Ruthie in Chicago....

Interesting review by Lee... If there's any show that'll get her back in shape, Chicago is the one. I wonder if she'd consider (or they'd consider) having her do it on Broadway next?

I was fortunate enough to see Ruthie play Velma in Boston when she was touring with the "Roxie Company" of CHICAGO here in the States. She was wonderful!

The article mentioned Ruthie not being "as slim" as per usual. I can't imagine Ruthie as heavy (she doesn't have the body type) - even after having a child. She's petite to begin with. I suppose they are referring perhaps to the usual "stick" look that a lot of dancers have to maintain, huh? Has anyone seen a recent picture?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE'S FRIGGIN' HOT!!!!!

VA VA VOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

(Sorry about that. 'Scuse the drool, please.)

HI CJR, BABE! How are you??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there talk a few years ago about the hit London revival of My Fair Lady coming to Broadway with Ruthie and Johnathan Pryce??? I was SOOO looking forward to that, since Ruthie would be phenominal.

first of all Ruthie Looks frickin gorgeous and so damn hot in that pic! Woo she's back after baby and all!

second of all, The8re Fan2, Ruthie was rumored to play Eliza in My Fair Lady like 2-3 years ago, but they already went ahead and cast the show, and she wasn't considered. I thought that sucked butt, but what can you do??

Third, CJR, Ruthie's coming to bdway to play Roxie?? I know ofcourse she played Roxie in London where they made the most amazing recording of her "Funny Honey, and "Roxie" songs, but she's not playing Velma anymore???

And How many actresses besides Chita and Ruthie Henshall have actually played both Roxie AND Velma. This is why these 2 are of my favorite performers! lol

YAY NBC!!!!! Welcome!

I had a feeling it was only a matter of time lol

This is from an interview dated last week which is posted on ruthiehenshall.com, in the "interact" session. It sounds like Ruthie coming to Broadway is not a done deal yet...

Q. So, your plans for after Chicago ... has a run as Roxie on Broadway been confirmed yet?

A. No. They only work two months in advance, but it will happen when it's good for both them and for me. Tim will soon start Tonight's the Night and I would never go to Broadway without him. I would never take Lily away from him. It would be terible for her and it would be terrible for him - and terrible for me. I don't want to be separated from either of them. I don't believe absence makes the heart grow fonder, I never have believed in that. A couple of weeks is fine here and there, but when you have 3 months it's just miserable. It probably won't be for a year and we'll just see if anything comes here that I want to do. I have been spoilt rotten with the Crazy For Yous and Chicagos and I really want something to get my teeth into. Who knows what's coming up?!

Now I may have to try to find a cheap flight to London...

Ain't that the truth!

Me and a friend are at this moment trying to work out a bus trip to London to see her. Finances permitting.

Darn, hopefully there will be an opportunity here for both of them. I loved her in Putting it Together!
