  • Its not stunning, i dont think its as bad as its been made out to be. Tho, i Saw Chicago in London and was actually quite disappointed in the choreography, felt it was a bit...i dno more comic and less "dance". wats good tho. x

  • Was the whole production like that or just Ruthie? I'm curious if this was an artistic direction in the London production or not.

  • She may be good as Roxie...But she's terribe as Velma. They've cut half the choreography and her kicks are attrocious. If I were to see her as Velma I'd be VERY disappointed.

  • It seems that much of the more impressive kicks have been blocked by the person sitting on the right in front of the taper.

  • Anyone who doubts Ruthie Henshall's dancing abilities needs to watch her dance "Bang" in the Sondheim revue Putting it Together.

  • The point is that velma thinks these better than she actually is ,so the coreography isn't supposed to be as if she were a dancer.

    Ruthie is still amazing no matter.

  • I think she's wonderful. Although she's not the best dancer ever, I don't think it distracts. In fact, I think it kind of adds to her version of the character, which is sort of a dorkier velma.

  • @pete422188 I saw her chew the scenery on Putting It Together...and she is not a great dancer by a long shot.

  • This is actual original Bob Fosse choreography.

    It's jazz style, not "So You Think You Can Dance"-coolest-tricks-ever-mov­ie-version amazing.

  • Ruthie is an amazing woman! totally love her in this! She is so talented!

  • Wasn't Ruthie pregnant here?

  • WOW! Great job ruthie. do you have more from this-ruthie as velma?

  • VELMA IS GREAT! GREAT ACTING! something diffrent then always!

  • So interesting seeing her playing Velma. Saw her play Roxie last night, and have seen many Velma's over the years...Very good! Definately playing a very different character!

  • yes she can. she's doing the exact choreography!
