Marsh said: “I’m over the moon to be playing the iconic Cruella de Vil, has there ever been a more fabulous baddie?!

“Obviously she’s a million miles away from me in real life – and my dogs are very glad about that – but being able to bring to life my take on this renowned character is a real treat. Douglas and Johnny have written this brilliant new musical filled with songs I’m already finding myself humming under my breath.”

It’s been confirmed that Marsh will star in the production during shows in Wimbledon, Birmingham, Manchester and Belfast.

She’ll also appear in the role of Cruella in Newcastle, Southend, Dublin, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Woking and Cardiff.

Marsh will then finish up her run with dates in Southampton, Aberdeen and York, which wraps up on 9 November.

While Tozer will be playing Cruella de Vil in Norwich, Canterbury, Leicester and Wolverhampton.

She said: “I’m going into my wicked era with this dream role – it really doesn’t get much better than Cruella de Vil!

“When they offered me the part, I just jumped at the chance. I love that it’s something people probably don’t expect me to do and can’t wait to create my own version of her for this incredible new musical.”

The production will open on 22 June in Wimbledon and stop off at venues across the UK and Ireland in 2024 and into 2025.

The musical – if you didn’t already know – follows the story of Cruella de Vil, who plans to swipe all the Dalmatian puppies in town to create her new fur coat, leading to trouble for Pongo and Perdi and their pups.

The classic story is brought to life on stage with “with spectacular puppetry, show-stopping choreography, witty songs and irresistible puppies”.
