Calendar Girls The Musical

A new production of Tim Firth and Gary Barlow’s musical based on the true story of a Women’s Institute group raising money through a charity calendar.

Based on the play Calendar Girls, written by Tim Firth, and the motion picture, this production brings Tim Firth and Gary Barlow’s musical to the stage in a new production directed by Paul Robinson.

The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women’s Institute to do something extraordinary: create a nude calendar to raise money for charity. As news spreads, the emotional and personal repercussions begin to unfold.
