Smacks of desperation, as does the Baz publicity. Jesus Christ who is paying him to push this?

Wonder what records they are? They do seem to be persisting with these bold claims

They seem to be relying on tweets hinting that someone “special” is going to be in attendance, which has worked for Tuesday this week, and they’re now doing it for Monday (some of the special people who can’t go on Tuesday are apparently going Monday instead, would you believe it).
What will they do for Wednesday where there are swathes of stalls seats available?

They had a competition to win a pair of tickets for Tuesday. The entries were "so good" that lots have ended up winning. Most people in fact. I know loads who have. Not that it's a bad thing giving tickets away. I wish other shows were as generous, but they're definately wanting the hardcore Take That fans in for Press Night.

Maybe the box office record is most ever freebies given away?

Perhaps it's just my imagination, but I'm sure the advert I keep seeing on the side of buses has changed. This is now, in huge letters, the new Take That musical, with a picture of the three boys and Robbie.
It seems to be working, because there is very limited availability at the Lyceum, the first stop after Manchester, with almost no seats available for Friday and Saturdays.
And for the record, I was only looking out of curiosity...but then again, all those ladies!

Sounds like the ones that have been plastered all over Manchester for weeks |

Having now seen the production photos, can someone explain what the ugly grey screens are?

Does anyone have a song list for this?
Do hope Babe (full length version) is in it!
Would also quite like to hear Promises as was the first TT song I remember, but guess that's unlikely.
Going on Saturday. Wondering if will be the first performance in my life that I've not turned my phone off for. #ifyoucan'tbeat'em

According to programme (they are not listed in show order which is annoying)
A million love songs
Back for good
Could it be magic
Do what you like
Get ready for it
Greatest day
Hold up a light
It only takes a minute
Never forget
Patience
Pray
Relight my fire
Rule the world
Said it all
Shine
The flood
The garden
These days

Could it be magic wasn’t in it was it? I was waiting for it, it never happened! I assumed Barry didn’t give his blessing. Unless I had one of my blackouts and missed it  |

So much confusion on their Facebook page where they've just posted tonight is opening night. Cue lots of fangirls all writing " but i saw it the other week, what's going on?"

Every month so far they've been tweeting constantly.
Press night and apart from "good luck" messages from everyone... nothing.
Take That were on the red carpet
Still nothing. Strange.
Feast or famine.
