Lily Allen appeared to be pleased with her West End debut this week as she was spotted after appearing in 2:22 A Ghost Story.
The singer, 36, is appearing in the play at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, with the first performance taking place on Tuesday.
Lily was seen leaving after her performance in an all black outfit finished with chunky boots as she cradled a programme for the show in her arms.
She smiled for waiting fans and photographers after the nerve-wracking first night was over and later shared fan footage of her signing autographs and taking selfies with fans that had turned up especially to see her at the stage door.
Lily also took to Twitter after the triumphant opening night of 2:22 A Ghost Story, writing: ‘ok i’m going to bed now. so so tired, but that was so thrilling.
‘I’m so happy to be working on this wonderful play with such lovely people and in such a prestigious beautiful theater.

Lily stars in the new play by Danny Robins alongside EastEnders actor Jake Wood, 48, City Of Angels star Hadley Fraser, 41, and Julia Chan, 38, of Silent House.
The Smile singer plays Jenny, a woman who believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam (Hadley Fraser) remains unsure.

They invite friends Lauren (Julia Chan) and her partner Ben (Jake Wood) to dinner which sparks an argument, leading them all to decide to stay up until 2.22am to find out whether the home truly is haunted.
She previously told PA of the project: ‘I am so excited about getting to work on this play. The live performance aspect of my career has always been the most thrilling part for me, connecting with a group of individuals and the spontaneity of whatever happens on the night.

‘I feel that stepping into this play is an exciting natural extension of that and affords me the best of all worlds.
‘I get to explore mature subject matter, be a woman with a real point of view and show the West End audiences how much I love live performance and being in front of an audience. I can’t wait.’
