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 2021 tour will play Leicester, Dublin, London and Salford Quays. Ticketholders will be contacted to confirm transfer of their tickets or to arrange a refund.

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, "When theatre opens again, I will literally dance in the street! It's so sad because when things are scary and sad, the theatre is always a pick-me-up and we have not been able to do that. The theatre opening again is something I can't wait for. It is my breath. To perform and to watch, it gives me something nothing else does. 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."
