What's On Stage is reporting that NEVER FORGET, the new musical based on the greatest hits of nineties boyband "Take That", has extended its season at the Savoy Theatre until November 15th 2008. After that it will move on to another West End venue for Christmas and an open-ended run into the new year.
NEVER FORGET opened on May 28th 2008 (previews from May 7th) at the Savoy Theatre, where it was previously booking until October 25th.
The musical centres on the members of the unlikeliest Take That tribute band and follows the rollercoaster journey of young Gary Barlow-like hero Ash (Dean Chisnall) and his mates (Craige Els, Stephane Anelli, Tim Driesen and Eaton James) in the pursuit of their dreams. Along the way, each of them discovers that pretending to be someone else can sometimes help you find out who you really are.
NEVER FORGET includes Take That chart-toppers such as "Relight My Fire", "Pray", "Back for Good", "Babe" and the title number. The Take Thatters are joined in the 28-strong cast by Sophia Ragavelas, Joanne Farrell, Teddy Kempner and Marilyn Cutts, as well as 20 members of the Never Forget children's choir who accompany them in the finale.
NEVER FORGET has an original book written by TV's Danny Brocklehurst (Shameless, Clocking Off), Guy Jones and Ed Curtis, who also directs. The production is designed by Christopher Woods and choreographed by Karen Bruce, with Mike Dixon as musical supervisor. It's produced by Tristan Baker, Bronia Buchanan and Charlie Parsons in association with Jason Haigh-Ellery.
