NODA Regional Awards 2025

DAODS is incredibly proud to share that it has received not one, not two, but three nominations in the 2025 NODA London District Awards!

Here’s what we’re celebrating:

1. Best Traditional Pantomime – Aladdin
Our 2025 panto Aladdin has been nominated for The Nigel Gravette Award for Best Performance in a Traditional Pantomime – a huge recognition of the energy, creativity, and fun that went into this production. From dazzling sets to outrageous jokes, Aladdin was a real team effort and a total joy to stage!

2. Thierry Zimmerman – Wishee Washee in Aladdin
We’re thrilled that Thierry Zimmerman has also been individually nominated in the same category for her hilarious and loveable performance as Wishee Washee. Her comic timing, charm, and infectious stage presence brought so much heart to the show – we’re so proud of her!

3. Lily Turner – Elle Woods in Legally Blonde
Congratulations to Lily Turner, who has been nominated for The Molly Harle Award for Best Female Character in a Musical for her vibrant and confident performance in Legally Blonde. A brilliant lead and a joy to watch on stage – well done, Lily!

We are beyond proud of our cast, crew, creative teams, and everyone who supported these productions.

Thank you to NODA for recognising the work and passion that goes into what we do – and huge congratulations to all the other nominees across the region!

Roll on the awards in June!

Congratulations to our friends in our same district for their nominations too!
