LONDON (AP) — “Killing Eve” star Jodie Comer has been named best actor at London’s WhatsOnStage awards.

Gwyneth Keyworth was named best supporting performer in a play for playing Scout in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” A revival of “Legally Blonde: The Musical” scored acting prizes for Courtney Bowman, as best performer in a musical, and Lauren Drew as best supporting performer.
