Once again, we had the opportunity last week to see a show at The Churchill destined for the West End. Never Forget takes up residence in London's Savoy Theatre in a few weeks time and what a treat it will be for Take That fans.

Set in Manchester, five very different lads audition for would-be manager Ron and form a Take That tribute band.

There are two main stars in this show - Dean Chisnall who plays Ash (the Gary character) and Sophia Ragavelas as the gorgeous Chloe. I can honestly say these two are the best young couple I have ever seen and heard singing together.

Individually they are quite excellent too, especially Chloe when she sings "Love Ain't Here Anymore".

I have to thank News Shopper for tipping us off about this show and mentioning the real rain scene which is nothing short of unbelievable. Especially at the end when it spells out Never Forget. You should have been there. Were the real Take That as good as this?

I am no fan but I knew all the songs - especially A Million Love Songs - although a couple of ladies in front of us in row B had obviously been celebrating all day. The audience were up, swaying, singing and having a ball. Could It Be Magic? If not, this is pretty close, guys.
