The Band opened at Manchester Opera House in September to critical and public acclaim, with fans dazzled thanks to surprise appearances by Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Robbie Williams.

The musical stars Rachel Lumberg as Rachel, Alison Fitzjohn as Claire, Emily Joyce as Heather, and Jayne McKenna as Zoe. AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Curtis T Johns, Yazdan Qafouri and Sario Solomon, collectively known as Five To Five, winners of BBC’s Let It Shine, star as The Band of the show’s title.

The new musical tells what it’s like to grow up with a boyband. For five 16-year-old friends in 1992, ‘the band’ is everything.

The Band is produced by David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers and Take That’s Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams.
