Ruthie Henshall
Ruthie Henshall was born on March 7 in Bromlay, England, UK. She has been dancing for most of her life and has appeared in such shows as "Cats" and "A Chorus Line." Her debut album, "Love is Here to Stay, " is a tribute to the Gershwins' music. This multi-talented stage star can sing from a low belt to a high soprano. She is also an excellent actress who effortlessly moves audiences to tears. She has played Ellen in "Miss Saigon," Fantine in "Les Miserables," Nancy in "Oliver!", and both Velma and Roxie in "Chicago." She and Michael Ball recently revived the Theatregoer's Club of Great Britain Award for Most Popular Musical Stage Actor and Actress. She made her debut on Broadway in "Chicago" after performing in that same musical in London's West End.
