After the huge prime-time success of the Let it Shine talent show on BBC1, the final band members have been chosen. Over the weeks, Gary Barlow and his merry band of judges that included Martin Kemp, Dannii Minogue, guest judges and his two Take That bandmates Mark and Howard backstage, we finally know that ‘Five to Five’ will feature front and centre.
From Wednesday 11th to Saturday 28th April 2018 The Band will be playing at the Bristol Hippodrome. The Band itself will be played by AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Yazdan Qafouri Isfahani, Curtis T Johns and Sario Watanabe-Soloman. Playing the parts of Rachel and Young Rachel will be Rachel Lumberg and Faye Christall respectively.
The producers made the announcement yesterday, Sunday 2 April, on stage at the Manchester Apollo (where Take That first performed in 1992), following a rapturous reception to a rehearsed reading of the new musical in front of an audience of invited guests, from fans to friends.
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.”
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 Band will be produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Robbie Williams.
