Kerry Ellis stars in UK premiere of Murder Ballad

Full details of a new production starring West End star Kerry Ellis have been announced.

Murder Ballad follows Sara (Ellis), a New Yorker who is torn between her dangerous ex-boyfriend and her reliable husband. Set to pop-rock tunes, the show inevitably ends in tragedy.

The show will receive its UK premiere at The Arts Theatre after running at the Union Square Theatre and MTC's Studio at Stage II in New York.

The show was conceived by Jonathan Larson and two-time Susan Smith Blackburn Prize finalist Julia Jordan, with book and lyrics by Jordan and music and lyrics by Juliana Nash.
