Footballers’ Wives The Musical’s studio cast album is released to stream and download from 25 November.
Based on the iconic TV series, the show follows the fall and rise of fabulously flawed Captain’s wife Tanya Turner as she struggles to save her marriage and the career of her cheating husband Jason.
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. Containing scenes of an adult nature and absolutely no football, along with disastrous hen and stag nights, a fairy-tale wedding, deception, betrayal and murder – plus a bucketload of laughs and a surprisingly happy ending.
