Muriel Sweeps Helpmanns
The raucous musical remake of Muriel’s Wedding has dominated this year’s Helpmann Award nominations, which also include the possibility of a prominent actor and his son each taking home trophies on consecutive nights.
Muriel’s Wedding the Musical received 11 nominations, including best musical, best direction in a musical (Simon Phillips, also nominated for Dream Lover) and best female actor in a musical for Maggie McKenna, who played Muriel.
