The true story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon, a million copycat calendars, a recordbreaking movie, stage play and now this hugely successful musical. With first-class songs by Take That’s Gary Barlow and a witty but equally moving script by long-time friend Tim Firth, it is a cracker of a show with a warm heart that coined the term "craughing" - the act of crying and laughing at the same time. With unforgettable songs, every performance continues to add to the millions already raised for charity and also proves that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman. This is a non-professional production.
