'Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder!' to transfer to the West End

Bronté Barbé (Newsies) and Rebekah Hinds (Oklahoma!) will reprise their roles as Kathy and Stella. The show will open at the Ambassadors Theatre in May.

Murder mystery musical Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! will transfer to the West End this May. The show will run for a strictly limited season at the Ambassadors Theatre.

Bronté Barbé (Newsies) and Rebekah Hinds (Oklahoma!) will reprise their roles as Kathy and Stella alongside Imelda Warren-Green (Doctor Who: Time Fracture) who will return as Erica.

The musical has book and lyrics by Jon Brittain (Rotterdam), who also co-directs, and music and lyrics by Matthew Floyd Jones. They previously collaborated on the Fringe First award-winning A Super Happy Story (About Feeling Super Sad). Olivier nominee Fabian Aloise (Sunset Boulevard) will co-direct and choreograph the production.

Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! follows best friends Kathy and Stella, who host Hull's least successful true crime podcast. When their favourite author is killed, they are thrust into a thrilling whodunnit of their own.

Further casting is to be announced.

Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! will run at the Ambassadors Theatre from 25 May – 14 September.
