★★★

Where most jukebox musicals weave their nonsense narrative through the best hits of a band with tenuous abandon, Greatest Days stands apart by seeking story in tone and musical resonance. This is the “official” Take That musical. A cinematic translation of The Band, Tim Firth’s modestly successful West End production from some years ago. Three decades of chart smashers thrust gusto into the heart of a surprisingly melancholic story, singing testament to the power of music to change a broken record.
