We could not believe she could remember all those lines but if you watch this fabulous show you will genuinely believe that Sheridan Smith is talking from her heart - not acting. She is an amazing actress and delivers a superb rendition of Willy Russell’s fantastic script. Do not miss this fab show in the beautiful and intimate Duke of York Theatre as it is a total treat. As for Sheridan Smith - We all know she is a national treasure as one of our best actresses but she excels and in this role and will make you believe this was written with her in mind. Outstanding.

Saw the show on opening night with my daughter and we were blown away and captivated at the same time. An intimate and hilariously funny, absolutely brilliant performance from Sheridan Smith. Everyone was on their feet to give her a gloriously enthusiastic applause. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. We had great seats in the centre of row D and felt Sheridan was talking straight to us. She came right to the front of the stage to share her feelings with the audience, as if in confidence. Would highly recommend. Lots of men in the audience too who seemed to enjoy the show according to their cheers.
