The Book of Mormon Wins London's Best Night Out Evening Standard Award

This year's Evening Standard Theatre Awards are being presented today at London's Savoy Theatre but it has already been announced that the reader-voted "London's Best Night Out" has been won by The Book of Mormon, following an online poll which also included nominations for  Once and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

According to the Evening Standard "Thousands of votes were received on our website, and the hit musical, currently at the Prince of Wales Theatre, beat off tough competition to scoop the prize."

The Book of Mormon is also nominated for the Ned Sherrin Award for Best Musical competing with the Menier Chocolate Factory's production of Merrily We Roll Along and the new Tori Amos penned musical The Light Princess at the National Theatre.
