00:06I feel very excited.
00:18It'll always be musical.
00:20Well, it became quite an online sensation.
00:23I don't think any of us could have predicted that it would be a franchise the way it became.
00:27I got very, very lucky. We all did. So, yeah, very exciting.
00:32Just being in London particularly and performing in London, how is that?
00:35It's so warm. It's so welcoming.
00:37I got to be here with this guy over here who I just love so dearly.
00:40And it's just been the best experience.
00:43I think some of the best theatre is done out here.
00:44And it's just really nice to get to add to that.
00:46I just had to have a good by 12, good by 13, have a dance break in my kitchen.
00:53I'm a musician.
00:55Oh, God, thank you.
00:58And you saw the present or the first preview.
01:01The very first preview.
01:03Okay.
01:03And such of your own breathtaking.
01:09Well, I tell you the nomination bit is absolutely magical.
01:12And the day is more trepidatious, I suppose.
01:16Because I think, you know, as an actor, you, however, whatever people might think,
01:21you actually don't do this job to be singled out.
01:26You do it to be part of a collaborative effort.
01:29So to be singled out is, is, is wonderful, but it's also, it's conflicting.
01:44Of course, because I felt like I was part of the renaissance, if you like, of the new British musical,
01:52which Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, they forged.
01:56And we were through those shows for Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph, Phantom,
02:02all those shows, those English cats.
02:05Those were the shows that were coming from London and going to Broadway.
02:08When, of course, when I first started out in musical theater, it was the other way around.
02:12All the Broadway shows would come to London.
02:15But I was very much part of that, that renaissance.
02:20I always call it that.
02:22Because it was us taking it to them.
02:25Yeah.
02:30I don't think back too often.
02:32I think it's a folly.
02:33I think one should keep moving forward and growing and learning.
02:37So I don't often think back.
02:38So I get a suspicion that maybe tonight they might remind me.
02:44I love you things that I did.
02:47But, of course, I was very lucky and fortunate.
03:03Absolutely incredible.
03:05I've done so much in my upright career and also beyond into musical theater.
03:09And I've worked really hard to try to get as many people interested in classical music.
03:13And I come from musicals.
03:15So it's a real full circle for me to be a few Olivier's.
03:18And to be receiving this in front of a community that I know on both sides of Accra and on
03:23musicals.
03:24And there's a board there.
03:26There's a bunch of the tubs for people who want to get it.
03:28You can see these people.
03:30Hi.
03:30Hi.
03:31Hi.
03:31Hi.
03:33Hi.
03:35Hi.
03:37Hi.
03:37Hi.
03:44Hi.
03:51Hi.
03:56Hi.
03:57Hi.
03:58That's me.
03:59OK.
04:03It's going to happen.
04:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:09It is.
04:10We agree directly.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Oh, my God.
04:13Well, Shaka Khan, but apparently it's already happened.
04:15But Gaga.
04:16Oh, wait.
04:16Gaga.
04:18I think that Paddington speaks to us in loads of different ways.
04:23I think he becomes really accessible for everyone in loads of different ways.
04:26I think whether you love his kindness, whether you love his message, whether you love sandwiches
04:31like he does, marmalade sandwiches like he does, or tea.
04:34I think he just speaks to so many different people in so many different ways.
04:37And he reminds us of the innocence and to accept everybody for who they are, which is a very
04:43important message.
05:00I think it's part of the, you know, being in an amazing plane, and he was so lucky.
05:06My plea is that from the top central government do see that and they see how economically
05:14important we are to our GDP and support it and that includes local theatres and I really
05:21think tonight we have a special tag on the Olivier's this evening which is to support
05:28your local theatre and I grew up going to my local theatre and then performing.
05:49Well I'm here to support Jack Holden who I'm working on a new version of To Be Weird so he's
05:55up for about five awards tonight so quite heavy and it'd be great if he wins obviously because
06:00you know we'll get some of that kind of gorgeous glory for what we're doing but yeah that's
06:07why I'm here you know.
06:20I think it's been revitalised post-Covid I think we probably need to do a little bit
06:24of work on the ticket prices for people to be honest but I think we're in good shape
06:29much better shape than we've been for years.
06:31That is true.
06:32That is true.
06:32All of our partners actually, everyone that works for this show, they put up with us.
06:36Where are you?
06:37Oh he's just trying to get the song right.
06:52It feels very nice to be appreciated you know everyone really really loved to be down here.
06:57Thank you
06:57How that whoa it's an incredible job at home?
07:02What could you do?
