For this year’s Olivier Awards with Mastercard, we want you to nominate a friend, colleague, teacher or family member who inspires or inspired a love of theatre in you – a Be Inspired champion – to be treated like a star for the night.
So with creative origins firmly in mind, we’ve been speaking to theatre’s stars and luminaries to find out who inspired them to reach the pinnacle of the industry, including the brilliant West End producer and co-owner of Nimax Theatres, Nica Burns.
Check out our video below (if you’re watching on your computer, be sure to hit the ‘Click to enter fullscreen’ button at the bottom of the video)!
To nominate your Be Inspired champion, submit a 30 second video OR 250 words of text telling us about them before Friday 16 February 2018 on our website.
Mastercard cardholders can also purchase public tickets to the Olivier Awards 2018 with Mastercard ceremony on Sunday 8 April.
