Centre Stage Productions will bring the official Take That musical ‘The Band’ to the Gaiety Theatre in October 2025.
The news follows the recent announcement that Gary Barlow is set to perform at the Villa Marina next April to start off his new UK and Ireland tour.
Centre Stage, a musical theatre society based in the Isle of Man, is a subsidiary company of the long-standing Manx Gilbert and Sullivan Society.
They most recently produced School of Rock which received rave reviews when it played at the Gaiety in October 2024 with over 40 young performers aged 8-17.
The Band
Initially announced in May 2024, Titanic was poised to set sail, but a fresh opportunity to bring something vibrant, dynamic, and undeniably fun to the Isle of Man stage was too good to miss.
The decision was made possible by the recent availability of licensing rights for The Band, giving the society the chance to bring a show packed with energy, heart, and some of the most iconic music in British pop history.
Chairman Adrian Cowin said: “At Centre Stage Productions, we are committed to creating unforgettable experiences for our audiences. While Titanic initially seemed like the right choice, the opportunity to bring The Band to the stage was one we couldn’t resist.
“Featuring the timeless music of Take That, The Band tells a heartfelt story of friendship, dreams, and second chances. This exciting production combines feel-good energy, emotional depth, and a celebration of music that has resonated with generations.
“As always, we remain dedicated to providing the island with exceptional entertainment while nurturing local talent both on and off the stage. We can’t wait to share this spectacular show with you and invite everyone to join us on this incredible journey!”
The production will take place in October 2025 with preparations beginning in early 2025.
Audition materials will be released soon, offering local performers a chance to step into the spotlight in this extraordinary show.
