The new stage play, written by journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, mixes dark humour with suspense as it brings the story into the modern era of social media.
It follows Allie, a recently divorced mother trying to balance single parenthood with launching a tech startup.
When she advertises for a lodger to help manage her expenses, she meets her new roommate Hedy – but what starts as a perfect arrangement soon takes a dark turn.
Kym said: "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."

Inside Soap Awards nominations in full as major category returns after six years

Soap lovers are gearing up for the 29th year of the Inside Soap awards with Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, and Hollyoaks dominating the nominations list The Inside Soap Awards are officially back for their 29th year and it's shaping up to be a competitive season, as Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks dominate the list of nominees. The awards celebrate the soaps with the biggest storylines, most iconic characters and most emotional exits from the past 12 months, and winners are voted for entirely by the show's fans. Viewers of all major UK soaps, including daytime dramas Home and Away and Neighbours, have the final say in who takes home the coveted trophies. ‌ This year's nominations are led by some of the most talked-about plots in recent soap history. On Coronation Street, Debbie Webster's devastating dementia diagnosis struck a chord with viewers, while EastEnders made fans emotional after witnessing Phil Mitchell's mental health struggles play out on screen. ‌ In Emmerdale, Robert made waves after crashing Aaron and John's wedding, and Hollyoaks shocked audiences with a gripping and sensitive storyline around teen sexual exploitation. Inside Soap magazine editor Sarah Ellis has spoken about the upcoming ceremony, sharing: "The Inside Soap Awards remain the only trophies of their kind to be voted for entirely by the real experts – the soap viewing public. ‌ "Over 90,000 soap fans vote each and every year; and in addition to our list of nominees, our Soap Superstar category allows readers to put forward their own suggestions of who they feel deserves to be honoured. "The past 12 months have been an epic time in soap, and I can't wait to see who the readers of Inside Soap have decided to crown their favourites this year." ‌ Also making a return this year is the fan-favourite Best Exit category, which honours the most emotional and unforgettable goodbyes that took place on screen, whether caused by the death of a character or them simply moving on to new ventures. Ellis added: "Sadly, we've had to say goodbye to some truly beloved soap characters over the past 12 months. Who didn't cry their eyes out at Martin's shock death during EastEnders' live episode? And we're still not over poor Craig's tragic demise in Corrie, or the loss of Leyla and Amy in the devastating Emmerdale limo crash. But it's up to the fans which exit will get their vote." Voting for the Inside Soap Awards 2025 opens at midday on Tuesday, July 8, and winners will be announced at a star-studded ceremony in London this September. ‌ Fans can vote online by visiting or by filling in the voting form in the Inside Soap magazine.

Coronation Street prison break horror leads to siege and 'death twist'

Coronation Street is lining up yet another drama-packed week next week on the ITV soap, as spoilers confirm a prison escape leading to a siege, as someone faces grave danger There's dramatic and deadly scenes on Coronation Street next week, as more than one character faces danger. A prisoner escapes and sets out on a mission that could prove fatal for one character. As recent events lead to a horrifying point, more than one resident faces peril. ‌ It's a big week for multiple characters and the repercussions of the prison escape leads off into different stories. Elsewhere away from the siege drama, one character is unaware that a fellow resident has feelings for them, there's concern for one youngster leading to a realisation and the battle for No.6 continues leading to a possible discovery. ‌ Kicking things off, villain Mick Michaelis makes an action-packed return to the show next week as he plots to escape with his family. He manages to break out of prison, with images appearing to show he's had a beating. Mick finds out his wife Lou is in trouble and the family is falling apart, so the desperate character takes action weeks on from him killing PC Craig Tinker. We see him in his cell reading messages on his burner phone, and it's clear he's in contact with his son Brody. Brody arrives at Tim and Sally's wanting to collect his sisters Joanie and Shanice, while Sally tells him that Tim is taking Joanie to a taster day at Weatherfield High. Brody panics, and lets Mick know there's an issue. ‌ At the school Joanie is left in tears over some hurtful comments made about her parents, so Sally is called to collect her. But Mick has no idea and heads to the school to get his daughter, threatening Daniel and Mrs Crawshaw before locking them in the office and fleeing. Lou meanwhile is questioned by the police who demand to know what Mick is planning, while she denies knowing about the escape. Back on the cobbles, Sally offers Joanie a tour of the factory while the girls are at the pub. ‌ With news of Mick's escape revealed, his nemesis detective Kit Green heads to the street but can he stop Mick from doing anything stupid? It seems something happens and Mick could hurt Kit, while either way the latter is left in a bad way. Rushed to hospital, his family are left fearing he might not make it as he has to undergo life-saving surgery. It comes after his showdown with Mick, but will he pull through and what has actually happened? Brody goes AWOL after events and Bernie Winter fears for his safety - so has Mick fled with his family? Nothing else is said about Mick and the family, so fans will have to wait and see what comes of it. ‌ It seems Mick's terror at the school impacts other residents, as teen Sam Blakeman is troubled in the aftermath. When Hope revels to Sam's dad Nick Tilsley that his cousin Lily hid in a classroom but wouldn't let Sam in and he was left to fend for himself, he's furious and speaks to his brother David, Lily's dad, about it. ‌ Someone clearly struggling amid the scenes is detective Lisa Swain. With upcoming scenes showing the character attending therapy where she must face her past, and her trauma over her wife Becky's death, it seems Lisa continues to spark concern next week. Carla Connor can't hide her fears for her partner as Lisa acts out of character. There's an incident with a thief, as someone tries to steal from the shop. But as Carla urges her partner to act Lisa completely freezes and can't do anything but watch on. Aadi soon tells sister Asha that he was threatened and forced to empty the safe. When the police arrive to ask what happened, Aadi explains the robber made off with £6k in cash and says it's a good thing they're insured. But the look on his face and his shifty behaviour leaves stepmother Bernie confused - so is he hiding something? ‌ With that, the end of the week sees his dad Dev Alahan return to the show after months offscreen. As he reunites with partner Bernie and son Aadi he wants to know what he's missed. Back to Carla and Lisa and the immediate fallout of the robbery, and as the thief flees the scene Carla and Lisa look on rattled. But it's something Lisa does, something she wouldn't normally do, that leaves Carla deeply troubled. ‌ She lets the thief run off and doesn't arrest them, frozen in horror, which leads to Carla asking about this. But Lisa shuts down and refuses to discuss what happened, and it's clear Carla is worried about her - so what is going on? Kevin Webster is still keeping up his cancer lie next week it seems, as he assures pal Tyrone Dobbs that he will tell wife Abi the truth about his results once they're back from their weekend away. Soon his sister Debbie Webster is sharing her fears about not being able to live closer to him amid his health turmoil, with Kevin left feeling guilty at tricking his sibling. ‌ It comes as Debbie is furious when her hopes of buying No.6 with partner Ronnie Bailey, after their reunion, fall flat. She hears from the estate agent and learns they have lost out to Carla, who is hoping to move in with partner Lisa and stepdaughter Betsy - while we expect Ryan Connor will have a room in his aunt's new place too. Debbie isn't ready to let it drop though and makes another offer, but Ronnie is horrified and begs her to retract it. Will Kevin be forced to admit to his sister that she doesn't need the house as he's been given the all clear? Finally next week, Aadi is continuing to get closer to Lauren Bolton out of guilt after she drank a drink spiked with LSD recently that was meant for him, leading to her almost dying. He has no idea though that his recent kind gestures have left Lauren developing feelings for him - but will she learn the truth?
