Calendar Girls The Musical
Location
The Link Theatre
About
The death of a much-loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women's Institute to do something extraordinary.
Blasting away every preconception of what it means to be in a WI, they decide to pose for an artistic nude calendar to raise money for charity.
Upturning preconceptions is dangerous business, and none of them expect the personal and emotional ramifications that follow. But gradually, making the fabulous and funny calendar brings each woman unexpectedly into flower.
The true story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon: a million copycat calendars, a record-breaking movie, a stage play, and this musical, written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow. Audiences have coined a word for what happens to them watching it: "craughing" — crying and laughing at the same time.
With unforgettable songs, every performance continues to add to the millions already raised for charity, and proves there's no such thing as an ordinary woman. This is a heartfelt show about community, friendship, love, loss, and pushing your own boundaries.
Directed by Rebecca Lennox
Musical Direction by Deanna Robillard
Originally Produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers & The Shubert Organisation
Based on the play written by Tim Firth and on the motion picture written by Tim Firth & Juliette Towhidi
