''Never Forget'' is a jukebox musical with a book written by Guy Jones and Ed Curtis, with screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst acting as story advisor, based on the 1990s songs of boy band Take That, written by Gary Barlow. In addition to Barlow's songs, ''Never Forget'' features additional music and lyrics by Barry Manilow, Dan Hartman and Adrienne Anderson, all of which were covered by Take That in the 1990s. The musical's story focuses on the themes of friendship, ambition, love and betrayal among the members of a Take That tribute band, but it is not related to the history of Take That. The title of the musical is taken from Take That's chart-topping〔UK Singles Chart (Chartstats.com ) (Retrieved April 11, 2008)〕 single "Never Forget". The musical ''Never Forget'' premiered at the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, in July 2007 prior to a short UK tour.〔(Description of the show and mention of 2007 tour )〕 The show was nominated for the 2008 WOS Theatregoers Choice Award for Best Touring Production and received generally favourable notices. It then re-opened at The Churchill Theatre, Bromley, England, in March 2008 for a second six-city pre-West End tour.〔(News page from official website, mentioning "six date" tour )〕 The musical began previews on 7 May 2008 at the Savoy Theatre in London and officially opened on 21 May 2008 to generally favourable reviews. The tours and West End production were both directed by Ed Curtis and choreographed by Karen Bruce. The set design was by Bob Bailey, lighting design by James Whiteside, sound design by Richard Brooker and costume design by Christopher Woods. The production closed at the Savoy on 15 November 2008.〔Bamigboye, Baz. ("Baz Bamigboye on the end of Take That....", ) ''The Daily Mail'' online, 2 October 2008〕 The original touring production is available on DVD, filmed on the press night at Manchester Opera House. ==Synopsis== The plot of Never Forget has been through several incarnations since the initial workshop production which toured the UK in 2007. Each version of the script is deliberately different in order to update the setting of the show. When the original production played, Take That had just reformed and the show referenced this. In more recent productions, the charactes have noted the success the boyband have seen since their comeback. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Never Forget (musical)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
