York Stage is set to bring another brilliant movie musical to the Grand Opera House, York, for the first time ever this April.
The true story of the Calendar Girls that launched a global phenomenon is now a beautifully poignant musical written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow.
When the death of a much-loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women’s Institute to do things a little differently for their annual fundraising calendar. Little do they know how much of an impact their daring behaviours will have.
Blasting away all preconceptions of what it is to be in a women’s institute, they decide to do an artistic, nude calendar to raise money for charity. Upturning preconceptions is a dangerous business though and none of them expects the emotional and personal ramifications, but gradually the making of the fabulous and funny calendar allows each woman to bloom.
Be prepared to laugh and cry through a truly memorable evening filled with unforgettable songs proving that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.
FRI 22 APR – SAT 30 APR 2022
