The Stage Debut Awards have announced a stellar line-up of guest presenters and performances from the West End’s most popular musicals for their annual ceremony at 8 Northumberland Avenue, London on 29 September.

As the UK's only awards dedicated to celebrating breakthrough theatre talent, this prestigious event shines a spotlight on the industry’s rising stars from performers, directors, writers, composers and lyricists to set, costume, lighting, sound and video design.

Some of the biggest names in theatre will gather to honour this year’s standout talent. After her own triumphant debut as host last year, legendary drag artist, performer and singer Divina De Campo returns to once again lead the ceremony. The evening will recognise 49 nominees across eight categories — all who made remarkable professional debuts over the past year.

The awards will be presented by a star-studded roll call of well-known personalities including actor and writer Stephen Mangan, Pearl Mackie, Diana Vickers, and Alfred Enoch.

Representing the behind-the-scenes talent is directing powerhouse and Bush Theatre artistic director Lynette Linton, Tony and Olivier award-winning designer Rae Smith, musical powerhouse duo Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, and book writer of the Olivier award-winning Best New Musical Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Chris Bush.

The ceremony will feature performances from some of the hottest shows on the West End. Georgina Castle, currently playing the infamous Regina George in Mean Girls at the Savoy Theatre, will perform a number from the show. Joining her is Timmika Ramsay, who is dazzling audiences as Miss Adelaide in the hit revival of Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theatre, who will also perform a number from this legendary musical. Divina De Campo, whose performance last year was a hit with the audience, will also take the stage with another iconic number while celebrated actor, comedian and writer, Nick Mohammed, is set to perform in the guise of his acclaimed and hilarious alter-ego Mr. Swallow in a very special and exclusive performance.
