Posted: 4/7/10 at 5:47pmDAMN! If she would only extend into July, I'd definitely revisit the show to see her. Luckily, I did get to see the OBC in previews, which remains one of my favorite NYC musical theatre experiences.

I am obsessed with her Roxie on the London revival recording and I often put on Putting it Together or the Les Miz concert just for her. I adore her and am thrilled I will be able to see her on stage. This'll be my 5th trip to Chicago but Henshall makes this return a must. Also happy to see White and that Gossip Girl guy doesn't look so hard on the eyes.

Posted: 4/7/10 at 5:58pmI've heard rumors about this for a couple weeks now, and I am SO happy to find out it's true!! I love Ruthie, but haven't been able to see her in an actual show. Can't wait.

Posted: 4/7/10 at 6:03pmIs this Gossip Girl guy popular? Am I going to be with screaming tweens with no clue who Ms. Henshall is?

Posted: 4/7/10 at 6:13pmBetween her and Terri White, I will DEFINITELY be going back. The best version I have ever heard of "I Am My Own Best Friend" was the duet between Ruthie and Karen Ziemba at the Chicago 10 Year Anniversary Benefit.

Mildred-You should be fine. The Gossip Girl guy plays the dad, and I don't think the tween fans of GG will be rushing to see him...i think.
...I have so much knowledge of Gossip Girl that it's embarrassing...

Ah ok, lol, ty fan. I was looking at his pic and thought he was a tad too old to play a teenager, lol. I've actually seen the show a couple times and it's fluffy fun. Even though it made me an anorexic whore.

I love her on the CD. The London revival is my favorite Chicago cast recording, mostly because of Ruthie.

Posted: 4/7/10 at 8:00pmI personally like her Velma more than her Roxie, but she still kicks serious ass.

I am happy they're putting a legit, trained dancer in for Roxie after 2 D-list Roxies.
#16Ruthie Henshall in Chicago on Broadway Starting April 26th
Posted: 4/7/10 at 8:17pmIn for Roxie. Not in Roxie. That's weird.

Posted: 4/7/10 at 8:24pmOMG, impressive typo Mildred. Fixed.

I mean... is the guy who plays Fred Casely not usually a trained dancer?
Bad joke; I apologize. :-P

Posted: 4/7/10 at 8:34pmLol, good one!
#20Ruthie Henshall in Chicago on Broadway Starting April 26th
Posted: 4/7/10 at 8:35pmDon't expect Ruthie's dancing to be like 12 yrs ago cuz she isn't! But her intepretations and singing of the role was soooo worth it!

Well, Bianca is just before her and I'm sure she can dance better than Ruthie.

Sorry I left Bianca out. I just saw her in Seattle. She's a fabulous dancer too.
#23Ruthie Henshall in Chicago on Broadway Starting April 26th
Posted: 4/8/10 at 12:43amThis is too awesome! I saw Henshall as Velma years back while it was still at the Shubert and she she was sensational. I may have to venture back to see her as Roxie.

Just to shamelessly plug in my drawing of her on-going run as Roxie in London:
You guys enjoy her Roxie! She's the best :)
