Other leading role credits include Grizabella in Cats at the London Palladium, for which Kerry won a What’s on Stage Award; Nancy in Oliver! and Fantine in Les Misérables.

At the end of 2016 Kerry played Sara in the West End production of Murder Ballad, the European premier directed by Sam Yates to rave reviews alongside Ramin Karimloo, Norman Bowman and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt. Last year, Kerry completed a tour of the UK playing Alice in Frank Wildhorn’s musical Wonderland, which toured the UK. Kerry and Frank are now working on new projects and music together.

Kerry’s stellar reputation means she is in constant demand on the concert scene and she most recently performed alongside Matt Cardle and Samantha Barks.

​Kerry’s chart-topping debut album ‘Anthems’ was produced by Brian May and gave the partnership their first taste of chart success, also collaborating on Kerry’s first major CD Wicked in Rock. This partnership triggered a successful touring career and the duo released their highly anticipated second studio album ‘Golden Days’ in April 2017.

The beginning of 2018 saw Kerry star in her first play, Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, her first non-singing role. Shortly after this, Kerry embarked on a 20th Anniversary UK tour, celebrating the 20 year theatre career. In October 2018, Kerry performed for one night only at Onyric Teatre Condal in Barcelona and as part of Stages At Sea cruise alongside Michael Ball, Beverley Knight and Lee Mead. Most recently, Kerry starred in Raymond Gubbay's Christmas Spectacular and has just returned from Japan, where she made her concert debut.
