Strictly and Steps star Faye Tozer joins cast of 101 Dalmatians tour as iconic villain
She's stepping into her "wicked era".
Steps singer and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Faye Tozer is putting on her fur coat and joining the 101 Dalmatians musical this summer as iconic villain Cruella de Vil.
Tozer will be sharing the role with Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh on the musical's 22-venue tour starting this June.
Tozer will pick up the part for the dates in Norwich, Canterbury, Leicester and Wolverhampton, while Marsh takes on the rest of the performances in Birmingham, Wimbledon, Southend and more.
“I’m going into my wicked era with this dream role," said Tozer.
"It really doesn’t get much better than Cruella de Vil! When they offered me the part, I just jumped at the chance. I love that it’s something people probably don’t expect me to do and can’t wait to create my own version of her for this incredible new musical.”

This new show will be based on Dodie Smith’s book and follow the same story as the classic Disney movies – a fur-obsessed villain has found her new muse in the form of 101 Dalmatian puppies.
Penned by Douglas Hodge (music and lyrics) and Johnny McKnight (book), and featuring puppets (hundreds of them!) designed by Jimmy Grimes, this musical is sure to be a hit for all ages.
Tozer's announcement also comes shortly after the news that she'll be heading back to the stage this winter to take part in the New Victoria Theatre's (Woking) Christmas panto. The actress will be playing the part of Carabosse in a new production of Sleeping Beauty – more of this in the best UK pantomimes.
