STAGE TUBE: Ramin Karimloo and Kerry Ellis Sing from MURDER BALLAD at West End Live

This weekend, the casts of more than 30 West End shows perform for free in Trafalgar Square! WEST END LIVE 2016 took place yesterday, 18 June (11am-6pm) and today, 19 June (12pm-6pm). One of today's performances featured Ramin Karimloo and Kerry Ellis belting out a tune for MURDER BALLAD. Both performers are set to appear in the UK Premiere of the musical this fall. Watch the performance below!

MURDER BALLAD is currently scheduled to run 29th September - 29th October 2016 at the Arts Theatre. The production is described as:

"Sara, Tom and Michael are three New Yorkers caught in a secret love triangle that could tear their lives apart. Life has not dealt any of them the cards they wanted, and Sara is stuck in the middle, torn between her downtown past and her uptown future. Is the one that got away really worth risking everything for?

But in the true tradition of all great murder ballads, when songs of love-gone-wrong are sung, blood must be spilled. The question is...by whom?

Fresh from making a critically acclaimed killing off-Broadway, Murder Ballad is a razor-sharp tale of modern relationships, abandoned dreams and treachery in the big city. Written by the award-winning Julia Jordan with music and lyrics by singer-songwriter Juliana Nash, this is a boldly brilliant and explosive new musical that's set to be London's hottest new sensation."

Karimloo is best known for playing Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES in London, on tour in Canada, and on Broadway, and the title role in the West End's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, as well as its sequel LOVE NEVER DIES. He also took the stage in PRINCE OF BROADWAY in Japan last year and was recently seen in Manhattan Concert Productions' THE SECRET GARDEN and Vancouver Opera's EVITA.

Kerry originated the role of Meat, in Queen's We Will Rock You and was the first British Elphaba in the West End smash, Wicked, for which Kerry won the 2008 Whatsonstage.com Award for 'Best Takeover in a Role'. She then immediately transferred to Broadway and played Elphaba at the Gershwin Theater for 6 months, where she won the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favourite Female Breakthrough Performance, before returning to London for 6 months in 2009. Her many other leading role credits include Nancy in Oliver! at the London Palladium, Eliza Doolittle My Fair Lady, Ellen in Miss Saigon, Fantine in Les Miserables and Grizabella in CATS.
