Calendar Girls The Musical

The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women's Institute to do an extraordinary thing. 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 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 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.

With unforgettable songs, every performance continues to add to the millions already raised for charity and also prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.

In their 90th Anniversary year, Newark Amateur Operatic Society present their autumn production of Calendar Girls The Musical. NAOS perform a second show each year at this smaller venue but continue to have big success there. Previous productions of Avenue Q and Ghost The Musical were NODA award winners and productions regularly sell-out there including their recent run of Beauty and the Beast.
