Sheridan has performed to critical acclaim in many West End musicals including Little Shop of Horrors, Legally Blonde, Funny Girl and Flare Plath. In 2023, She played the title role in the West End production of Shirley Valentine and returned to the stage in the production of Opening Night in 2024.

She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2015 New Year Honours for services to drama.

An excellent choice to host awards ceremonies, Sheridan can captivate audiences with a song from one of her many much-loved roles, before delivering a warm and highly entertaining tailored introduction ahead of the awards presentation.

Accolades & Praise

Sheridan stepped in on the day to host our annual awards ceremony. Despite it being incredibly short notice, with our briefing call only taking place on the afternoon of the evening event, Sheridan’s performance was seamless. If the original host hadn’t been pre-announced, our audience would never have known how little time she had to prepare. She wowed our guests with an opening song from Cilla, delivered an enthusiastic and genuine welcome speech and made every one of our winners feel special as she announced and presented each award with as much energy and attention as the one that went before. Sheridan was truly a joy to work with and her appearance made our dinner an event for all to remember.
