The winners of 2010 Sydney Theatre Awards were announced last night on the 17th of January at the Paddington RSL auditorium.

In the show, Trevor Ashley pays tribute to a dozen divas from Judy Garland to Lady Gaga, sings up a storm and makes multiple costume changes on stage.
He currently stars in the Melbourne production of Hairspray as Edna Turnblad, and is about to perform his smash hit show Liza (on an E) for 2011 Midsumma Festival.
