Grief, loss, a very public cancellation and precarious mental health made 2021 one of the most difficult years of Hugh Sheridan's life.
A four-time Logie-winning actor, singer and dancer, Sheridan — who last year came out as non-binary — told ABC Radio Adelaide's Stacey Lee of the backlash they endured when they were cast in the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Taking on the title role of Hedwig, an East German boy who undergoes sex change surgery in order to marry an American soldier, was set to be a career high for Sheridan.
