I can't believe that its not in London,they did a rehearsal show at the players theatre, just off the embankment some time ago,but it is only a small venue so couldn't get in. I do love bad girls,but I will not be travelling all that way to see it :thumbsdow

why on earth it goes to somewhere in yorkshire!? what about the two biggest cities? brum and london!?

ive got a feeling it wouldnt be that good, how cheesy is to make a musical of a tv show....i just have a feeling that it wouldnt be good...

I think they will run it there first,to see how many people go, and then if it takes off,do a run in Birmingham and London.I went to the Prisoner Cell bloke H theatre show and it was really good,so well will have to wait and see what the critics have to say.
