Review: Kym Marsh and daughter Emilie Shine in Take That musical Greatest Days

For anyone who ever adored a boyband growing up, Take That musical Greatest Days is a wonderful chance to revel in those feelings once again. When this show was first launched by the band in 2017, they hailed it their "love letter to the fans" and it certainly remains that.

Indeed, the boyband who are brought to life in this new production utlimately play second fiddle to the fans - it is their story that is centre-stage. The anonymous five lads (they're never actually named as Take That or as individuals in the show) become like a Greek chorus, shaping the lives of the besotted young girls.

We are transported back to the 1990s, to a time when taping your favourite song off the radio and plastering Smash Hits posters in your school locker was still a thing.
