They are back for good! Not in concert, not on TV, but as the official musical featuring all of its record-breaking songs! Having started performances only a few days ago in what will be an extensive tour around the UK and Ireland, Greatest Days has launched today a first sneak peek into the production. Take That fans might as well get ready for it, as the run will coincide with the summer 2023 release of the film adaptation, starring Aisling Bea and Jayde Adams.
