It's that time of year again, when I show my appreciation for the work I've seen on stage over the last 12 months by indulging in my own version of the Tonys or Oliviers.

Apologies that I didn't get a chance to see a lot of productions late in the year- including The Demon Headmaster, Beauty and the Beast, Hamlet - the Comedy! and Les Miserables. Because the only rule of the Mumbys is you have to be seen to be nominated, I'm afraid I can't include these in my list.
