Variety: Behind-the-scenes changes are now under way to the Olivier Awards’ judging system, Variety has learned, with the revisions prompting sources to worry that they threaten the credibility of the kudos just as the awards show prepares to return to greater visibility with the first national TV broadcast of the ceremony in a decade.
Though still officially under wraps, plans are afoot that, according to insiders, will sideline the awards’ small pool of famously impartial judges by adding the votes of members of the Society of London Theater, the org comprising some 170 theater owners, producers and general managers, in the final round of the complex voting system.
