Photos of Gary Barlow and cast rehearsing new musical The Girls at the Phoenix Theatre

Official rehearsal photographs have been released for Gary Barlow and Tim Firth's new British musical The Girls which runs from Saturday 28 January at the Phoenix Theatre in London's West End.

Based on a true story, The Girls focuses on a group of ladies who achieved something quite extraordinary in their quest to raise money to buy a sofa for the visitor's centre at their local hospital. By appearing in a nude calendar, they raised over three million pounds and became a global phenomenon. The musical will explore life in the Yorkshire village they called home, how their actions affected their families, and how they gained international fame.

Produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and The Shubert Organization, the cast includes Debbie Chazen, Sophie-Louse Dann, Michele Dotrice, Claire Machin, Claire Moore, Joanna Riding, Joe Caffrey, Jeremy Clyde, John Davitt, Soo Drouet and James Gaddas.

The Girls tickets are now on sale.
