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.
