Trailer for Opening Night play starring Sheridan Smith
SHERIDAN Smith's new West End play Opening Night continues to be hit by more bad luck as rows of seats have been left unsold.Sheridan, seen here with creator Ivo Van Hove, has won praise from fans for her performance but the production has been savaged, upcoming Saturday night dates for the musical -usually the most in-demand night of the week in theatre land - still show plenty of availability.
The matinee on Saturday May 4, for example, shows that two full rows in the stalls have yet to sell a single seat.There are also more than 20 of the cheapest seats in the house still up for grabs at £60 a pop.That same day's evening performances also currently has four rows in the stalls that are currently, at the time of writing, fully unsold.
Of the parallels between her former self and her character Myrtle, she said: “I am playing an actress but at least I can add a bit of my emotion to it, some true emotion.Audiences not impressedOne theatregoer said: "The entire row in front of me left during the interval. I wanted to, but I'm glad I didn't, as I would have missed the part of the show where Sheridan fights with a ghost while dubstep music is played.
"More people in the audience, sat quite near the front, got up and left in a huff during this moment too - while Sheridan was actually onstage."said: "As the curtain fell, the poor ladies in front of me muttering, 'I don't understand - what just happened?' echoed the bewildered slump of an audience who sat through Rufus Wainwright's tuneless tunes, endless pointless and intrusive camerawork , some atrocious acting and frustratingly bad staging.
Seat filling service, ShowFilmFirst, are now touting tickets for as little as £25, while the London Theatre Direct website are flogging front row seats for just £110 .The site also claims that they can get tickets from just £25 and that audience members could save £76 per ticket.
