At one performance — before Sheridan began pulling out of shows — fans said she appeared to have been drinking and was slurring her words.
The star, who has two Olivier awards, once called the part of Fanny her “dream role”. Her part was taken on by understudy Natasha J Barnes.
Next year’s tour of the musical starts in Manchester and visits Liverpool, Bristol and Cardiff.
