Gary Barlow Calendar Girls Article:
=======Take That frontman Gary Barlow has penned a musical based on The Calendar Girls.
The hit singer-songwriter is giving a musical makeover to the heartwarming story of 11 members of the Women's Institute in Rylstone, north Yorkshire, who made an artfully nude charity calendar in 1999 following the death of Angela Baker's husband John from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Their efforts inspired an hit movie starring Julie Walters and Helen Mirren, and a stage show.
The original calendar featured the women posing nude behind strategically placed baked goods and flower arrangements.=

===Gary Barlow became an honorary Yorkshireman today when he revealed details of his new musical based on the story of the Calendar Girls.
The Take That frontman was the surprise guest at a read-through of the show in Burnsall Village Hall, close to where the story of the Rylstone and District WI – whose nude calendar has raised nearly £4 for Leukaemia Research – began 17 years ago. He said the new show would capture both the humour and poignancy of the story.
“Humour, particularly Yorkshire humour, is a big part of this story, it’s a coping mechanism for how people deal with tragedy, and I felt it was important to get that across in the music,” he told the Telegraph & Argus.

==Take That frontman Gary Barlow has penned a musical based on The Calendar Girls.
And he says he has no problem tackling the subject of nudity while giving a musical makeover to the heartwarming story of 11 members of the Women's Institute in Rylstone, North Yorkshire, who made an artfully nude charity calendar in 1999 following the death of Angela Baker's husband John from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Gary, who has been working on the musical for three years with his friend Tim Firth, who adapted Calendar Girls into a long-running stage show in 2008, said there will be nudity in the musical which comes to the The Lowry Theatre in Manchester in January.

==The Take That front man made the announcement to the original "calendar girls" at Burnsall Village Hall in North Yorkshire on Sunday.
The musical tells the true story of 11 members of Rylstone Women's Institute, who posed nude for a charity calendar.
"The Girls" will be at Leeds Grand Theatre from Saturday 14 November to Saturday 12 December.
Calendar Girls - also a hit film and stage show - tells the story of 11 women who posed naked behind baked goods and flower arrangements for the 1999 Women's Institute calendar.
They were raising funds to buy a settee for their local hospital, in memory of one of their husbands - John Baker - who died from non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 1998.
Barlow, who has sold more than 50 million records worldwide, and his childhood friend Tim Firth - who won an award for the Calendar Girls film - said they were "over the moon to have received such an ecstatic blessing" from the original models.
The musical project is backed by the tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire, and money raised will go to leukaemia and lymphoma Research.
