Book now for Who Killed Marilyn?, an explosive new play starring Pixie Lott as Marilyn Monroe.

Who Killed Marilyn? in London

Opening at the Emerald Theatre is bold new play Who Killed Marilyn?. Written by Sharleen Cooper Cohen and directed by Philip Wm. McKinley, this play takes a closer look at one of the twentieth century’s most enduring mysteries.

This explosive new production turns what we know about the star’s untimely death on its head by drawing on decades of documented evidence, conspiracy and cover-ups.

Discover Marilyn as the woman she was, one of extraordinary intelligence and wit. Even so, she was caught up in a web of power and politics that reached the highest levels of government and organised crime.

Pixie Lott (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Made in Dagenham) will star as the Blonde Bombshell herself, Marilyn Monroe.

Who Killed Marilyn? plays a strictly limited run from 15 August – 29 October 2026.
