Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical
The Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical is an annual award presented by The Society of London Theatre in recognition of achievements in commercial British theatre. The awards were established as the Society of West End Theatre Awards in 1976, and, renamed in 1984 in honour of English actor Lord Olivier. The Olivier Awards are the most prestigious theatrical awards in the United Kingdom and are the UK equivalent of the Tony Awards.
Until 2015, the Olivier Awards did not honour supporting musical performances separately and was therefore a unisex category, honouring both male and female actors. Starting with the 2015 ceremony, the awards have been separated into Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical and Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a MusicalWinners and nominees
