Sheridan Smith is so over-rated as a musical theatre actress. Let's hope she can sing this score better than she could the Legally Blonde score.
I couldn't disagree more. I saw both Broadway and West End productions of Legally Blonde and Sheridan's performance was far superior. She was sublime. Her performance and the tightened direction helped realize the show's true potential. I can see how she might have been considered vocally weak by listening to the CD, but seeing her live was an entirely different experience. And her work on the Cilla mini-series proved that her vocal chops have improved greatly.

Could someone please post a song list from this production? I'd love to hear views on the new orchestrations, size of the orchestra being used and if the overture is still intact??? Seeing it on 11th April!
