The world premiere stage production of Single White Female starring Kym Marsh is set to hit the stage on its UK and Ireland theatre tour, with dates starting from January 2026.
The show will open at Brighton’s Theatre Royal on Friday 9th January 2026, before embarking on a tour across the UK and Ireland until Saturday 13th June 2026.
Written by author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, the brand-new stage play will see actor and singer Kym Marsh (Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, Abigail’s Party) take on the role of Allie.
The stage production of Single White Female will reimagine the the 1992 Columbia Pictures film and bestselling book by John Lutz, and will be directed by Gordon Greenberg (Heart of Rock and Roll - Broadway, Guys & Dolls - West End, The Baker’s Wife - Menier, NYC).
Produced by JAS Theatricals, ATG Productions and Gavin Kalin Productions, Single White Female will explore just how far we’ll go to find - and keep - family together.
“I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I’d be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage.”

Kym Marsh commented: “I am so excited to be bringing this brilliant, brand new and thrilling play to theatres across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
“I remember being totally gripped by the movie when I first saw it in the cinema and could never have imagined back then that I’d be starring in the world premiere of its life on stage. Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels!”
What can the audience expect?
Allie is a recently divorced mum, balancing being a single parent with the launch of her tech start up. When she decides to advertise for a lodger to help make ends meet, the delightful Hedy offers her a lifeline. But as their lives intertwine, boundaries blur and a seemingly perfect arrangement begins to unravel.
The play will feature dark humour and sharp, suspenseful storytelling as it updates the original story to the age of social media, in a tale of ambition, obsession and the desperate need for belonging in an isolated world.
