Oh god you are mostly all doing it again, slagging off something that you have no comprehension about. What do you all actually like about theatre?

I imagine they are slightly hesitant in bringing it to London considering Never Forget (the first Take That musical) only ran 6 months at the Savoy and didn't make its money back. I saw it there. I still have nightmares over the drunken women in the audience directly behind me, whooping and yelling (and booing) throughout the show. |

Urgh this is just so depressing. Especially when you consider some great shows tour and don't sell.  |

It might yet be a great show!! *If* it is good and it's getting people to the theatre, then good stuff. But at the moment, I presume there's no prizes for guessing who most of that £2 million may be attributed to. (And no, not an offshore account in the name of G. Barlow!) |

I didn't mean that to say it is a bad show, but shows that have been around for years and are hits of their time and great pieces of theatre tour and get crap business, whilst this was helped along by a TV show (which was basically a giant advert for it - smart) and a band who has one of the most annoying men of 2016 in it (that be Gary - I think the cast aren't as good as me and can't sell the show without me - Barlow) haha.

Amazing what an 8 week advert on the BBC can do.

A friend has just posted "tickets purchased at Birmingham, so much easier than trying to obtain tickets for the Cursed Child!"
What isn't?!

Amazing what an 8 week advert on the BBC can do. Sorry If this looks like I'm bias (which I am anyway). You will find that most of the people that bought the initial ticket are the Take That fans. I think they will buy it with or without Let It Shine. You know how crazy Take That fans are right? This is not like 'Never Forget' that didn't get a support for the band. This one got a whole lots of promos from Take That themselves. Sometimes, I even think they promote the musical more than the new album. I don't know how well it will translate to a general audience but by the sound of it, they are smart to play with their core fan base. A lot of their fans will eat it up as the story line is about them. Nobody know how good the show will be until the opening night. |

The "band" have been saying they're rehearsing but this show doesn't start until September! Seems very early... However maybe not as Take That start their UK tour next month and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were involved!

However maybe not as Take That start their UK tour next month and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were involved! Ive been thinking much the same. A few appearances in the course of the tour to plug the musical |

I think they'll have a regular part in the show.
Around twenty years ago (sorry, I am a major Take That geek) there was a bit in the concert where there was a Take That made up of kids and they had a dance off with the group on stage. I can see them revamping something like that with "the band".

Take That themselves haven't start a rehearsal yet so I doubt The Band is a part of Take That tour. Look like the past 3 weeks of rehearsing is for Sunday workshop to promote the show before a general sale. But I could be wrong.
The early Take That years has a lot of boot camp mentality when it comes to stage shows. So, this maybe a way to prep Five to Five for a real theater performance.

The workshop was yesterday.
TT and the band are randomly filming something in Cannes today. Must be nice.

The WMC'S front webpage has gone a lurid yellow and is promoting this. Nearly burned my retinas out this morning when I casually went over to check dates for something else. At least it doesn't belt out some Gary Barlow when you click on it.
