A NEW musical being written by singer Gary Barlow and based on the Calendar Girls will be launched in Burnsall.
Backed by Welcome to Yorkshire, the Take That star is busy writing the stage musical now.
The musical is just one of the highlights of the year for the county, which will also see the three-day Tour de Yorkshire race in early May.
"To have someone of Gary Barlow's calibre working on a Yorkshire musical is amazing and I am sure, like the Calendar Girls film and the stage play, this musical will be a huge success," said Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire.
