How did that past Take That musical do in London? Never Forget ran for about 6 months on the West End. That's not great, but not terrible either. |

It seems like this has a better 'life' on tour- the kind of show that fans will do repeats for but also will attact the 'once a year' theatre crowd or the 'Hen/Birthday' party crowd as well. I mean good luck to it/them I guess? but it doesn't feel like a longer term London show.

I found the DVD quite enjoyable. It's no the kind of show that's gonna have a big impact, but for a reasonable price, I'd say it would be a fun night out. |

I think I preferred Never Forget. Yes it was a cheesy jukebox musical and I’m not saying it deserved a really long run in the West End but as a Take That fan it was a really fun evening out.

I loved Never Forget. It was cheesy and didn't take itself seriously. Was it a great show? No. But it was a hugely enjoyable night out.

Glad to find some other people who enjoyed Never Forget. It's one of my guilty pleasures. I must have seen the DVD about 5 times by now.

It must be doing well! Despite already visiting for a fortnight at the very start of the tour, The Band is returning to Sheffield for a week in October, "following huge demand".

Well it did sell out every night so actually 'huge demand' would be correct in this case. I enjoyed it and will probably see it again if I can.

^ I wasn't the slightest bit interested last time, but I have to admit I spent yesterday afternoon watching the videos on the website. I'm now seriously tempted.

It may have been full but I’m not sure they actually sold all those seats. I wonder if rhose five kids kids who won the competition are bored senseless by now. Bet they thought it was going to be all tinsel and glamour, and instead their introduction to showbiz is a hard slog round the country as take that stand-ins. |

Maybe they are. One of the two standbys for "the band" tweeted recently that it was their fiftieth show. Yes, the two of them cover all five roles but it's not been running that long.
I'm sure they're getting sick of seeing the same people at stage door every week too!

A transfer to the Theatre Royal Haymarket after the UK Tour seems to be on the cards!

A transfer to the Theatre Royal Haymarket after the UK Tour seems to be on the cards! Is that the news announcement to come on the 19th? Not the cast recording? EDIT: Sorry, not an easy question to answer without a crystal ball. Apologies 😂 |

Maybe a bit of both as Take That have an announcement scheduled for this Friday (please be Robbie rejoining... please be Robbie rejoining....) but there's also a Q&A thing with the Producers and fans planned for next week in London.

Not sure who Carl Woodward is (apart from seemingly being Mark Shenton's new BFF), but he also has the same info - though he seems to have a hatred for the show so not sure why he cares!

Well one thing's for sure -
no-one can accuse the Haymarket of lacking diversity in its programming.

Strange one,,surprised at this, as musicals are normally open run, however this is due to play Dartford, high is just on the outskirts of London. Cannot see both playing at the same time, neither there be 2 seperate companies.
Confused!!!

I agree with PoL - it's odd timing given that it will have just played Wimbledon, and will have Woking, Milton Keynes and Dartford not long after.
Still, stranger things have happened.

Could be a 6 week Christmas filler? According to the website the show ends in Belfast on 24 Nov, and resumes on the road at The Lowry on 16 Jan.
