Now as regulars in here will know I'm a big Sheridan fan but I think the O2 will be a hard sell for her even if the close the gods up for the night. Hope I'm proved wrong though. I guess if it's a one off people will come from all over the country to see her rather than their locaL venue which happened during her tour last year. I will probably give it a miss as I hate the place and you always end up watching someone perform on a large screen.

It is a one off gig - I'd imagine she performed to a similar number across her recent UK tour and a lot of people obviously saw her in the West End but to get them all out on one night could be an ask. But she can pull in a good number, it doesn't have to be a sell out - lots of big name gigs there aren't. She can easily get well into 5 figures and anything over 12k justifies going there and not Wembley Arena.

I think she could sell it fairly well. Her tour was close to, if not a full sell out, so if the same numbers get moving to The O2, it will likely do well.

I genuinely wasn't sure she had the fan base (where's george22 when you need him) I'm also not entirely sure of how such performers translate to the aircraft hangars of this world

Just saw on Facebook that she is doing the musical cruise Oct 2019 along with Alfie Boe.

So her tickets went on sale today, and I won't be surprised to see some discounts come eventually as tickets are priced between £53.75 - £87.50.
Notably too, the top level isn't on sale at all. So they are only selling the Floor and First Tier levels are on sale for this show.

At this very moment, I'm reading the Doncaster Free Press whilst drinking rhubarb cider and listening to a Doncaster Ukulele Orchestra jam session. Life in the grim north is so exciting!!! (And it's not free, it costs £1.25.)
There is a story about an upcoming documentary on ITV - Sheridan Smith: Coming Home, in which "the Cilla star returns to her roots to confront personal troubles and face up to her past, as well as the loss of her father."
"Smith performs a one-off homecoming performance at a local club in the programme, which is set to shine a light on the personal life of the versatile star of the screen and stage."
"Coming Home is coming soon to ITV."

Ooo I certainly like the idea of a Sheridan documentary, considering she had such a fast rise to fame, then with all of the personal stuff etc, as well as her doing music, TV, film and stage work. It's also great promo for her new album! Her last release was a follow up to her ITV concert show, so if they line it up with her new album release again, it could well get her album into the Top 20 come release once again.

Sounds hideous. Keep your personal troubles and the death of your father to yourself Sheridan. Really.

They’re HER personal problems, and whether she wants to keep them to herself, or tell the whole world, is up to HER. No one will be forcing you to watch it.

Thanks for the advice, it’s equally up to ME if I want to comment on it. You can be 100% sure I won’t be watching.

The TV schedules are out, and Sheridan's hour long special will be on ITV on Sunday night at 9.30. Our BurlyBeaR will be spending the night making some of his celebrated Yorkshire Parkin, all ready for Bonfire Night. Like Burly, this type of programme isn't really my thing, but I'm tempted to watch just to see if I recognise any bits of Doncaster.

She's got Arena dates to sell, probably shift a few albums on the back of it too, an hours worth of free publicity ain't for nothing! I like her - a lot - and I really enjoyed her Who Do You Think You Are some years ago. Her brother died young, she was devoted to her Dad, I think there's an interesting story to be told. I thought she was wonderful in Funny Girl (which I saw numerous times at the Menier and Savoy). Loved her performance in The C Word (and the family of Lisa Lynch speak highly of her). I'll be watching (actually, taping, as I'm at the Tower of London for their new "light installation").

I like her.. but just on stage and on the tv. And not when she’s ‘oversharing’ either on Twitter or on tv documentaries. Especially if there’s a cynical background ploy to flog tickets for her shows by discussing the trauma of her fathers death. If indeed that’s what this is about.

Enjoying the new album, it's fun, very laid back listen which is great. It's sound and vibe is very much Sheridan which is what you want from a Sheridan album. The girl loves a guitar and piano doesn't she! Nothing too groundbreaking here, but a great follow up.

Hallowe'en may have been and gone, but fans of Michael Ball and Sheridan Smith are in for a right treat tonight. He's co-presenting The One Show, and she's the guest.
Thankfully, Alfie Boe isn't the other co-presenter, so I shall be switching straight over to BBC 1 after It Takes Two has finished!

She talked candidly about missing Funny Girl and having to miss shows because of her Dad and how she understand how people were upset about it.

Couldn't take my eyes of that massive tattoo on the back of her left hand.

She wore a sleeve on the FG tour to cover it.

It's a really emotional read. Having been a huge Sheridan fan for a long time, it just bought of those feelings back from when she did fall apart.

Sheridan looks set for another Top 20 album! A Northern Soul is currently at #13 in the midweek charts. So happy for her!

This was a great documentary and Sheridan seems to be in a great place now no doubt helped in a big way by her fiance who seemed very down to earth and they looked very much in love. That woman never seems to be not working if you think of the recent tour the new ITV series coming out in Jan and a BBC series with Alison Steadman, the Jo Brand film, plus the new album and upcoming concert. And I've lost count of how many dogs she now has. Must be in double figures now. As she said herself "mad dog lady"

She let the dog lick all over her fingers and then dove straight back into her chips. Lovely.
Did love seeing her up there doing her thing and being her natural lovely self though, really hope her and her fiancé last. This was definitely better than last year’s special.

I must be the odd one out as I thought it was awful. I love Sheridan as an actress but not really as a singer. But hey we all have opinions.

That being said, I thought her voice sounded good with the songs she was singing from her album. Probably because they weren't big, belty MT numbers. I found the documentary a bit odd - it felt like they couldn't decide whether it was a 'fly on the wall' thing about Sheridan's life or an album promo, so it ended up as a mash-up of both.
