Greatest Days

Author(s): Tim Firth and Take That Company: Adam Kenwright

The musical follows a group of five best friends in the 1990’s who are obsessed with their favourite boy band. The girls then reunite more than 20 years later with a plan to see their heartthrobs one last time in what could be the Greatest Days of their lives.

Greatest Days features more than 15 of Take That’s record-breaking songs alongside a heart-warming and hilarious story of love, loss and laughter from the award-winning writer Tim Firth (Calendar Girls, Our House, Kinky Boots).

Greatest Days was originally produced as The Band by David Pugh & Daffyd Rogers + Take That.
