Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder! releases new production images

Exclusive: Take a first look at the new version of Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder!, currently playing a second year at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Bronte Barbé (Newsies) and Rebekah Hinds (Oklahoma!) play Kathy and Stella, two true crime podcasters who find themselves unpacking a whodunnit around them. In a WhatsOnStage review, Sarah Crompton stated that “its celebration of supportive female friendship and an overriding sense of inclusive mischief make it very appealing.”

The cast also includes Jodie Jacobs (Rock of Ages) as Felicia, TJ Lloyd (Guys and Dolls) as Justin, Imelda Warren-Green (Doctor Who: Time Fracture) as Erica, Jacob Kohli (ensemble, cover Justin), Chelsea Hall (off stage swing), and Sarah Pearson (ensemble, swing).
