Bad Girls - The Musical takes as it's starting point the original core characters from the first three series of Bad Girls on TV. Set in the fictional HMP Larkhall, it's the story of new idealistic Wing Govenor Helen Stewart and her battles with the entrenched old guard of Officer Jim Fenner and his sidekick Sylvia Hollamby. It also follows the love story that develops betweeen Helen & charismatic inmate Nikki Wade. Other featured characters include Shell Dockley & her runner Denny Blood, old-timer Noreen Biggs, The Two Julies & 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 & 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, the race is on for the women to nail Jim once and for all.
