Frances Ruffelle is currently bringing her solo show, Paris Original, to St. James Studio continuing through October 3, 2014, and one of her special guests is her own daughter, Eliza Doolittle. In the video, watch as the duo sings "Before I Open My Mouth" for Love a Child Foundation!

Frances Ruffelle will perform Paris Original, a sell out at the Crazy Coqs in 2013, before taking the show to New York. Most well-known for developing the iconic role of Eponine in LES MISERABLES, Frances will be treating audiences to a previously unheard song which was cut from the show; Schönberg's original song for Eponine.

Starring in the original London & Broadway productions of LES MISERABLES earned Frances a Tony Award, Theatre World Award, Outer Critics Circle Award and the Helen Hayes Award. She is also known for her many West End musical appearances, including Chicago, Starlight Express and Children Of Eden. She recently received a UK theatre award nomination for Best Actress for her performance as Edith Piaf in Pam Gem's play Piaf at Curve, Leicester.
