Charity gala of Take That musical to be held for Elton John AIDS Foundation
A gala performance of Take That musical The Band is set to be held in London for the Elton John AIDS Foundation this December at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
On 4th December, the seats of the stalls at the theatre will be removed and replaced with dining tables for a black-tie dinner which will include a performance of the musical, and an appearance by Take That. Seats will also be available for the show in the circles.
The musical opens in London for a six-week West End run following a UK tour which opened in Manchester in September 2017.
100% of the profits will be donated to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which was founded in 1992 which has worked to 'combat stigma, prevent infections, provide treatment and services, and motivate governments to end AIDS'.
The Band tells the story of four adult friends who reunite to see their favourite childhood boyband in concert 25 years after their last gig, and stars Rachel Lumberg, Alison Fitzjohn, Emily Joyce and Jayne McKenna, plus Let It Shine winners, AJ Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Curtis T Johns, Yazdan Qafouri and Sario Solomon.
The Band, which features Take That's biggest hits, sees writing duo Gary Barlow and Tim Firth return to the West End after they brought their show The Girls to the Phoenix Theatre last year.
The musical is directed by Kim Gavin and Jack Ryder, and produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Robbie Williams.
The Band is at Theatre Royal Haymarket from 1st December to 12th January 2019.
The Band tickets are available now.
