This is the moment diners, pub-goers and pedestrians were left stunned and wondering if they should help as a 'drunk' Sheridan Smith stumbled out of her own West End play and collapsed onto the street.
The shocking scenes, which were seen by confused revellers on their phones, are part of Smith's new musical in which the star, 42, plays drunken Broadway legend Myrtle Gordon.
Opening Night is based on John Cassavetes' 1977 film of the same name, and follows a theatre company's preparations to stage a new play, when their leading lady is rocked by tragedy.
At one point in the show, Sheridan's character Myrtle falls drunkenly in the street, while the rest of the cast gather around her.

In footage captured by MailOnline, Sheridan can be seen scrabbling on the ground outside the Central London theatre whilst crowds are held away from the scene.
Speaking exclusively to the MailOnline, one pedestrian named Mike said he had been stunned by the lack of response to Sheridan as he didn't know it was part of the performance.
'I can't believe this woman was just laying on the floor and nobody came to help her.'
His boyfriend Jamie added: 'You call that art? That's not art!'
