Gary Barlow and Tim Firth Calendar Girls Musical

Composer Gary Barlow and lyricist and Tim Firth, who is writer of the show Calendar Girls, have been working on a musical version of the stage show.

Firth said the new musical show will be very different: "It would need to be about the town, the women and the husbands. The first workshop for this will be in a church hall, and then we’ll see what will happen to it.".

Firth said he and  Barlow knew each other as teenagers and had already written over 50 songs ‘for women of a certain age’, with about 25% being used.
