The Olivier Awards 2026 lit up the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 12th April, celebrating the very best of British theatre.

Bringing together industry icons and rising talent, the night reflected a year of bold, ambitious work on stage. With The Great Gatsby among the most recognised productions, this year’s nominations showcased the scale, creativity and diversity defining contemporary theatre.

From standout live performances to unforgettable award moments, the night captured the full spectrum of the artform. A powerful highlight was the In Memoriam tribute to Jon Cadbury — a true legend of the industry, whose impact on live events and theatre continues to be felt.

PRG was proud to support the event, supplying lighting equipment and working closely with lighting designer Gemma O’Sullivan whose creative vision helped make the evening the spectacular celebration of theatre that it was.

Thank you to the Society of London Theatre, Setting Line PM, Lee batty and Penny Lane Entertainment for having us as part of the team.
