Sheridan Smith injures her back at Legally Blonde matinee

Sheridan Smith who is playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde the Musical couldn’t carry on with this afternoon’s matinee at the Savoy Theatre as she put her back out in Act I but managed to struggle through to the interval.

Apparently medics are concerned that she’ll cause more damage if she carries on so it sounds as if she won’t be on again today. Hopefully a bit of rest and a good night's sleep will see an improvement and she might be back on tomorrow.
