Experience the mystery, the glamour and the raw emotion of WHO KILLED MARILYN?, a bold new play by Sharleen Cooper Cohen, starring Pixie Lott as Marilyn Monroe and directed by Philip Wm. McKinley. Making its world premiere at Emerald Theatre London from 15 August 2026, Who Killed Marilyn? dares to challenge the most enduring myth surrounding one of the twentieth century’s most iconic women.
Drawing on decades of documented evidence, conspiracy and cover-up, the production presents a vivid and provocative re-examination of the life and death of Marilyn Monroe, placing her at the centre of a web of power, politics and desire that reached the highest levels of American government and organised crime.
Joining Pixie Lott are Julie Armstrong, Benjamin Dilloway, Ryan Ellsworth, Martin Hancock, Paul Kane, Rob Maloney, Henry Proffit and Mars Sams, with offstage covers Joshua Ford, Eliot Giuralrocca, Dean Michael Gregory, Emma Haines and Ricky Shah.
