Funny Girl

Saw this show again last night and it is utterly amazing! Such an amazing show! Seeing it a second time was really good as I could see all the different aspects of the show.

Sheridan looks like she's having a ball on the stage! So much enthusiasm and wit! Met her again at Stage Door and she is really lovely, so personable. Stage door really busy (probably be even busier tomorrow) so she had to rush abit but she still got a photo with me/us and was so friendly always saying "thank you". Such a lovely lady who goes to everyone even though she probably just wants to get home!

Was sat in Row K of dress circle. These were same price as the stalls (Row F) that we had last time. I preferred the stalls as you feel more connected to the show as that's where Sheridan also makes eye contact with. Row K of dress did feel a little far away but you could still see the facial expressions well. If it was nearer it could've been better for the same price HOWEVER only booked the seats last week as they suddenly came available so very lucky there!

I do really hope Sheridan does more theatre shows as she is truly phenomenal! Very good show overalll. Oh and the Savoy Theatre is magical, so beautiful - my favourite!

P.S regarding camping - there was quite a few people already camping on the Strand when we left the theatre after stage door!!

Well the last performance was everything I expected and more. Sheridan was superb and gave it everything. You could tell she was having the best time, with a few extra improv bits thrown in. Huge ovation when she first appears on the stage and extended applause at the end of every song. Massive reception for the rest of the cast too.
At the end there was a standing ovation for the cast right from the beginning which was wonderful to see and when Sheridan appeared the noise was deafening.
Flowers presented to the cast by the crew and also Sonia Friedman and David Babani.
The most wonderful gesture was right at the end when everyone left the stage and Sheridan then walked back on with Natasha to take the applause (Natasha had not been performing in the evening show)it really was lovely.
I didn't do the stage door but had a look and it was absolutely heaving so kept well away.
Really magical night.

Wish I could have been there for the final show! Looking forward to Cardiff and Bristol now!

Such sad news, I know they were close and he must have been so proud of her. Hopefully she's been able to spend a lot of time with him in the past few months.

An awful end to a very sad story; felt absolutely horrible for her that it was dragged out in public.

Such sad news. Today is full of highs and lows

Poor Sheridan, I hope the press leave her alone to grieve for as long as she wishes.

I was actually going to bring this thread back to page 1 for a different reason today - I noticed in the programme for Dreamgirls that in the part where it gives the history of the Savoy and lists the different productions and their stars, for Funny Girl it says "starring Sheridan Smith, Darius Campbell and Natasha J Barnes", which I thought was nice!

After everything she went through with the press when her dads diagnosis was first announced, it just makes it even worse that he loses his battle so close to Christmas.

Hope the press let her and her family grieve in private in this sad time.

I know what the loss of a Father feels like. It surprising what strength you find so hopefully she will be ok. Lets hope she is given time to grieve in peace.

I would presume after Christmas? 

Maybe they aren't annoucnung out of respect for Sheridan and her dad? Just a suggestion. 

Ive been wondering this too. With five weeks until the first show of the tour we've had no cast announced since Sheridan was doing some of the dates. I'm keen to know who'll be the other Fanny.
