STEPS icon Faye Tozer will be playing Cruella de Vil in Norwich, Canterbury, Leicester and Wolverhampton, joining the previously announced dates of fellow Cruella Kym Marsh, who opens the UK and Ireland tour in June.

The new musical version of Dodie Smithā€™s classic book, 101 Dalmatians is written by Douglas Hodge (music and lyrics) and Johnny McKnight (book), from a stage adaptation by Zinnie Harris. This classic canine caper is brought to life on stage with spectacular puppetry, show-stopping choreography, hilarious songs and irresistible puppies!

Fayeā€ÆTozerā€Æis probablyā€Æbest-known for BRIT Award winning pop bandā€ÆSTEPSā€Æwho had number one hits with Tragedy and Stomp and have sold over 25 million records worldwide!ā€ÆTheir 10th album The Platinum Collection celebrating 25 years reached an impressive No.1 in the official charts and they have proudly just completed their 10th UK Arena tour.

She said: ā€œIā€™m going into my wicked era with this dream role – it really doesnā€™t get much better than Cruella de Vil! When they offered me the part, I just jumped at the chance. I love that itā€™s something people probably donā€™t expect me to do and canā€™t wait to create my own version of her for this incredible new musical.ā€

After launching in Wimbledon the production will visit Birmingham, Norwich, Canterbury, Leicester, Manchester, Belfast, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Southend, Dublin, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Woking, Cardiff, Southampton, Aberdeen, York, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Oxford and Brighton.
