Sheridan Smith is jubilant at the curtain call of her brand new West End musical Opening Night while a host of her celebrity friends turn out to see her performance


Sheridan Smith looked delighted as she celebrated at the curtain call of her brand new musical Opening Night in London on Tuesday.

Plenty of famous faces were at the musical's premiere, including West End star Marisha Wallace, fresh from her stint in Celebrity Big Brother. Wicked actor Jonathan Bailey looked happy to be back at the theatre just months after shooting finished on the new film musical starring Ariana Grande. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline inside her dressing room at London's Gielgud Theatre ahead of her debut performance in Opening Night, the Brit star, 42, appreciates the obvious parallels between herself and Myrtle Gordon, the drunken Broadway legend she's bringing to life in her new stage show.
