[1]The world of footballer’s wives and girlfriends, which has always been a source of fascination for the public, is being brought to the London stage and will even star real-life WAG Jessica Lawlor, fiancee of former Manchester City star Stephen Ireland. Since the 2006 World Cup, the term WAG has been synonymous with fame, fortune, and ridiculously expensive heels.
Lawlor (in pic) will play a spoilt and fame-hungry WAG Victoria, but she insists that the role is not a ‘real’ reflection of WAG life.
“It’s called WAG - the Musical, but it’s not quite what it sounds like, it’s about women in general, as well as exploring the obsession with the whole WAG culture,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying. “It’s all tongue in cheek. I play an over-the-top character, she’s very bitchy, so it makes it a very fun one to play. I’ve plenty of experiences to draw on. Rehearsals start in May, and I’m pretty nervous. I don’t profess to being the finished article as an actress or singer, I know I’m no Mariah Carey but the show is about fun,” she said.
