UK readies for Take That musical

LONDON:

A musical featuring the songs of boy band Take That is to hit London’s West End theatre district, its producer said on March 14. Never Forget, described as a fictional, feelgood comedy about a Take That tribute band, features hit songs like Back For Good and Relight My Fire.

Producer Tristan Baker compared the show, which will play in Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent and Edinburgh later this year before coming to London, to the highly successful ABBA musical Mamma Mia!

“We are the biggest fans of Take That’s music and we are so excited about the opportunity to create a new musical based on the fantastic catalogue of their work,” he added.
