Hugh Sheridan - Newley Discovered

Alone on stage, apart from a trio of musicians, young Adelaide actor Hugh Sheridan brings Newley to life, from his rather miserable East End childhood to his high life in the States. Sheridan even manages a convincing East End patois as he slips easily from dialogue to song throughout the show.

Hugh Sheridan doing Anthony Newley doing Sammy David Junior is a real highlight; so is the silence of the audience as Sheridan’s eyes fill with tears at one of the show’s emotional turning points.
