THE PITCH

A new British musical based on the iconic TV series following the fall and rise of captain's wife Tanya Turner as she schemes to save her marriage and her husband's career. Rewind to 2002 when Premier League football was the new rock'n'roll – with the money, glamour and bad behaviour to match. Spoiler alert: Contains scenes of an adult nature, drug-taking, noughties fashion, attempted murder, offensive language, outmoded attitudes, sexual impropriety, drama, heartbreak, comedy, singing, dancing – and absolutely no football! 'Gloriously OTT sass with brains and heart' (Musicals Magazine).

With cracking music and lyrics by Kath Gotts (Bad Girls The Musical), and book by Maureen Chadwick (original creator of Footballers' Wives, ITV; Bad Girls, ITV; Waterloo Road, BBC), the show is directed by Anthony Banks (The Girl On The Train, Steel Magnolias) and is primed for kick-off.

THE WARM UP

After first being seen in its early stages at BEAM 2018, and then workshopped at the end of 2019, Footballers' Wives The Musical kicked off the next phase of its development with the release of a Studio Cast Album on 25th November 2022.

To mark the album release Alice Fearn appeared at MusicalCon on 22nd October alongside fellow cast member Simon Bailey, composer Kath Gotts and music producers and orchestrators Joe and Nikki Davison to discuss the creation of the album and preview some of the songs.

And now the transfer window has finally opened up and Footballers’ Wives is heading to the Edinburgh Fringe for 2025.
