Footballers’ Wives: The Musical
Okay, you probably need to keep your expectations of high art in check: Footballers’ Wives: The Musical is unlikely to be noticeably more intellectual than the wilfully trashy ITV series it’s based upon, even if one imagines there might be a splash more irony at play here. But it looks like a good laugh, with Ceili O'Connor and Matt Beveridge playing ruthlessly scheming power couple Tanya and Jason Turner. The musical by Kath Gotts and Maureen Chadwick will presumably at least loosely follow the plot of the series. It’s directed by Anthony Banks, with the legendary Arlene Phillips a big name signing as the choreographer.
