Actress Sheridan, 42, who plays a Broadway legend Myrtle Gordon who struggles with alcoholism, stumbles on the streets outside the theatre during her performance.
She has begun a 21-week sting in the new musical Opening Night at the Gielgud Theatre – based on the namesake 1977 film about the actress who is left traumatised by the death of a teenage fan.
The moment is filmed live every night outside the London theatre, for all passersby to see and the audience witnesses the action live via a video transmitted into the theatre.
Sheridan – who exclusively told MailOnline she took on the role to ‘take control’ of her own demons – can be seen outside the theatre as Myrtle, turning up late to the first night of the show after taking a drop too much.
The actress described being offered the role as ‘a gift’ because she can use it to finally extinguish past traumas which threatened to derail her career.
She said: ‘It feels like a moment of taking back control. I feel like the part is a gift, it’s a gift of a part for any actress to play and I’m loving every minute of it, it’s such an honour. I can’t wait for people to see it now.’
The Care favourite is on great form as she speaks enthusiastically about her return to theatre – after getting raving reviews for her most recent role in The Castaways.
Her dressing room, which she calls her ‘shrine’, is littered with pictures of her three-year-old son Billy and it’s where she recuperates after performing her main drunk scene, which she’ll improvise each night, that is so physically demanding she joked about needing to use shin pads.

She added: ‘When I went home on Sunday I have to say, I woke up and I was aching everywhere and I was like my goodness, I’m getting older.’
In MailOnline’s exclusive footage earlier last week, Sheridan puffs on a cigarette and drunkenly falls to her knees during a scene that sees the rest of the cast discover her character Myrtle in an intoxicated state.
But Sheridan says she loves the unpredictability of improvising, saying: ‘It’s fun and I love all of that, that’s the excitement and why I want to be an actress. I have never done anything quite like this before. That moment will be live every night so anything could happen.’
‘But that’s the whole point of working with Ivo van Hove, our director, he wants it all naturalistic and to be very real so if people are passing through that scene, every night, he wants that so, we will be doing it live eight times a week in Soho… but it’s so exciting.’
