Harry Potter And The Cursed Child made theatre history by receiving nine gongs at the Olivier Awards.
The stage follow-up to the Harry Potter book saga picked up prizes including best new play, and best actor for Jamie Parker (Harry Potter).
Co-stars Noma Dumezweni (Hermione) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy) won in the best supporting actress and actor categories respectively.
John Tiffany took home the best director award for the J K Rowling adaptation, which had a total of 11 nominations.
Harry Potter And The Cursed Child passed the previous record of seven prizes set by Matilda The Musical in 2012 and The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time a year later.
Other winners on the night included Billie Piper, named best actress for her role in the Young Vic’s production of Yerma, where she plays “a woman driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child”.
The play opened to very positive reviews, praising Piper for her “astonishing” and “shatteringly powerful” role.
Receiving the award, Piper said she hoped her children would one day look back at this moment and “be proud”.
“Everything I do, I do it for them,” she added.
West End musical Groundhog Day was announced as best new musical, as well as best actor in a musical for Andy Karl.
Karl plays Phil Connors, the weather presenter made famous by Hollywood star Bill Murray in Harold Ramis’ 1993 comedy of the same name.
Best musical revival went to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic musical Jesus Christ Superstar, which was first performed in 1971.
And it wasn’t the only Lloyd Webber musical to scoop an award.
