In Conversation with MAUREEN NOLAN discussing Calendar Girls The Musical at The Lowry, Salford
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!We interviewed Maureen Nolan who is starring in Calendar Girls The Musical at The Lowry, Salford (January 16th - 20th 2024).
With unforgettable songs, every performance of Calendar Girls the Musical continues to add to the millions already raised for charity and prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.
Following the death of a much-loved husband, a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women's Institute are prompted to do an extraordinary thing and set about creating a nude calendar to raise money 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 story of the Calendar Girls launched a global phenomenon: a million copycat calendars, a record-breaking movie, stage play and now a 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 prove that there is no such thing as an ordinary woman.
