Photo Flash: First Look at CALENDAR GIRLS in Toronto
Calendar Girls was touted as the "funniest, most uplifting show in London" and now it's coming to Toronto! The show has its official opening night on Tuesday April 19th and will run until May 28th, 2011. This marks the North American Premiere of London's new comedy sensation, based on the British award-winning motion picture which starred Helen Mirren and Julie Walters.
Come and make a date with the Calendar Girls and meet Miss January, Miss February, Miss March, Miss April, Miss May and the seven other members of a very ordinary women's club as they spark an uproar with a charity fundraiser. It's a calendar! But one with a difference. These ladies will drop everything for a good cause!
Fiona Highet stars as Annie and Fiona Reid as Chris, with Kathryn Akin (Cora), Terri Cherniack (Ruth), Barbara Gordon (Jessie), Kyra Harper (Brenda/Lady Cravenshire), Kimberley Rampersad (Elaine), Brigitte Robinson (Marie) and Jane Spence (Celia). The men in the cast will be Dan Lett (John Clarke) and Sweeney MacArthur (Rod) and Gordon Tanner (Lawrence and Liam). Christine Brubaker, Burgandy Code, Susan Henley and Derek Monro fill the company's understudy positions.
