Summer launch for Take That musical
Never Forget - the much rumoured musical about boy band Take That - has become a reality and will launch a UK tour this summer.
Opening in Cardiff at the Wales Millennium Centre on July 20, the show will also play Glasgow, Manchester, Stoke and Edinburgh, before an expected West End transfer at the end of the year.
The production, which is written by Danny Brocklehurst and will be directed by Ed Curtis, with choreography by Karen Bruce, tells the story of a Take That tribute band and will feature hits such as Relight My Fire, Pray, Back for Good, Babe and Never Forget.
Tristan Baker, producer, said: “We are the biggest fans of Take That’s music and we are so excited about the wonderful opportunity to create a new musical based on the fantastic catalogue of their work. We look forward to creating a legacy with these well-loved songs in the way that shows such as Mamma Mia! have done before.”
