Adapted from the play and original film it is based on a true story about a group of ladies who decided to appear in a nude calendar in order to raise money to buy a settee for the visitor’s room of their local hospital in memory of one of their husbands who died of leukaemia.The musical shows life in their Yorkshire village and ultimately how they became a global phenomenon. The show was co-written with Gary Barlow. In March 2015 a workshop production was performed in the village hall in Burnsall, North Yorkshire (where the original story took place) originally titled THE GIRLS, it premiered at the Leeds Grand theatre before moving to the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End, and touring nationwide under the title Calendar Girls The Musical.
