Starring:
Beverley Knight
The Drifters Girl description
Faye Treadwell was a powerhouse, a phenomenon, an extraordinary woman. Thanks to her one of the world's greatest soul bands, The Drifters, enjoyed massive success in the charts and critical acclaim for their wonderful tunes. This is Faye's story, told to the accompaniment of a host of dazzling songs including Stand By Me, Saturday Night at the Movies, Under The Boardwalk, Save The Last Dance For Me, and Kissin in the Back Row of the Movies.
What's the plot of The Drifters Girl?
The Drifters were signed up with Atlantic Records, as one of the most popular vocal groups of the times, but even so the highs they experienced were balanced by lows involved in legal problems and personal tragedies. The Drifters' legendary female manager, Faye Treadwell spent three decades fighting to transform the band she loved and believed in into a global brand.
This gloriously uplifting musical follows Treadwell, the world’s first female African American music manager, revealing how she refused to give up on the band. Thanks to her efforts over more than 30 years we're still enjoying The Drifters' unmistakeable sound. Faye Treadwell will always be The Drifters Girl. And boy, do we have an amazing cast and creative team for you!
Beverly Knight plays Faye Treadwell, and Adam J Bernard, Tarinn Callender, Matt Henry and Tosh Wanogho-Maud play The Drifters. The book is by Ed Curtis and the show is inspired by an idea from Tina Treadwell. It has been co-created by Beverley Knight, Adam J Bernard, Tarinn Callender, Matt Henry and Tosh Wanogho-Maud and the fun is beautifully directed by Jonathan Church.
Set design is by Anthony Ward and choreography by Karen Bruce. Costume design is by Fay Fullerton and the orchestrations and musical supervision by Chris Egan. Lighting design comes from Ben Cracknell and the sound design is by Tom Marshall. Video design comes from Andrzej Goulding and Associate Direction from Tyrone Huntley. The Associate Choreographer is Myles Brown. Casting is by Stuart Burt and children's casting by Jo Hawes.
Who is The Drifters Girl for?
The Drifters Girl is recommended for anyone old enough to enjoy the music and understand the plot.

Great music and great night out. Would have been better if they sang a few hits at the end for everyone to sing along and dance to. Please remember to TURN OFF your phone, our evening was slightly spoilt by 2 idiots who insisted on recording and talking, fortunately staff removed them from show but it could have been done sooner.

I'm not a great fan of 'Juke Box' Musicals but this was so much better than expected. I really did not know the story of The Drifters or Ray Treadwell just their music. The cast of 6 were exceptional and actors playing multi-characters worked really well. If you were a teenager of the 1960's/1970's it a must see. The average audience age was more 50-60 but my daughters in their 20's really enjoyed it.

We went to see the show, booking last minute seats. Not disappointed at all, seats were better than we hoped-for. The acting, singing and musicians were all fabulous. The theatre staff also did a good job looking after people, also pointing out things that shouldn't need saying to adults. Excellent show, would definitely recommend.

Review: THE DRIFTERS GIRL a the Garrick Theatre

"The Drifters are like the Yankees", we're told at the beginning of The Drifters Girl, “The line-up may change, but in the end there's only one New York Yankees”. To demonstrate this constantly changing but-never-really-changing line-up, four actors play the various incarnations of the Drifters.

Beverley Knight and the Music of the Drifters Feature in an intriguing New West End Show
by Phil Willmott | Friday, November 1 2019, 08:28
There are two types of jukebox musicals, the term given to shows which stitch together existing hits to tell a story. Some have an original plot, such as WE WILL ROCK YOU, MAMMA MIA and MOULIN ROUGE but equally successful are productions which tell the story of the artists who first recorded the material eg. BEAUTIFUL-THE CAROL KING MUSICAL, JERSEY BOYS and TINA.
