THE GIRLS ARE BACK! GARY BARLOW AND TIM FIRTH’S CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL RETURNS TO THE LOWRY IN JANUARY
The Girls are back! With even more laughter, more songs, and bigger iced buns! Calendar Girls the Musical makes a welcome return to The Lowry, Salford from Tuesday 16th to Saturday 20th January.
Presented by Bill Kenwright Ltd, Gary Barlow and Tim Firth’s production sees this incredible story continue to bloom with a reimagined book and new music.
Calendar Girls the Musical brings together a stunning cast of music, stage, and television stars. Baring it all in 2024 are Laurie Brett (EastEnders), Helen Pearson (Hollyoaks), Samantha Seager (Coronation Street), Maureen Nolan (The Nolans, Blood Brothers), Lyn Paul (The New Seekers, Blood Brothers), Honeysuckle Weeks (Foyle’s War). They are joined by Liz Carney, Colin R Campbell, Andrew Tuton, Jayne Ashley, and Victoria Hay.
Calendar Girls follows a group of extraordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women’s Institute, prompted to create a nude calendar following the death of a much-loved husband, to raise funds 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.
The true story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon: a million copycat calendars, a record-breaking movie, now celebrating 20 years since its release, the fastest-selling stage play in British theatre history, and now a hit musical. With unforgettable songs, every performance continues to add to the millions already raised for Blood Cancer UK and prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.
Calendar Girls the Musical is at The Lowry, Salford from Tuesday 16th to Saturday 20th January 2024. For more information and tickets visit www.thelowry.com.
