Actress Bex Hinds, who plays Stella, says she is excited to bring a musical about northerners to the West End
"We're two northerners singing about true crime, we really didn't think it would make it to the West End," says Bronté Barbé who plays Stella. Olivier award-winning producer, Francesca Moody, who also produced Fleabag, says that because the show is about a pair of outsiders, it "feels even more rewarding to be bringing greater representation to the stage with this musical".Kathy and Stella are two misfits who became friends over their shared love for true-crime
"My friends are the loves of my life and so it feels right to be championing platonic friendship that can be some of the strongest and steadiest love in your life," Hinds says.A movie passes the Bechdel Test if there are at least two named female characters that have a conversation with one another about something other than a man.
It has since been "scaled up and made bigger and better" for runs at the Bristol Old Vic and Manchester's Home.Talking about how much of the play has changed for its West End run, Barbé says that "we've been able to flesh out some of the characters more, but also there are some bits that are identical to how they were day one of the Fringe festival".
Moody adds that even though "we've gone bigger" the show "hasn't lost the silliness of small theatre" and "is still being held together with Pritt Stick and Sellotape."The musical was originally a "pandemic project" and was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringeabout Two Strangers - a new rom com musical about two twenty-something strangers meeting ahead of a wedding has impressed critics.
