Gary Barlow and Tim Firth’s new musical The Girls, based on Calendar Girls, has its première at The Lowry in January and they are looking for a 17-year-old actor to play Tommo, the son of Miss September.

Auditions will be held next Thursday at The Lowry, taken by the show’s director, Roger Haines, and producer, David Pugh. The first auditions will be filmed for Gary and Tim to watch and select actors for a second audition.

The two said: "we want a proper northerner to play this role and where better to look—best of luck lads!"

The Girls is inspired by the true story of a group of ladies, who decide to appear nude for a Women’s Institute calendar in order to raise funds to buy a settee for their local hospital, in memory of one of their husbands.
