So proud and So deserved! Congratulations Arti and James

Tonight at 7pm, don’t forget to tune in to BBC Two for the Laurence Olivier Awards! 🎭✨

So excited to see Paddington: The Musical take the stage 🐻❤️ — one of the most nominated shows this year with 11 nominations.

A huge good luck to Arti Shah, who is nominated for Best Actor in a Musical. A remarkable joint nomination alongside her co-performer James Hameed for their shared portrayal of Paddington.

What makes this even more special is how unique the performance is: Arti physically brings Paddington to life on stage, while James provides the voice — working together as one character in a truly magical piece of theatre.

To be recognised at this level is such an incredible achievement, placing Arti among the very best performers in UK theatre this year — and we couldn’t be prouder.

We’ll all be watching and cheering Arti and James on 🤞🏽❤️🐻✨
