There is a mixture of nominees, from plays and musicals who have all made spectacular West End Debuts in the last year.

The specific time that voting closes will be announced nearer the time. The result will also be revealed on Friday 20th July (the same date that voting closes).

UPDATE: On Friday 20th July 2012 voting will close at 2pm. The result will then be published at 3pm however we will announce the winner on our Facebook and Twitter pages slightly earlier.

  1. This is such a hard choice!!!! But for me it has to be Adam Pettigrew - such an amazing Boq who I fall in love with each time I see the show!

  2. Same, a very hard choice between Shayne and Adam. However for me it has to go to Shayne. :)

    Without a doubt this award HAS to go to Adam Pettigrew! Absolutely breathtaking as Boq, an incredible performer!

  4. Alex Lawther, without a shadow of a doubt. The boy has a huge future ahead of him. Just 17 years old and up against the likes of DeVito... I doff my hat to thee.

  5. Just has to be Adam as Boq. Fabulous performance for a newcomer! Star quality!

    Incredibly hard decision, would have gone to Pettigrew with no hesitation were it not for Lawther playing and enveloping his role beyond what even Hare could have envisaged. Frighteningly real!

  10. Err, yes, they are all excellent. But the best?

    Dani De Waal as Sophie Sheridan in Mamma Mia.

    Lay all your love on her, take a chance on her. When all is said and done, the Winner takes it all. It should be Dani.

    (She gave up a budding career in law to do this, such all round talent!)

  17. considering most of these guys have had significant theatre/tv/film exposure before I think it's fairly relevant to note that this is Alex Lawthers professional debut aswell!!! (having transferred with the play from Chichester). Amazing performance, cannot wait to see what the lad does next - ill be there!!!

  53. Alex Lawther - Blakemore.
    One of the most talented actors to have debuted this season and definetly out of the other candidates. His attention to detail and delicate portrayal of complex emotion astound while giving the appearance he is at home on the west end.
    Congratulations regardless to the result of this poll and I hope to see you again!
