Ruthie Henshall

Audiences will finally have a chance to enjoy Ruthie Henshall’s new intimate show In My Life next year.

In My Life premiered at the Sydney Opera House in June 2019 and went on to tour Australia playing to packed houses and a slew of five-star, rave reviews. The show comes to The Lowry as part of a tour of England and Ireland.

This new intimate show is a rare opportunity to see this dazzling star up close and personal, reinterpreting highlights from her acclaimed career as well as exploring the work of other iconic artists from Stephen Sondheim and Carole King to Victoria Wood and The Beatles.

Ruthie Henshall said, “I am thrilled to be doing this tour and having not performed for a while, I will have even more to give! It’s a very personal show that Is about life, loves and shows and it’s got a whole lot of heart. There’ll be stories to tell, songs to sing, I cannot wait to share this show with you and be back in a theatre.”
