A musical based on the songs from Take That is coming to Buckinghamshire.

Greatest Days, named after the hit song, will visit Milton Keynes as part of its nationwide tour.

The theatre production will mark 30 years since Take That’s first UK number one single, Pray, and will feature 15 of the band’s greatest hits.

The musical follows a group of five best friends in the 1990’s who share an obsession with Take That, who split up in 1996 before mounting a major comeback in 2006.

The girls then reunite more than 20 years later with hopes to see their favourite musicians perform one last time for the Greatest Days of their lives.

The show's official synopsis says audiences can expect "a heart-warming and hilarious story of love, loss and laughter".

Take That, now consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, released a short statement about the musical, in which they said they “couldn’t wait” to bring it to the stage.

They said: "We are so thrilled that this new production now titled Greatest Days is launching next year.

“We had an enormous amount of fun working on the original version and can’t wait to help bring this new production to over 30 cities across the UK and Ireland from May 2023."

Previously titled The Band, the show was originally performed in the UK, including on London’s West End, from 2017 to 2019 and broke box office records.

With a book by playwright Tim Firth, the tour will coincide with the release of an official movie version of the musical in summer 2023 which stars Aisling Bea and Jayde Adams.

The show will run at the Milton Keynes Theatre from July 3 to 8, 2023.
