    SHERIDAN Smith’s latest theatre was slammed by critics and sent audience members to sleep.The award-winning actress is starring in the musical of 1977 film Opening Night, where she plays functioning alcoholic actress Myrtle Gordon.Sheridan Smith’s new theatre venture left audience members confusedOne critic claimed that people were sleeping in the audienceDespite her incredible reputation in the industry, one theatre buff compared the performance to a “multi-lane pile up”.It was also branded “tragic” and a “waste of audiences’ time and money”. Stefan Kyriazis, the Arts Editor for Express said: “As the curtain fell, the poor ladies in front of me muttering, ‘I don’t understand – what just happened?’ echoed the bewildered slump of an audience who sat (some smartly snoozed) through Rufus Wainwright’s tuneless tunes, endless pointless and intrusive camerawork (enough, already), some atrocious acting and frustratingly bad staging.”According to another critic, “half the audience loved it, the other half hated it”. read more on sheridan smithDespite the rough reviews, Sheridan, who has been open about her own mental health battles over the years, was the show’s saving grace.

It has actually been really cathartic, just getting it all out.“It’s like I am back, doing it, you know? Taking ownership of it.In the past Sheridan said her anxiety and feelings of insecurity increased the more successful she became, winning rave reviews for her performances on stage and in TV dramas including Cilla and The C Word.During her career she has received BAFTA and Olivier awards, but despite the glory she hid her mental health issues.READ MORE SUN STORIESShe said: “All I could imagine was people thinking, ‘You should be grateful.
