Ruthie is accompanied by her musical director, Paul Schofield, on piano.
Ruthie Henshall said, “I’m so happy to be able to bring this show home after such a fantastic time in Australia earlier this year. It’s a show I’m very proud of and I can’t wait to share it with audiences in England and Ireland.”
