If you're into theatre and in London this weekend, this is one date in the diary you won’t want to miss. The What's On Stage Awards mark their 15th year. They celebrate the very best of shows from the West End to the Best Set design and all the awards are all partly nominated by theatregoers themselves. The award ceremony promise to be a star studded event and tickets are on sale for the public now. On the bill to perform at the ceremony will be Memphis the Musical star Beverley Knight, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Felicia in Memphis, which is nominated for a total of ten awards. On Sunday night the trophies, which are the only major theatre awards voted for by the public, will be handed out at the Prince Of Wales Theatre. The event will be hosted by Steve Furst who sat down with London Live's Louise Scodie to explain why he loves presenting award ceremonies, even if he doesn't like attending them.
