It’s 1992 and, for five 16 year-old girls, ‘the band’ is everything. Fast forward 25 years, and the same group of girls, who were once inseparable, reunite in Prague to see their heartthrobs one last time, and try yet again to fulfil their dream of meeting the boy band whose music became the soundtrack to their lives. It’s a story of enduring friendships, loss, love and forgotten promises.

The Band features the music of Take That, one of Britain’s most successful boy bands of all time. Songs include: Never Forget, Back For Good, A Million Love Songs, Greatest Day, The Flood, Light My Fire, Shine and Rule The World to name just a few.
