Take That musical to visit Birmingham Hippodrome
Tim Firth's new musical, The Band, will visit Birmingham Hippodrome from May 1 to 12, 2018.
The Band is a new musical about what it's like to grow up with a boyband. For five 16 year-old friends in 1992, the band is everything. 25 years on, the group of friends are re-united, now 40-something women, as they try once more to fulfil their dream of meeting their heroes.
AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Yazdan Qafouri Isfahani, Curtis T Johns and Sario Watanabe-Soloman will play the band, who, as Five to Five, won BBC's Let It Shine. Playing the parts of Rachel and Young Rachel will be Rachel Lumberg and Faye Christall respectively. Further casting is to be announced.
Take That said: "We are incredibly proud and excited that our first production as theatre producers is The Band – a musical that we think will touch the hearts of not just our fans, but everyone."
Tickets for The Band go on sale to the general public at midday on Mon 3 April 2017. For tickets, call 0844 338 5000 or visit www.birminghamhippodrome.com
