Kym Marsh to star in new play Single White Female
Former Coronation Street star Marsh said: 'I am so excited to be bringing this brilliant, brand new and thrilling play to theatres across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
'I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I'd be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage.
'Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels.'
Marsh, who first shot to fame in the band Hear'Say, went on to play a major role in Coronation Street from 2006 to 2019, before starring in Waterloo Road.
The new play updates the plot of the film, which was itself based on a novel called SWF Seeks Same by John Lutz.
'Full of dark humour and sharp and suspenseful storytelling, this new play updates the original story to the age of social media and all that it brings, in a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the desperate need for belonging in an isolated world,' producers said.
The play will open at Brighton's Theatre Royal on January 9, and will then tour the UK and Ireland until June 13.
Full casting is yet to be announced. Tickets are on sale now.

Corrie star Jonathan Howard's real relationship as on-screen romance heats up
Coronation Street viewers have seen newbie Carl (Jonathan Howard) cause quite a lot of chaos since his arrival in the ITV soap. He initially caused chaos for Abi Webster (Sally Carman) with his incessant flirting, unbothered by the fact that she is married to his brother, Kevin (Michael Le Vell). In fact, they've even gone as far as sleeping with her over the last two weeks. The two met up secretly at the Chariot Square Hotel, where Abi made a ghastly discovery – Carl was committing fraud from the comfort of the Websters' Autocentre. Despite everything, later in the day, the two locked lips once again. Away from the cobbles, actor Jonathan Howard is happily married – to none other than TV and Film star Elodie Yung. Jonathan himself is no stranger to the big screen, having appeared in Thor: The Dark World, World War Z and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. French-Cambodian actress Elodie got her big break in French TV drama La Vie Devant Nous, before going back to law school. However, at age 29 she moved to London to study acting. Her first Hollywood role came in the form of hit movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and she has since starred in some major TV series, such as Marvel's Daredevil and The Cleaning Lady. Her Daredevil character Elektra was skilled in martial arts – something that Elodie herself has a talent for, having achieved a black belt in Karate. Jonathan revealed that he and Elodie moved from LA to another state for her work, and that they enjoy living there together. 'My wife has been working on a TV show for the last few years in another state in America and we've been based there for the last couple of years. We enjoy our life there. 'My wife is French Cambodian and we never thought we'd be living in the States, but we like it out there. That's our life right now.' He recently spoke about moving back to the UK to take on the role of Carl, after living in America with Elodie and their daughter. 'I left the north of England 20 years ago, when I was 20. I went to do Dream Team in London then I went to drama school for three years. 'I left drama school and managed to work in America and moved to America and I've been in the States for the last 10 years with my wife and I have a daughter over there. 'The only hard thing is being away from them, but at the same time it's a real gift to be back in the north of England.' He went on to reveal that Carl wasn't the first Coronation Street role he'd auditioned for, explaining that he'd been in to read for Gary Windass prior to going to drama school. If he'd got the role, his whole life would have been completely different, he revealed. 'I was in the process of auditioning for drama school at the same time as I had a screen test for a new family, and that was the Windass family. Gary Windass was the character I was auditioning for. Obviously I didn't get it, I lost out to a great actor and he's done amazing things with that character. More Trending 'But in that moment, if I'd been offered Corrie I would have taken it and I wouldn't have taken my place at LAMDA, at drama school, and I wouldn't have done that training. 'So it was very disappointing at the time because, as a northern actor, Corrie is the main staple of an actor's diet. But to not get it meant that I went to drama school. You have to trust the universe and trust that things happen and it's all for the right reason. 'I got a great training at drama school, I left and got a good agent and therefore had opportunities that took me to America, met my wife – can't forget that! I wouldn't have met my wife if I hadn't have gone to drama school, so it worked out for the best.' View More » This article was originally published on 22nd April 2025.
