Grand Opera House York
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 they don't realise 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 expect the emotional and personal ramifications, but gradually the making of the fabulous and funny calendar brings each woman unexpectedly into flower.
The true story of the Calendar Girls which launched a global phenomenon, has now been turned into this beautifully poignant musical written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow.
Join us as the show arrives in York for the first time ever and be prepared to laugh and cry through a truly memorable evening filled with unforgettable songs which prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.
Grand Opera House York
Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
