Frances Ruffelle to Perform Beneath the Dress at Menier Chocolate Factory

Tony Award winner Frances Ruffelle will offer a one-night-only performance of her solo show Frances Ruffelle: Beneath the Dress at the Menier Chocolate Factory on February 12.

In the show, seen at the Edinburgh Fringe and for a single performance at the West End’s Garrick Theatre in 2010, the singer, accompanied by a six-piece band, will perform songs by Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and Kurt Weill, along with numbers by lesser-known songwriters whose work has inspired her.

Ruffelle won a Tony Award for her performance as Eponine in Les Miserables, a role that she originated in the U.K. She is currently appearing in Pippin at the Menier. Her other stage credits include Chicago, Children of Eden, and Starlight Express, among others. In concert, she has performed with Jason Robert Brown and played London’s Ronnie Scott’s with her Big Band. Her studio albums include God Watch Over You, Lonely Symphony, Fragile, and Imperfectly Me.
