Sheridan Smith Quits Bridget Jones The Musical?

At the moment I would like to point out that nothing has been confirmed but apparently Sheridan Smith has pulled out of the new musical adaptation of Bridget Jones. The show was meant to be opening at the Savoy Theatre (the same venue where Sheridan played Elle Woods in Legally Blonde) towards the end of this year. However, the show has been pushed back until next year. According to the Daily Mail Sheridan left is because of her film and TV work.

Sheridan took part in all the workshops for the new musical while it was in development.


Fellow actress, Alice Fearn, who also participated in these workshops has tweeted to show how surprised she is:
'Have to say I'm shocked if true!! She was HILARIOUS at it, But if Hollywood beckons... #BridgetJonesthemusical'
'What's going on there...?! Bit of a blow for them I'm sure'

 Who could replace her? Alice Fearn? Louise Dearman? Natalie Casey?

    Interesting. I think Louise would be wonderful, I am a little biased though as I never got to see her in wicked and would just love to hear her sing! I won't believe this until she says in herself though, she doesn't seem the type to turn down such an amazing role or let people down at such a critical time...
