Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll won a double accolade by winning the Best New Play category along with Rufus Sewell who scooped the Best Actor Award.

While turner won Best Actress for her performance as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Caroline, or Change won the Best Musical award. In a reference to the mixed reviews the show received in New York, a light-hearted message from the show's book and lyric writer Tony Kushner suggested that it would be a good idea for London's critics to replace their New York counterparts for a while.
