Tony-Winning Les Miserables Star Frances Ruffelle Returns to NYC with a Sultry Show at 54 Below

Frances Ruffelle won a Tony for warbling "On My Own" in Les Miserables, and 26 years later, Broadway's original Eponine still knows how to wow an audience. The West End and cabaret star returned to NYC to perform her blistering new show, "Beneath the Dress," at 54 Below, including songs from The Wild Party, Grand Hotel and the catalog of Edith Piaf. Broadway.com took a seat for this one-night-only event, then headed backstage to get snapshots of the still-gorgeous Ruffelle and a crowd that included lots of Les Miz alums.
