Kym Marsh has been flooded with support as she experienced a 'first' in 20 years amid her next big role. The actress and presenter revealed earlier this year that she's going to be returning to the stage in the new 101 Dalmatians the Musical in which she'll play the Disney villain Cruella De Vil.
This new musical is written by Douglas Hodge (music and lyrics) and Johnny McKnight (book), from a stage adaptation by Zinnie Harris and is reimagined from the acclaimed Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre production in 2022. When fashionista Cruella de Vil plots to swipe all the Dalmatian puppies in town to create her fabulous new fur coat, there’s trouble ahead for Pongo and Perdi and their litter of adorable, tail-wagging young pups.
The musical embarks on a UK and Ireland tour, launching at the New Wimbledon Theatre this month (June) and it will come to Manchester's Palace Theatre for 11 dates between July 30 and August 10, with performances at 2pm and 7pm.

"And the family are all excited, because obviously it's a very family show, if you're going to come to the theatre you can bring the kids, there's something for everyone."
And now, Kym's revealed a bit of her first look at her new gig as
