He took time to sign autographs and chat with fans outside the theater in the midst of his West End smash.

sheridan received a standing ovation from the packed house audience after his first performance in the role of the same name last Friday.

After the show, many also took to social media to praise the star and her ‘perfect’ performance.

Friday night’s opening performance was the first of a 15-week run for Sheridan in Willy Russell’s Shirley Valentine.

Shirley Valentine, which was also made into a 1989 film with Pauline Collins, is a women’s show that tells the story of a working-class housewife from Liverpool.

The play is the joyous and life-affirming story of the woman who lost herself in marriage and motherhood, the woman who ended up talking to the kitchen wall while cooking her husband’s hashbrowns and egg.

But Shirley still has a secret dream. And in her bag, a plane ticket. It is possible that one day she will simply leave a note that says: ‘she Gone! I went to Greece.

Shirley Valentine is written by Willy Russell, directed by Matthew Dunster, designed by Paul Wills, with lighting design by Lucy Carter, sound design by Ian Dickinson for Autograph, and produced by David Pugh.
