West End transfer for Calendar Girls
Calendar Girls, starring Lynda Bellingham, Patricia Hodge and Sian Phillips, is to transfer to the West End’s Noel Coward Theatre for a 12-week run from April 4 following its UK tour.
The show, which opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre this year, is an adaption by Tim Firth from the screenplay of his 2003 film of the same name, which featured Helen Mirren and Julie Walters and won Best Comedy Film at the British Comedy Awards.
The cast also includes ex-Coronation street actress Gaynor Faye, Brigit Forsyth, Julia Hills and Elaine C Smith.
Calendar Girls is directed by Olivier Award-winning Hamish McColl and produced by David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers.
