Calendar Girls The Musical is hitting the road for a new UK tour- here’s all you need to know.
With music and lyrics from Gary Barlow and a book from Tim Firth, Calendar Girls (previously titled The Girls) is based on the 2003 film of the same name.
Inspired by a true story, this brand new production of the musical follows a group of middle-aged Yorkshire women who produced a nude calendar to raise money for Leukaemia Research.

Following the death of a much-loved husband, a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women’s Institute are prompted to do an extraordinary thing and set about creating a nude calendar to raise money for charity.
But upturning preconceptions is a dangerous business and none of the women are prepared for the emotional and personal ramifications they will face as the fabulous and funny calendar brings each woman unexpectedly into flower.
