Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! is opening at the Ambassadors Theatre next weekend and they have just announced an extra special addition to the show.
They will be running a series of events, post-show discussions, and workshops alongside the show to celebrate and demystify the creative process behind new musicals like this one.
These events will be hosted by special guest hosts including Giovanna Fletcher, Anthony Horowitz, Rosie Jones, Nick Mohammed, Sarah Pascoe, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Kathy and Stella tickets are on sale now.
Highlights will include Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Francesca Moody (collaborators on Fleabag) in conversation about the journey from the Edinburgh Fringe to the West End. Bestselling crime writer Anthony Horowitz will be joined by Kathy and Stella writers Jon Brittain and Matthew Floyd Jones to talk about plotting the perfect crime.
Sara Pascoe, Nick Mohammed, Rosie Jones, and Giovanna Fletcher explore the creation of Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! in separate post-show Q&As on writing, directing, and performance with writers Jon Brittain and Matthew Floyd Jones, co-director/ choreographer Fabian Aloise and actors Bronté Barbé (Kathy) and Rebekah Hinds (Stella).
The writers behind other new musicals such as Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button also come together to discuss the abundance of new homegrown musicals that are currently playing in the West End.
The scheme will also include workshops on writing for musical theatre, led by Jon Brittain (Book & Lyrics/Co-Director of Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! ) and Matthew Floyd Jones (Music & Lyrics) will lead workshops on writing for musical theatre.
Producer Francesca Moody said ‘Kathy and Stella Solve A Murder! has been made over the last four years in what some might consider to be an unconventional fashion. From the Edinburgh Fringe to the West End, an incredible team of creatives and actors have worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to demystify and share the process through a series of post-show discussions hosted by our favourite comedians, writers, and podcasters. Like us, they’ve made their names creating original work both on and off the Fringe – we’re so excited to welcome them to our stage!’
Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder! opens at the Ambassadors Theatre from 25 May – 14 September. Book your Kathy and Stella theatre tickets now online via the LSBO website or at our box office in Leicester Square.
