Celebrate International Women’s Day with these leading ladies taking centre stage in London this spring.
Who better to start with than the incomparable Sheridan Smith OBE, as she makes her return to musical theatre in the world premiere of ‘Opening Night’. There seems to be no end to Smith’s talents with her ability to play a wide variety of characters, from her early days in the Royle Family to her depiction of ‘Cilla’ to the more recent ‘Shirley Valentine’. ‘Opening Night’ follows a theatre company's preparations to stage a major new play on Broadway. But drama ignites behind the scenes when their leading lady played by Smith is rocked by tragedy, and her personal turmoil forces everybody to deliver the performance of their lives. Get your tickets now for this strictly limited run at London's Gielgud Theatre.
