DAVID Pugh, Dafydd Rogers and Take That have announced that the UK Tour of Tim Firth’s new musical, The Band, with the music of Take That, will have a major UK Tour.

The musical will reach Wales Millennium Centre from January 9 – 20, 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, they 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 played by AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Yazdan Qafouri Isfahani, Curtis T Johns and Sario Watanabe-Soloman, 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.

The show will be produced by David Pugh, Dafydd Rogers and Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams.
