Thought there would be more Take That music in the show, we never got to see the band perform. However the show did hang together very well.

A really good play/musical. Very similar genre to Calender Girls! The music was great and a very slick performance by all. Some wonderful “Tim Firth” one liners

An unusual musical story, in which the audience is taken into the imagination of a group of 16 year olds.

Didn’t expect it to be so emotional but absolutely loved the story. The music was obviously great but the signing voices of the cast were amazing. Fantastic show would love to see it again x

A very entertaining and enjoyable night out reliving the days of my youth with a constant flow of Take That hits. The storyline was engaging and did more than just supplement the songs and dances of yesteryear! An extended run is called for to satisfy the middle age audience of, predominantly, the fairer sex!

I was disappointed that the story held together by the songs was quite limp. The production, considering Take That's input and their very professional and impressive staging of their concerts, seemed not as sharp or professional as other West End shows. The sound was terrible. Glad I didn't pay top whack prices for tickets.

Went to the show not quite sure what to expect, but by the interval I was sure this is one of the best shows currently running in the west end! The set is very imaginative and quite frankly, I loved this show and with a relatively small cast, this show will have you up from your seat and dancing at the finale. Great uplifting show, which plays on the emotions throughout. Go see it!

My husband and I agreed that this was one of the best musicals we have seen in recent years. The storyline and acting, the band and music, were just fabulous. I was emotionally drawn into the story and came out on a high! Top marks!

I wasn’t really sure what to expect as I’d booked the tickets because I liked Take That. The story was brilliant! It was funny, sad, and emotional all in one. The acting was excellent and it was really great to see ‘normal’ women in a West End production. Every actor was convincing and brought their characters to life. The sets were fantastic. Very cleverly done. I always judge a play/musical by whether or not I notice the time pass: I didn’t have a clue with this one as it totally consumed all my attention. I would thoroughly recommend it!

The show was fantastic from start to finish, I laughed, cried and sang my heart out. I took my daughter who isn’t old enough to remember the hysteria surrounding Take That, the story isn’t about them it just involves their music, and she said it was one of the best musicals she had seen. Would thoroughly recommend this musical to anyone

We had a nice evening not sure what I was expecting- I actually think the girls/ladies sung better than the boys. One of the boys pronouncingnation was a bit off. A good show
