Coronation Street's Kym Marsh cast as Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians musical tour

"I’m over the moon to be joining the cast of 101 Dalmatians, playing the iconic Cruella de Vil - has there ever been a more fabulous baddie?" said Marsh.

She added: "Obviously, she’s a million miles away from me in real life - and my dogs are very glad about that - but being able to bring to life my take on this renowned character is a real treat."

Marsh will be taking her puppy-hunting character on tour from 22nd June 2024 to 5th January 2025, with stops planned all over the UK and Ireland.

The tour will kick off at the New Wimbledon Theatre before carrying on to Birmingham, Newcastle, Southend and more.

The 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.
