Ruthie is to star in Marguerite, a new musical by Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schoenberg, Michel Legrand and Herbert Kretzmer, which runs at the the Theatre Royal, Haymarket from 20 May - 1 November 2008, with previews from 7 May.
Inspired by the 1848 Alexandre Dumas fils novel, La dame aux camélias (also the source for Verdi's 1853 opera La Traviata and the classic 1936 Garbo movie, Camille), it's a love story set in Paris during the Second World War. Marguerite is the beautiful and notorious mistress of a high-ranking German officer. Armand is a young musician half her age who falls obsessively in love with her. Their dangerous love story is played out against the background of occupied Paris.
