She added that she wanted to do 'so many roles' and joked that the failing Hollywood star, Norma Desmond, depicted in the musical was not 'one of them'.
After weeks of accolades it was almost inevitable that Sarah Snook might lead the winners as the 2024 Olivier Awards got underway on Sunday evening - and so it proved as the Australian star was named Best Actress, and rightly so.
Snook - best known for her starring role in HBO series Succession - scooped the award for her mesmerising one-woman performance in a new West End production of Oscar Wilde's The Picture Of Dorian Gray.
The Australian actress takes all 26 roles in the production, among them Basil Hallward, Sibyl Vane and of course Gray himself.
Elsewhere there was triumph of sorts for Andrew Scott, who surprisingly lost out on the award for Best Actor but found himself among the winners after VANYA, director Stephen Simon's contemporary rendering of the Anton Chekhov classic, claimed the award for Best Revival during the event at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Scott brings to life multiple characters in adapter and co-creators Stephens' radical new version of the play, with Sunday's accolade coming just weeks after the death of his mother, Nora.
Sunday's show will once again be presented by seasoned stage and screen star Hannah Waddingham , who returns for the second consecutive year following her consummate job as compere in 2023
Sarah, known for her starring role in HBO series Succession, plays an impressive 26 characters in the one-woman West End production of Oscar Wilde's A Picture Of Dorian Gray
She stars as male characters including Gray and Basil Hallward as well as female characters such as actress Sibyl Vane
Adapted and directed by Sydney Theatre Company's artistic director Kip Williams, the play has already had successful runs in Adelaide, Auckland and Melbourne with actress Eryn Jean Norvill starring.
Snook paid tribute to Oscar Wilde, the author of The Picture Of Dorian Gray, for coming up with the story in the first place and paid tribute to the one-woman show's production staff and director.
While Scott celebrated Vanya's triumph with his colleagues on Sunday night, the much-fancied star missed out on the award for Best Actor, with Mark Gatiss pipping him to the coveted gong.
Gatiss plays the late screen and stage legend Sir John Gielgud in Jack Thorne's The Motive And The Cue, a theatrical take on the fraught history behind a notorious 1964 Broadway production of Hamlet, starring Gielgud and Richard Burton.
