The Mitford Girls is a musical by Caryl Brahms and Ned Sherrin with music by Peter Greenwell and others.

Devised for 'six beautiful actress singers, a leading man and four young male dancers', the musical is based on material from the Mitford sisters' lives and writings.

After a season at the Chichester Festival Theatre, it transferred to London at the West End's Globe Theatre from 8 October, 1981 to 9 January, 1982. [1] [2]

The original production was nominated for two 1981 Society of West End Theatre Awards, for Patricia Hodge as Actress of the Year in a Musical and Outstanding Achievement of the Year in a Musical for the style and design.
