Based on the 2003 hit film, Calendar Girls the Musical tells the inspiring true story of the ordinary women from a small village in Yorkshire who did something extraordinary.

Following the death of a much-loved husband, the women of Knapely Women’s Institute decide to blast away all preconceptions of what it is to be in the WI and set out to create a nude calendar to raise money for charity. 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 story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon: a million copycat calendars, a record breaking movie, stage play and musical written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow which coined the term "craughing" - the act of crying and laughing at the same time.
