Sheridan Smith's Opening Night comes to a close! Emotional actress puts on a brave face as she is greeted by fans at the stage door after ill-fated show has its final curtain call


An emotional Sheridan Smith put on a brace face as her ill-fated show Opening Night came to a close on Saturday.

Nick Curtis: 'This dismally muddled, self-important, furtively misogynist musical about an actress going to pieces squanders the talents of everyone involved, even breaking’s Sheridan Smith's unique ability to connect with an audience.' Stefan Kariazis: 'Not even a charismatic, soul-baring Sheridan Smith can save Ivo van Hove's abominable, misjudged musical adaptation of John Cassavetes' iconic, challenging 1977 film.' 'And Van Hove doesn’t help with his rough-and-ready mise en scène, which sets the action in a rudimentary back-stage environment, lined with dressing room mirrors at the rear, into which Myrtle sadly stares.'
