First song and video released from
‘Footballers’ Wives The Musical’
Alice Fearn (‘Wicked’/’Come From Away’)
as team captain’s wife Tanya Turner, sings ‘Don’t Lose It’
Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of its premiere on ITV in 2002 and ahead of a planned stage musical production, Big Broad Productions are releasing a first track from the upcoming ‘Footballers’ Wives The Musical’.
‘Don’t Lose It’ features West End star Alice Fearn (‘Wicked’, ‘Come From Away’) as vengeful and
mercurial team captain’s wife, Tanya Turner.
The track was arranged and produced by Auburn Jam Music. It will be released on 28 January, 2022 and will be available to stream from all major distributors.
A musical comedy noir based on the cult guilty pleasure 1980s TV drama, ‘Footballers’ Wives - The Musical’ has a book by Maureen Chadwick, co-creator of the original TV series, and music & lyrics by Kath Gotts (also co-creators of ‘Bad Girls - The Musical’).
‘Footballers’ Wives - The Musical’ is based around the first TV season, and follows the fall and rise of captain’s wife and old school femme fatale super-bitch Tanya Turner as she struggles to keep her marriage to footballer and lothario, Jason Turner, amidst groupies, meddling club chairmen, deception, betrayal and murder.

Let’s wind back to 2002 when Premier League Football was the new Rock ‘n’ Roll - with the money, the glamour and the bad behaviour to match. At Earls Park FC, the players’ wives are living it to the max. These WAGs have the designer gear, the palatial homes, the ash cars and the handsome superstar husbands - and the press pack on their kitten heels at every turn.
‘Footballers’ Wives - The Musical’ contains scenes of an adult nature and absolutely no football, along with disastrous hen and stag nights, a fairy tale wedding, deception, betrayal, Catholic guilt, and murder – plus a surprisingly happy ending.
It is based on the WBTVPUK series. Produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre
Ventures. Co-producers are Arden Entertainment and Sally Humphreys Productions.

FROM DEATHDROPPLAY.COM
WRITTEN BY HOLLY STARS
BASED ON AN IDEA BY CHRISTOPHER D. CLEGG
DIRECTED BY JESSE JONES
Following rave reviews, a smash hit UK tour and two sold out West End runs, the fabulous killer comedy sensation Death Drop is sashaying back into London for a fabulous third time. The show will open at the Criterion Theatre for limited run from Friday 4 March until Sunday 24 April. Tickets are on sale from Monday 31 January at DeathDropPlay.com.
Described by Attitude as a “killer show” and “rollicking good fun” by The Guardian, this new London residency will also feature some amazing new casting: making her West End debut RuPaul’s Drag Race legend Jujubee and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott-Claus. Together with Holly Stars and a full drag cast in this hilarious murder mystery.
Written by Holly Stars, this "dazzling and delightfully camp comedy" is "jam-packed with hilarious one liners" and guaranteed to provide laugh-out-loud comedy that we all need right now. This show is like nothing you’ve seen ever before!
Jujubee, who is about to star in the BBC’s RuPaul’s UK Drag Race vs The World, said: “I am so excited to be joining the cast of Death Drop in London’s West End. I cannot wait to perform alongside these incredible artists”
Kitty Scott-Claus, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series Three finalist, said: “I am thrilled to be heading back to the West End with the wonderful team at TuckShop! I’ve got some big heels to fill following Courtney and Willam – but luckily I’m a size 10 so I’m used to big shoes.”
TuckShop Creative Director and Producer Christopher D. Clegg said: “We are beyond excited to be bringing Death Drop back for its third West End season. The audiences of this show are wild for Holly Stars' hilarious comedy, and having KittyScott-Claus, who’s first ever drag gig was for TuckShop in Gals Aloud, headlining after her star turn on Drag Race UK is a great full circle moment. To have one of the worlds most beloved Drag Queens Jujubee playing opposite Kitty will make for one unforgettable, fabulous, and fierce night in the theatre!”
It’s 1991 and a gaggle of guests gather on Tuck Island for a soirée like no other. The tension rises as the outrageous guests reveal their suspicious and sordid pasts, and one by one they sashay away, until at the last, nerve-shredding, side-splitting moment the surviving guests find out who-dunnit!
This rampant, raucous, ridiculous romp of a murder mystery serves up all the drama, comedy, twists and turns you’ll ever need!
