WhatsOnStage.com awards concert

Sunday night was a work related outing to the WoS awards do at the Prince of Wales. Not your typical show but a great evening nonetheless.

James Corden and Sheridan Smith were fantastic as hosts. Yes they (he, especially) came close to crossing the line a few times but I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Think the awards themselves were, on the whole, predictable. No major shocks. Though I was a little surprised by the margin that Sofia Escobar won Best Musical actress by.

I swayed between "very impressed" (Elena Roger and Kim Criswell) and "really disappointed" (Jersey Boys and Sarah Lark) on the performances front. A nice selection of songs but it would have been good to have more detail on the shows they came from.

A great night out though and would certainly go again next year.
