However fans have been left baffled and bored by the production, with scores of theatregoers streaming out of the show nearly every evening since its March 6 debut, complaining about the bewildering plot. Happy Valley actor James Norton was seen congratulating Sheridan, shortly after she was joined by the her co-stars including Amy Lennox and writer Rufus Wainwright. Sheridan has begun a 21-week sting in the new musical Opening Night at the Gielgud Theatre - based on the namesake 1977 film about the actress who is left traumatised by the death of a teenage fan.
