The Vagina Monologues - Britain's funniest and sexiest show - comes to The Pomegranate, Chesterfield on 28th September at 7.30pm for ONE night only!

Strictly Come Dancing and Waterloo Road's popular performer, Chelsee Healey makes her stage debut in the tour of The Vagina Monologues, co-starring with Coronation Street's feisty and much loved Vicky Entwistle who played Janice Battersby for 15 years and Clare Buckfield who thrilled and charmed the nation when she skated through to the Dancing on Ice finals.

From Perthshire to Cornwall and counties between, Chelsee performs for the first five weeks of this extensive UK tour which runs from 24th September - 1st December.

This exciting, multi-talented cast gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, brave and thoroughly human stories. It is the ultimate girls' night out. A world-wide hit, from Broadway to the West End, this hilarious show will have you laughing one moment and crying the next.

To book tickets, call 01246 345 222 or visit www.pomegranatetheatre.co.uk.

"See it, even if you haven't got one" - John Peter, The Sunday Times.

Chelsee Healey wowed the viewing public in Strictly Come Dancing when she was the runner up in the recent competition. Playing Janeece Bryant in Waterloo Road since the first series, she is a familiar face on our screens.

Vicky Entwistle played Janice Battersby in Coronation Street for many years but is no stranger to the stage. Amongst her theatre credits she has been on a Hull Truck tour with Like a Virgin and has recently finished a UK tour of Funny Peculiar.

Clare Buckfield is a recent runner up on the hugely popular Dancing on Ice. Her career has encompassed work in both stage and screen beginning with Grange Hill and then 2.4 Children. Her theatre performances include the West End production of Summer Holiday and the acclaimed tour of the Menier Chocolate Factory's Little Shop of Horrors.

"Fresh, funny, beguiling" - The Daily Mail

The Vagina Monologues has always attracted a remarkable cast of national and international stars of the highest calibre. The West End run included such stars as Maureen Lipman, Sophie Dahl, Dannii Minogue and Jenni Éclair. On Broadway, the show has been performed by Glenn Close, Jane Fonda and Whoopi Goldberg.

"Warm, open, exciting, enchantingly funny, liberating" - The Sunday Times

Eve Ensler, the show's writer and creator, has become an inspirational figure throughout the world. Not only has she established the international women's charity V-Day, but she continues to work tirelessly to end violence and abuse suffered by women everywhere.

V-Day receives a portion of the ticket sales from each performance of The Vagina Monologues. Since 2001, the West End and touring productions of The Vagina Monologues have raised over £300,000 helping girls and women in this country to overcome abuse, rape and violence.

Last year Eve Ensler was awarded the Isabelle Stevenson Award, a special non-competitive Tony Award, in recognition of her humanitarian, social and charitable work, and the foundation of the V-Day movement.
