The performance of Ruthie Henshall in the actual play was of course brilliant, but in making any comparison between it and Susan Boyle's rendition you have to remember that Ruthie had a silent audience while Susan had to make her performance heard over the ecstatic screaming of the Britain's Got Talent audience, and had to stay in character and ignore the thrill she must have felt at that response all through the rest of her performance: absolutely amazing, mind blowing. Any of you think you could have accomplished that?
