Opening Night (Gielgud Theatre)
Rating:
What an extraordinary theatrical mash-up Opening Night is. It's almost as if this studiously obtuse new musical which opened in the West End last night was designed to sabotage its fabulous leading lady, Sheridan Smith.
And yet, if you can't keep a good woman down, you've got no chance whatsoever against Smith's unstoppable charisma.
Based on a long-forgotten John Cassavetes film of the same title from 1977, in25years it's about a Broadway actress, Myrtle, having a nervous breakdown after witnessing the death of a young fan outside the theatre. Yet it's almost as if Ivo Van Hove's musical resurrection is seeking to give Smith a real-life nervous breakdown of her own - a dangerous game for a woman who has spoken of her own mental health nightmares after falling apart in the musical Funny Girl back in 2016.
