I went to see The Girls in Leeds and was absolutely blown away by it. The music fitted the story perfectly. Can’t wait to see it again it’s a MUST for everyone.
My friend ( whose been through breast cancer) an I saw it in Leeds on day two and it’s a MUST for ALL to see. Funny, witty etc etc. Cannot wait to see it again. London beckons when the tickets go on sale.
I saw The Girls in Leeds during it’s preview run with my wife and we loved it, it had everything….comedy, tragedy, catchy music, a great cast, clever stage settings etc etc. That night there was a standing ovation from the very diverse audience (men and women, young and old), one of the theatre staff told me it was the same every night. I’d suggest if you only see one show in the next year go and see this one, it’s deserves to be seen.
Went to see it at The Lowery, Just ‘blooming’ brilliant, cant wait to see it again! As must go musical.
Breathtakingly good. You can feel Gary Barlow’s heart and soul running through the music. Flawless performance simply fabulous! A must see!
An absolutely fabulous performance. Totally uplifting and a tribute to the calendar girls. A must see show.
I went to see this musical at Leeds Grand on 23 rd November 2015. A fabulous show. Fantastic cast, songs, music and set. Some very sad moments but lots of laughs. A show not to be missed!
After seeing this on the Yorkshire News do you know when the show will open

Hi Caroline – there are no dates or venues currently announced, we’ll bring you news as soon as we have it.
A group of us who regularly perform in a small town in southern California are ANXIOUSLY awaiting news of when we might be able to perform this. Who should we contact? How I wish I could be in London to attend the première!
