Bad Girls is a fresh, funny and original British musical, based on
characters and stories from the award winning and hugely popular
ITV television drama. It was developed by the creators of Bad Girls, Maureen Chadwick and Ann McManus, in collaboration with composer and lyricist Kath Gotts, and director Maggie Norris. Following
workshops at the Old Vic and the New Players Theatre in London, Bad
Girls The Musical premiered at West Yorkshire Playhouse in June 2006 and
then opened at the Garrick Theatre London in September 2007.
As per the television series, the musical is also set in the fictional setting of HMP
Larkhall and starts back at the beginning of the story in Series 1. The new idealistic Governor of New Wing, Helen Stewart, battles against officers Jim Fenner and
Sylvia 'Bodybag' Hollamby. Interwoven
is the underlying sub-plot of the romance between charismatic life
inmate Nikki Wade and Wing Governor Helen Stewart.
After a
tragic death on the wing (in which guard Jim Fenner is implicated) an angry protest from the women force Helen and Nikki to their
opposite sides of the bars. But when it’s clear that Helen stands to
lose her job over Jim Fenner’s misdeeds as he attempts to deflect any suspicion that falls on him, the race is on for all the women to
nail Jim once and for all.
