People forget that Ruthie is also a great actress. She plays this hard woman excellently. Remember, Velma was NOT a nice a woman. Hard as nails... Ruthie does one of the best in my opinion..
Without taking anything away from how wonderful Ruthie is, my favorite part of this video may be seeing the late, great Darlene Wilson dancing in the ensemble. The revival never saw a better Hunyak. Broadway lost her way too soon.
There is a male dancer on her immediate right (our left) ; he did this role for years, I believe, dark hair, longish, fantastic dancer. Anyone know who he is? Did he do any other roles? Thanks!
I had the impression she had never took singing classes, one can hear that as she sings . So, if she has said that in an interview , it does not surprise me.
She is one of the best musical theater performers ever. I love her!

I love Ruthie Henshall.
3:54 XD LMFAO I CANNOT BREATHE!!!
Love this
NOBODY can play both parts like her
She is amazing! I love her in both roles... but even if you don't, you have to admit, her Velma be FIERCE ;)
Theres something classic Hollywood about her performance

Wait my auntie sounds sooo young
I love to hear her sing. I just can't watch her
Jesus
Where are the sexy outfits? Why are these gorgeous dancers covered?
I think the vocal range for Velma is rather too low for Ruthie. I like her but her singing has an almost "yawning" sound to it.
I love her voice but it bugs me that she is practicaly singing through gritted teeth
I feel the same! Uncomfortable to watch.
Yes...and in that way she is better suited to the Velma role...hostile vibe non stop!
You took ENGLISH lessons then?
She's terrible and stiff no dimension.. Get Ann Renkin back!
Reinking didn't sing Velma
