The stage version of Billy Elliot has won four Laurence Olivier awards.
The show won best actor in a musical, best theatre choreographer, best sound design and best new musical.
James Lomas, 15, George Maguire, 15, and Liam Mower, 13, who share the title role, shared the award for best actor in a musical, becoming the only actors to have won the award in a shared capacity. They are also the youngest ever winners of an award.
The trio beat Ewan McGregor, who was nominated for his role in Guys and Dolls. "[We] didn't expect to beat him," they enthused. "It's outstanding."
Mower is the only one of the three still performing in the musical, as the others' voices have broken.
