An onlooker told The Sun she spent “ages” chatting and dancing with Andrew and Happy Valley actor James Norton and at one point fell back onto seating laughing.
The 42-year-old looked dazzling in a sparkling sheer gown even though her West End show Opening Night is to close early after poor reviews.
She had been nominated for the Best Actress Olivier Award for her role as Shirley Valentine but was pipped to the post by Sarah Snook, star of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
The partygoer told The Sun: “Sheridan stayed until around 1am in the morning and was having a great time dancing and chatting with Andrew and James. They were all together for ages.

“They were dancing a lot and Sheridan kept falling about laughing.
“At one point she fell back onto the seating laughing and was having a great time, which was nice to see, actually, given all the bad news she’s had recently about Opening Night flopping.”
The official party at the Natural History Museum was filled with the great and good of the theatre world.
Other stars in attendance included event host Hannah Waddingham, who changed into smart trousers and a shirt from her sparkled gown plus Beverley Knight and Mark Gatiss.
