By: Stephi Wild Apr. 03, 2019
Last night, Tuesday 2 April, four of the original calendar girls, Angela Baker, Beryl Bamforth, Christine Clancey and Tricia Stewart celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of their calendar, at the opening night performance of CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL at Sheffield Lyceum Theatre. They joined the current cast, which includes Fern Britton, Anna-Jane Casey, Sara Crowe, Karen Dunbar, Rebecca Storm and Denise Welch, on stage for a very special bow, cake and bubbles.

CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL is inspired by the true story of a group of ladies, who decide to appear nude for a Women's Institute calendar in order to raise funds to buy a settee for their local hospital, in memory of one of their husbands, and have to date raised over £5million for Bloodwise. This musical comedy shows life in their Yorkshire village, how it happened, the effect on husbands, sons and daughters, and how a group of ordinary ladies achieved something extraordinary.
Bloodwise, the UK's specialist blood cancer charity, continues to receive monies from this production.
CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL continues to tour until November 2019, with new cast members Sarah Jane Buckley, Sue Devaney, Julia Hills, Judy Holt and Lisa Maxwell taking over from 23 April in Southend. Lesley Joseph will play the role of Jessie from 23 April until 10 August in Eastbourne.
