Kym Marsh to star in stage thriller at Bath's Theatre Royal
The former Coronation Street star will lead the cast of Single White Female during its UK tour, with the play running at Bath's Theatre Royal from May 19 to 23.
The play is a modern adaptation of the 1992 film, written by Rebecca Reid.
It tells the story of Allie, a recently divorced mother, who decides to advertise for a lodger to help make ends meet. The delightful Hedy offers her a lifeline, but as their lives intertwine, boundaries blur and a seemingly perfect arrangement begins to unravel.
Ms Marsh said: "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."
Tickets available soon via the Theatre Royal Bath website.

Red Roses star Kabeya revelling in fun-fuelled mentality at World Cup
By Milly McEvoy England rugby star Sadia Kabeya is ready to have fun as the Red Roses seek global glory on home soil. The 23-year-old is set to embark on a second major tournament with England, having burst onto the scene in 2021. The undeniable best team in the world, England have external expectations to lift silverware this summer but Kabeya's aims are different from that. 'For me, it is hard because I have always played for the enjoyment, and I think it is natural in any professional sport for you to have ups and downs,' she explained, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'But I just want to be able to play with so much fun, and that is how I want people to see me on the pitch. 'I don't have to play rugby because I want to be fast, I want to hit somebody, I want to play rugby because Sadia has so much fun, and I want to have that much fun. 'I think in professional sport you lose that, and I want to gain that back and be that for someone watching, that would be amazing.' Kabeya was a new face to the England team in New Zealand three years ago, when the Red Roses were beaten by the hosts in the final. Since then, she has established herself as one of the most reliable members of the back row, but with that comes more pressure. She added: 'The first time for me was a whirlwind. I was fresh into the squad, and it was a huge experience for me. 'I think this time it means that bit more, being at home and being a bit more cemented in the squad. To be able to hopefully represent my country at home would mean a lot. 'Three years ago was a baptism by fire. We played in record crowds at the time, and to play in that at 19 years old, the biggest stage for rugby, it taught me to deal with those crowds and with those big pressure moments. 'In a team like England, you are used to winning, but when you go to a big tournament, everything is different, everyone is on their A game, so I think what I have taken from those times is how to deal with those big pressure situations.' The Red Roses and the Lionesses are both in action this summer and both will be on free-to-air TV, with LG helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs. Life's Good for sport fans as LG's leading technology provides an unmatched immersive sporting atmosphere thanks to incredible OLED picture quality, Motion Pro technology for the smoothest action possible and unbelievable soundbar surround sound to bring the stadium feeling home. For Kabeya, it is an honour to share in a year like no other. 'I think it is amazing, we are in an era where women's sport is on the rise,' she said. 'No matter what you are doing, no matter what sport you are playing, you can always see progression. 'With the cricket and the football happening at the same time and in the same year, it is quite a pinch-me moment to be a part of it. I am really excited to get into and be a part of it.'

Linkin Park's Comeback Album Manages Its Own Comeback
Linkin Park shocked and delighted longtime fans all around the world last year by announcing that a new chapter was coming years after the death of Chester Bennington. Following a lengthy hiatus and a period of mourning, the Grammy-winning hard rock outfit reformed with new members, hoping to continue the legacy that Bennington helped start. Linkin Park shared multiple singles and dropped From Zero, its hugely-anticipated comeback set, which became a big win all around the world. The title spent months on various charts and then disappeared, but now it's back in a big way in the United Kingdom, where the outfit recently performed during its From Zero World Tour. From Zero Returns to Three Charts From Zero can be found on four charts in the U.K. at the moment. It was only present on one of them last week, and now it finds its way back to the Official Album Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Album Downloads tallies. Linkin Park reenters the general sales ranking at No. 85 and comes in one spot lower on the list of the top-selling physical titles. From Zero barely makes it onto the roster of the most downloaded sets in the country, breaking back in at No. 99 on the 100-position ranking. As From Zero mounts a comeback on a trio of tallies, it can also be found on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart. Linkin Park almost always occupies multiple spaces on that genre-specific list, and at the moment, From Zero rockets from No. 27 to No. 15. From Zero Previously Hit No. 1 on Every List The band sent From Zero to No. 1 on each list where it can currently be found. The title has spent at least 30 weeks on all four rankings, and so far, it's spent the most frames on the Official Rock and Metal Albums tally, with 38 stays. Hybrid Theory, Papercuts and Meteora Four different full-lengths from Linkin Park appear on the charts in the U.K. Hybrid Theory lives on half a dozen, and like From Zero, it returns to three of them while rising on the other trio. Papercuts, a compilation the group shared only months before announcing From Zero, climbs on two rosters, while Meteora shoots from No. 22 to No. 19 on the Official Rock and Metal Albums list.

Searchlight strikes Chord with $400m deal for ZZ Top music-owner
The owner of song catalogues produced by artists such as ZZ Top and Ellie Goulding is raising hundreds of millions of dollars in a deal with the private equity firm Searchlight Capital. Sky News has learnt that Chord Music Partners has struck an agreement for Searchlight to invest $400m in the company, which is backed by Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading record label. Industry sources said the deal was likely to be announced this week. Chord, which also owns the rights to songs made by Lorde, The Weeknd and John Legend, recently bought a stake in the catalogue of Morgan Wellen. The company is jointly owned by Dundee Partners, a family office, and UMG, with KKR, the private equity giant, having been a shareholder until last year. The sale of KKR's stake took place at a valuation of $1.85bn. It is the latest in a glut of deals involving prominent music rights, with a land grab for valuable entertainment content continuing to drive prices higher. Chord was formed in 2021 and is expected to announce further catalogue acquisitions in the coming months. Sir Lucian Grainge, chairman and chief executive of UMG, said at the time of its Chord stake purchase: "Finding partners who share our passion for identifying iconic songs and recordings that will stand the test of time and deliver long-term growth is essential. "We look forward to creating maximum commercial and creative value for the songwriters and artists in Chord and building for the future." UMG declined to comment, while neither Chord nor Searchlight could be reached for comment.
