Take That’s musical The Band is on at the Empire all this week
7 years ago
Take That fans, the week you have been waiting for has arrived, the music from your favourite boy band is about to be brought to life, on stage at the Liverpool Empire.
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, we are reunited with the group of friends, now 40-something women, as they try once more to fulfil their dream of meeting their heroes.
The show features the music of Take That, Britain’s most successful boyband of all time, whose songs include Never Forget, Back for Good, A million Love Songs, Greatest Day, The Flood, Relight My Fire, Shine & Rule the World.
Last year it was revealed that the musical had become the fastest selling musical in the UK of all time, and if the reviews are anything to go by then we understand why.
It stars AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Curtis T Johns, Yazdan Qafouri and Sario Solomon – FIVE TO FIVE, the winners from the BBC’s Let it Shine who with a live band and a cast of 16 present this hugely anticipated production created by the team behind the magnificent Take That live concerts.
You can see The Band at Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 23rd January until Saturday 3rd February.
