Book
The showgirl and the prince
On the shelf? Just pop in.
From much-loved West End and Broadway star Ruthie Henshall, 'The Showgirl and the Prince' is a funny, honest and touching real-life Cinderella story - if Cinders is a lycra-clad chorus girl from Bromley who drinks and smokes too much. In 1988, Ruthie was at the start of her career, a chorus girl in 'Cats' (third feline from the left). That was when she met Prince Edward, who was working for Andrew Lloyd Webber at the time. Edward is kind and thoughtful; Ruthie is warm, flirty and prone to telling risqué jokes. She's not like anyone he's dated before. In this charming and poignant memoir, Ruthie describes a seminal period in her life, navigating a secret relationship with Prince Edward while determinedly following her dream of landing a leading West End role.
