Calendar Girls The Musical is an award winning global phenomenon, packed full of unforgettable songs, deeply moving themes and proving that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman!
The death of a much-loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire town Women’s Institute to do an extraordinary thing. Blasting away all preconceptions of what it is to be in the WI, they decide to make an artistic nude calendar to raise money for charity.
Upturning preconceptions is a dangerous business and none of them expect the emotional and personal ramifications that follow but, gradually, the making of the fabulous and funny calendar causes each of the women to unexpectedly blossom.
Presented by Artz Productions, this true story launched a million copycat calendars, a record breaking movie, a stage play and a musical written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow, who coined the term “craughing” – the act of crying and laughing at the same time.
