Kerry Ellis to star in Murder Ballad at the Arts Theatre

It has been announced that Kerry Ellis will star in the West End premiere of Murder Ballad, a musical by Julia Jordan and Juliana Nash which will run at the Arts Theatre from 29 September to 29 October 2016.

Produced by Soundcheck Group the musical originally ran at the Manhattan Theatre Club off-Broadway before transferring to the Union Square Theatre in 2013.

"Sara, Tom and Michael are three New Yorkers caught in a secret love triangle that could tear their lives apart. Life has not dealt any of them the cards they wanted, and Sara is stuck in the middle, torn between her downtown past and her uptown future. Is the one that got away really worth risking everything for?"

Featuring book and lyrics by Julia Jordan, music and lyrics by Juliana Nash, the production describes itself as a "razor-sharp tale of modern relationships, abandoned dreams and treachery in the big city."

Kerry Ellis returns to the West End following a run in the revival of Cats at the London Palladium. You can read our interview with her by clicking here Tickets for the production are now on sale.
