LONDON (AP) — Screen stars Jude Law, Tom Hiddleston and Judi Dench are among big-name nominees as Britain's theater community gets set for the Laurence Olivier Awards.
Two members of Swedish supergroup ABBA are set to perform during Sunday's ceremony at London's Royal Opera House, celebrating the 15-year London run of "Mamma Mia."
New musical "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and revival "Merrily We Roll Along" lead the nominations, with seven apiece. Musicals "Once," ''The Book of Mormon" and "The Scottsboro Boys" — all of which originated on Broadway — are nominated in six categories each.
Law and Hiddleston are both best-actor nominees for Shakespeare roles, in "Henry V" and "Coriolanus," respectively. Dench is up for best-actress for playing the real-life inspiration for "Alice in Wonderland" in "Peter and Alice."
