Holly Cruikshank height - How tall is Holly Cruikshank?

In 2002, while touring with Contact, Cruikshank and partner David Gomez auditioned together on a whim for the upcoming Movin' Out, and were selected for the original Broadway cast. Initially dancing the lead role of Brenda in matinee performances, Cruikshank took over lead billing for the role on Broadway in 2003 after Elizabeth Parkinson left the show, then continued it with the touring company from 2004–2007, again to rave reviews. The London Daily Telegraph, for example, wrote: "Holly Cruikshank as Brenda has the most impossibly long legs you are ever likely to see and does things with them that seem to defy the basic laws of human anatomy."

That led to a role in the Broadway run of Contact, understudying for Deborah Yates in the Tony-award-winning role of "The Girl in the Yellow Dress". When the Contact touring company formed in 2001, Cruikshank obtained the role and toured for a year, though frustrated in the early going as some show posters went out bearing Yates' image instead of Cruikshank's. Ultimately, Cruikshank earned rave reviews in the role; Playbill, for example, called her "a stunning dancing dynamo."
