    15 February 2010 AUSTRALIAN CALENDAR GIRLS ANNOUNCED Leading Australian theatre producer John Frost today announced the all-star cast of women who will bring the British hit comedy CALENDAR GIRLS to life on the Australian stage, with the Australian Première at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre, Brisbane. Australia’s “Calendar Girls” are Lorraine Bayly, Rachel Berger, Rhonda Burchmore, Cornelia Frances, Jean Kittson, Anna Lee and Amanda Muggleton. John Frost said, “We searched far and wide, talking to nearly every actress of ‘a certain age’, and have found an incredible group of woman to bring the most successful British comedy of the past decade to the Australian stage. Calendar Girls is not only hilarious but also profoundly moving and uplifting. UK audiences couldn’t get enough of the show and we’re sure Australian audiences are going to fall in love with it too.” CALENDAR GIRLS is based on the very successful film of the same name starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, which in turn was based on an uplifting and inspiring true story that is quirky, poignant and hilarious. A group of ordinary middle-aged women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute, do something quite extraordinary. They spark a global phenomenon by persuading one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference! As interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves revealing more than they'd ever planned... CALENDAR GIRLS has played to sold-out audiences on the West End for well over a year, and is the fastest selling regional tour in British theatre history.
