Based on the iconic TV series, the show follows the fall and rise of fabulously flawed captain’s wife Tanya Turner as she schemes to save her marriage and the career of her cheating husband. Rewind to 2002 when Premier League Football was the new Rock ‘n’ Roll – with the money, glamour and bad behaviour to match. With cracking music and lyrics by Kath Gotts (Bad Girls The Musical) and book by Maureen Chadwick (original creator of Footballers’ Wives, Bad Girls and Waterloo Road) this brand new British musical is primed for kick-off.
TRIGGER WARNING/SPOILER ALERT: Contains scenes of an adult nature, smoking, drug-taking, noughties’ fashion, attempted murder, offensive language, outmoded attitudes, sexual impropriety, drama, heartbreak, comedy, singing, dancing – and absolutely no football!
