The Sainsbury Singers presents Bad Girls – The Musical
Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at 7:45 PM – 10:00 PM
Bad Girls the Musical is a powerful, uplifting and raucously entertaining British musical set in the fictional HMP Larkhall.
It introduces us to an anarchic bunch of women on the edge and up against the odds – each with a story to tell of lives left behind and dreams of a better future ahead, and an entrenched old guard of prison officers out to dash their every hope.
The new idealistic Wing Governor Helen Stewart battles with the entrenched old guard of Officer Jim Fenner and his sidekick Sylvia Hollamby.
It also follows the love story that develops between Helen and charismatic inmate Nikki Wade.
Other featured characters include Shell Dockley and her runner Denny Blood, old-timer Noreen Biggs, The Two Julies and the ultimate Top Dog, King-of-Gangland’s missus, Yvonne Atkins.
A tragic death on the wing – in which Jim Fenner is implicated – leads to an angry protest from the women and forces Helen and Nikki to their opposite sides of the bars. When it’s clear that Helen stands to lose her job over Fenner’s misdeeds, the race is on for the women to nail him once and for all.
Full of big songs and characters, Bad Girls is an exhilarating mix of gritty reality, rebellious spirit, emotional honesty and irreverent humour that touches hearts and kicks up a riot.
This is a community production of Bad Girls presented by The Sainsbury Singers.
