HMOS Theatre Company (formerly Hinchley Manor Operatic Society) are putting on ‘CALENDAR GIRLS THE MUSICAL’ at ADRIAN MANN THEATRE, EWELL, 25th – 27th MAY 2023.
‘There’s a courage you only ever find is there… if you dare’
The passing of Annie’s beloved husband John rocks the tightly-knit community of Knapely. Best friend Chris comes up with her ‘first non-stupid idea’ – a nude calendar to raise money for charity. Can the other members of the Women’s Institute be convinced? Stories of self-realisation, friendship and overcoming fear weave together in this heartwarming musical, written by Gary Barlow & Tim Firth.
One in two people in the UK will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime and so HMOS members are proud to announce that the Society will be supporting Blood Cancer UK and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity during 2023.
The Society welcomes our director Liv Chaffe as she makes her debut with us and we welcome back our Musical Director, Dennis Clark-Hooker, who returns to us after The Likes of Us back in 2009.
‘Calendar Girls The Musical’ is on at the Adrian Mann Theatre, NESCOT, Ewell, 54 Reigate Rd, Epsom KT17 3DR.
Revolving around the music of British band, Madness, Our House follows the story of London lad Joe Casey.
On the night of his sixteenth birthday, an over-excited Joe takes Sarah, the girl of his dreams, out for a romantic evening. On a whim, he breaks into a new building development near his house to show Sarah the view over North London. When the police come, Joe faces a tough decision: to run, or give himself up. It is at this point that the story splits in two as we follow the fortunes, and misfortunes, of Good Joe and Bad Joe.
Featuring:
“Our House”
“It Must Be Love”
“Baggy Trousers”
“Driving in My Car”
and LOADS more MADNESS Hits!
