BritishTheatre.com is saddened this afternoon to hear of the passing of British comedy and musical legend Victoria Wood.

Her publicist announced that Victoria had passed away after a short battle with cancer.

A comedian, actress, singer, songwriter, director and screenwriter, Wood made an enormous mark on the entertainment scene with shows like New Faces, Victoria Wood - As Seen On TV, Dinnerladies, and Housewife 49.

We'll publish more as it comes to hand.

In the meantime we'd like to remember the wonderful Victoria Wood.
