Sheridan Smith has made her triumphant return to the stage as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, and now an album sampler for the show has been released ahead of the record's official release this August.

Earning rave reviews for her performances, Smith helps tell the life story of Ziegfeld Follies star Fanny Brice, whose vocal and comedic talents saw her rise from a Brooklyn music hall singer to a Broadway star, whilst dealing with her emotional relationship with gambler Nicky Arnstein.
