Has anyone seen Calender Girls or Shawshank Redemption on stage? If you have, what did you think?

Sorry, no - walked out of the last play I saw but it was neither of these.

Edit: Have you looked on "West End Whingers"? I know you can find plenty of reviews online and you would probably prefer a more personal recommendation (or warning!), but I find theirs really funny. You would have to go back some way, though, to find these two, as they are in chronological order, most recent first.

That was me! Did anyone actually go and see that yet? - I wonder if it was as excruciating as the review made out.

So it was! Btw, I know this is a thread about films turned into plays, but apart from that, has anyone got a recommendation for a good theatre play I could take my German friend to? Can only find weird stuff or stuff I have never heard about. Personally, I would prefer a musical anyway but not sure she is into that.

Phantom of the Opera and The Jersey Boys are both brilliant, I personally didn't rate wicked 6/10. I too love musicals.
I think Tufty is going to see Breakfast at Tiffanys very soon so she will be able to feed back. Have fun
