Love Sheridan Smith

[Paigntonian]

as an actress but didn't know what a natural singer she was...

[burlyshirley]

Didn't you see her playing Cilla Black on TV a while ago ? She's a fabulous singer.

She gets her pipes from her mother, who was a semi-professional singer. She is as fabulous a singer as she is an actor. Her performance as the title role in Mrs Biggs was superb.

Me too, she was amazing as Cilla

Love Sheridan!
Great actress, great singer.

I think she's great, acting. Horrible voice though.

[pixie374]

Apologies... that was much better than her Cilla!

[elliemay1]

I also think she is great , very talented and likeable

[calmck]

She was great as The Narrator in Joseph with Jason Donovan as Pharoh

[Apc2604]

Never liked Cilla's grating voice. Sheridan does more justice to Cilla's songs!

[Netty7]

There’s no doubt she’s a fantastic singer and a great actress. Saw her in the West End a few years ago as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, absolutely fabulous.

[Maydup]

She's an extremely talented performer, she can dance too! Sadly Cilla was less of a singer, and she did her best not to over do it when playing her.

I saw her in Funny Girl too, blown away. So pleased she's back on track after some therapy and time out.

Her parents performed as The Daltons, a Country & Western duo. As a young child Sheridan would often join them on stage.

She was taught singing and dancing from age 4 and performed in amateur musical theatre at 7. Her professional debut was at 13 playing the orphan Annie at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield.

From age 14 she was a member of the National Youth Music Theatre where she performed in their West End production as Tallulah in Bugsy Malone and later as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
