Funny Girl

Sadly yes, wasn't that impressed, she was OK as I stated when I commented after seeing it at the Menier. Sure as hell wouldn't put myself through a Sheridan show again anytime soon. 

As is your choice.  It's mine to want to see her because I thought she was terrific at the Menier, saw her 3 times there and admired her performance greatly.

You ain't looking hard enough - check the Funny Girl /Savoy twitter feed.

@savoytheatreldn how disappointing she has let everyone down again. What is your returns policy please?

@sarahbootsy333 @mrlukecooper @savoytheatreldn People spent hard earned money to see Sheridan- this is very disrespectful of her

@savoytheatreldn So unprofessional! You owe refunds to those who booked specially to see Sheriden Smith.

None of those people are tweeting her directly though. If she goes out looking for nasty tweets then what does she expect? 

I said from typing in her name on Twitter and that's true if you type in her name, the vast, vast majority of the tweets are nice.

Te he he

If I get ill and miss three days of posting on here, I hope people won't be as upset as they seem to be with this.

I'd be furious and at the very least expect Lynette to take over your posting until you recovered.

Is... is *everyone* discounting the possibility that Sheridan Smith is unwell right now? She may not be doing herself any favours with her social media presence, and the timing is clearly suspicious to many, but people do get ill. Sometimes they are too physically unwell to do their job, sometimes they are too mentally unwell to do their job, and these are both entirely valid reasons why someone may not be able to do their job, but ranting on at the internet about how she's classless and over-sensitive and needs to do *this* and needs to do *that* isn't going to magically make anyone better. I hope she's getting whatever help she may need to get back up to full strength as quickly as possible, and that the more vocal dissenters never find themselves in a position where strangers on the internet are going to feel entitled to tear them to shreds over something they may or may not be able to help.

I'm surprised you aren't more careful about describing people as 'horrible', given your experiences.

Some people are sceptical, some are unsympathetic, some are critical, but I think I missed any who said, "I hate Sheridan, she deserves really nasty things and I hope she's suffering a lot".

Isn't it slightly arrogant to assume you have unique insight when it comes to having had bad things happen to you? Maybe some of us don't use such as crutches to our arguments?

Edit: and I think quite a few people who didn't believe the "technical difficulties" story have acknowledged she could be genuinely ill at present

(if true, let's hope she recovers soon)

This thread is seriously getting nasty, so I'm ducking out before I bite back. When/if there's Sheridan *news* rather than speculation and rumour, I'll be back.

I think pretty much everyone will have had people they love taken from them by cancer at some point.
I had my grandfather, who was like my father, who I lived with since birth die a horrible death with a very awful form of lung cancer which went to his brain. I was 16, had to do all of my GCSE's and had to not let down my stage school and perform for them in comps and shows. Other's I'm sure have had to hold down jobs that keeps a roof over their heads, puts the food on the table. Have to do their every day life and every day job.

I was also bullied, I don't think that is what this is at all and I don't think anyone on here has said anything horrible actually. I think most here feel she needs help in one way or another, however she is making the situation much worse for herself by looking at twitter and replying in the way she has. Every celeb receives these sort of messages every day, they just don't all act like this.

ETA, I doubt it is the same virus as you, mostly because the press picking up on something cannot be blamed for the fact she cannot perform, which she has already said.
