Following its phenomenal success earlier this year, An Intimate Evening with Ruthie Henshall is returning to visit new cities around the UK this Spring including the Epsom Playhouse on Tuesday 15 April. Offering audiences a unique opportunity to spend an evening with one of the world’s best-loved and most captivating performers, Ruthie and her band will take the audience on a musical journey through her extraordinary career, from working with Lionel Bart to playing in Chicago on Broadway, from starring in Les Misérables to receiving her Olivier award.

This is a chance to hear Ruthie’s story in her own words as well as some of the defining songs of her life, onstage and off. The evening draws from a broad range of genres, from the great American songbook through to contemporary tunes significant to Ruthie, to the present day.

Ruthie said: "I am absolutely thrilled to be touring with my one woman show again. I love working with my band and taking this piece, which means so much to me, across the country. We get to meet hundreds of new people out on tour and share our show with them. It is also hugely gratifying that this is the second year of my new production company and we are going from strength to strength - running your own business is a wonderful feeling."

Ruthie Henshall is an internationally acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning performer and long established star of West End and Broadway. Her TV appearances include Curb Your Enthusiasm, Law & Order, The Sound of Musicals and Doctor Who. She was also an original judge on ITV1’s Dancing on Ice before reprising the role of Roxy in Chicago in the West End.

Ruthie’s solo recordings include: Love Is Here To Stay, The Ruthie Henshall Album, Pilgrim and her new album I’ve Loved These Days. Last year also saw Ruthie release her first book, So You Want To Be In Musicals? offering an insider’s guide to a career in musical theatre, and packed with anecdotes from Ruthie’s own glittering career and a wealth of advice on how to succeed in the industry.
