Sheridan Smith starts work on Bridget Jones Musical in January

As previously mentioned, West End star and award winning actress  Sheridan Smith has just been voted as Best Actress at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards.

At the ceremony in London on Sunday night she was talking about the new Bridget Jones Musical and said: “Lily Allen’s written some of the songs already which I am really excited about. It’s progressing nicely and we’ve got a cast meeting in January when more will be done, and Lily will be teaching me how to sing the songs.”

She added: “Although Lily’s lovely, I am nervous that I won’t be able to do justice to her song-writing.” I'm sure she need not worry on that score as everything she touches seems to turn to gold at the moment!
