Take That Musical to Open

The full details of a Take That musical set to hit the West End later this year have been announced.

The stage show, entitled “Never Forget”, is based on a fictional Take That covers band and features stage versions of some of their biggest hits.

Tickets for the opening run of the production, which will play at theatres in Manchester, Cardiff, Stoke, Edinburgh, Glasgow and then London, go on sale from Wednesday.

The producers behind “Never Forget” hope to recreate the success and acclaim of West End shows such as “Mamma Mia” and “We Will Rock You”.

Tristan Baker from the musical 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.”

“Never Forget” has been written by former “Shameless” contributor Danny Brocklehurst.
