Calendar Girls

Calendar Girls the musical has arrived at His Majesty’s Theatre this week for five nights of songs, tears, and a lot of laughs.

Following the death of a loved husband, a group of ordinary women in a Yorkshire Women’s Institute set out to do a marvelous service by creating a nude calendar to raise money for charity.

Every performance continues to raise money for Blood Cancer awareness, featuring soap stars like Laurie Brett from EastEnders, Helen Pearson from Hollyoaks, and Samantha Seager from Coronation Street. To buy tickets go to aberdeenperformingarts.com
