New plays at the Olivier in the last few years:
Dear England
Nye
Small Island
The Father and the Assassin
Paradise
Death of England: Delroy
Boys from the Blackstuff
Jack Absolute Flies Again (arguably a revival)
Ballet Shoes (coming up)

new musicals:
The Witches
Standing at the Sky's Edge

That seems fairly solid bunch to me

Sky’s Edge was Sheffield Crucible though and just transferred to the Nash from my understanding? Best musical there I can remember.

Sheffield Theatres described it as a "co-production with the National Theatre"

I am not 100% certain, but I think that the NT came on-board this production after the original 2019 Sheffield premiere, in order to co-produce, restage and transfer the Sheffield revival in 2022.
