Gary Barlow's first West End Musical

This is such a touching story on so many levels and in so many different ways. Absolutely wonderful, the best of humankind, totally inspirational and a fantastic show to experience. I cried, laughed and cried again, thank you.

Went to see the show on Friday 17th with my best friends and really wasn’t expecting it to make us laugh quite so much. Each character has been so well cast they played their roles fantastically. We actually sat just behind four of the original “Calendar Girls” who were in the audience. We laughed, we cried and then we laughed again, brilliant script with just the right level of humour. We are already planning our return visit. The theatre is not too big so you get a real feel for everything around you. Gary B has done himself proud as always – he can do no wrong in our eyes, but also big applause to the scriptwriting, the two elements were so well balanced. If you want to leave a theatre with a real feel good factor then go and see The Girls – a great night guaranteed, and if for any unknown reason you don’t enjoy it then you’ll never be pleased with anything you see

Saw this tonight at the Phoenix Theatre with my mum. It is a must see! You will laugh out loud and you will cry throughout. The cast are fantastic, the songs are catchy and the storyline is meaningful and brilliantly played out! Let’s hope they can keep it going as I want to bring all my friends !!! Lovely theatre too !!

Saw this with a group from a WI from Essex. Fantastic performance. Laughter and tears. Added bonus the original Calendar girls came on stage at the end. Only downside – the seats at the Phoenix not enough leg room!

I was lucky enough to see The Girls last night – absolutely brilliant – funny, moving and most of all so real – fantastic cast across the board – each and every one of them gave it their all and made it such a great evening to attend. A must see and I will definitely be back to see again. As a point of interest I am in my mid 40s and attended with my 19 year old son – he laughed and chortled the whole way through. So many congratulations and good luck for the future to the wonderful cast, Gary Barlow and Tim Firth – the show is pure genius.

Hadn’t seen the film. Wonderful interpretation with humour and sensitivity. Blown away by the music. Can’t stop listening to it. Gary Barlow set it on fire with dare… Keep this running at Phoenix. I want to see it again… Bring it to Scotland so we can all share… If you dare…

I’m a bit of a sceptic when films and plays that have been a success are taken into another category. I’m delighted to have been proved wrong on this occasion! What an amazing experience – even if you’ve seen the Calendar Girls film or play and think you know the plot, you’ve just got to see The Girls. Huge congratulations to everyone concerned. Like the other reviewers, I laughed and cried at the sheer enjoyment and brilliance from every member of the cast. Well done Gary and Tim. Xx

Just got home to Kent after watching The Girls. My god what a great show it was. Didn’t know what to expect but got more than I paid for. It was great. Thanks to the cast, will see you again.

Saw The Girls on February 11th 2017, had tears of laughter running down my face. Truly well done, a great believable cast and would go again.

Simply wonderful – laughed out loud and cried all the way through. Exceeded all expectations – only hope I get to see it again before it ends. Cannot recommend it enough xx

Set resembles oak furniture store sale piled high. You have to be a certain age to appreciate the witty vocals, and more for ladies than the gents, even if there are a few high points to see. But very enjoyable and one of the better shows I have seen.

FANTASTIC. Must see it again. Standing ovation by whole audience. Can’t remember a theatre visit when I have laughed and enjoyed myself so much. Hope it will go on tour. Congratulations to all involved.
