Hollywood meets the West End: Adrien Brody, Imelda Staunton and more earn Olivier Awards nods

Fiddler on the Roof comes out top at this year's awards, racking up a staggering 13 nominations - including Best Musical Revival and nods across all four acting categories for a musical. Directed by Jordan Fein (Oklahoma!, Young Vic) and starring Lara Pulver and Adam Dannheisser, the open-air production at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre has breathed fresh life into the classic which debuted on Broadway debut in 1964.
