Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 hit musical KATHY AND STELLA SOLVE A MURDER! returns in new expanded version

It has been announced that a new expanded version of Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder!, the sell-out smash hit of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022, will return this year for a four week run at Underbelly  at the Edinburgh Fringe from 2-27 August before touring to Bristol Old Vic and HOME Manchester.

The acclaimed original cast will reprise  their roles in the hilarious murder mystery musical including Bronté Barbé (Newsies, Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre) as Kathy, Rebekah Hinds (Oklahoma!, Young Vic/ West End)  as Stella, Jodie Jacobs (Rock of Ages, West End) as Felicia, TJ Lloyd (Guys and Dolls, Sheffield  Crucible) as Justin and Imelda Warren-Green (Doctor Who: Time Fracture) as Erica. 

This big-hearted, laugh-out-loud musical originally brought to the stage by Francesca Moody  Productions reunites the writing and musical talents of Jon Brittain and Matthew Floyd Jones who  previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed, Fringe First award-winning A Super Happy  Story (About Feeling Super Sad).  

“This is impossible! We’ve got no motives. No suspects. We don’t know anything! Who knew  solving a murder would be so hard?”  

BFFs Kathy and Stella host Hull’s least successful true crime podcast. When their favourite  author is killed, they are thrust into a thrilling whodunnit of their own! Can they crack the case  (and become global podcast superstars) before the killer strikes again...? 

Francesca Moody said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Kater Gordon, Wessex Grove and  Fiery Angel to bring back this joyful, irreverent, and side-splittingly funny musical in an expanded, ambitious new version. Returning to the Edinburgh Festival always feels like coming  home for FMP and we're delighted to be able to share Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder! with  audiences in the Underbelly's The Udderbelly as well as at Bristol Old Vic and HOME, Manchester in the autumn. Jon Brittain and Matthew Floyd Jones’ have created a musical filled  with ear worms and so many gags you won’t have time to take breath – we can’t wait to see you  there – it would be a true crime to miss it!”
