She was much the same when she was Nancy, if I recall :D I still have the playbill/programme for that :D

Thinking about it Oliver, you're right. She has been a huge asset for all the productions she has been in!

Ruthie Henshall appeared on Channel Four's Daily Brunch last Tuesday. It is a morning chat show where the chatting takes place while the hosts and guest prepare a dish - in Ruthie's case, crab cakes:

She has some remarkably kind comments to make about her fellow cast mates.

West End star Ruthie Henshall participates in St Joseph's Preparatory School's Aerobathon with her daughter and the schools' Dr Martin Hine to raise money for a school in Kenya.

Henshall didn’t sing along, saving her voice for next Friday’s Head West gala charity fundraising concert, also in aid of the Osiligi Obaya School project. Performing in the college’s chapel, she will team up with Mike and the Mechanics frontman Tim Howar to perform personally selected favourites from their West End and Broadway careers. “Tim and I have welcomed the chance to show our support for the partnership between St Joseph’s and the Osiligi Obaya School in Kenya by singing in the concert,” said Ruthie.

I found this on a ticketing website:
Ruthie Henshall is scheduled to play the role of Mrs Wilkinson from 21 May 2014 until 28 March 2015.

Does anyone know if her contract been extended? Or is this bit of info simply inaccurate?

I'd say it's inaccurate. Further down it says she's contracted to 16th May 2015 which is the same as the official website.

This exchange on twitter suggests that she may be staying for longer.
