Gary Barlow would like to write an official Take That musical based on the story of the band's career. You'll remember that the group's tracks were used in an unofficial musical, 'Never Forget', which launched in the West End earlier this year. He says: "We have a musical in us and if we can all agree on which bits of the story to include, we'll have a hit show. It would be good if Robbie got involved. After all, he is part of the story."
Elsewhere in Take That news, the band are not going to change the title of their new album, just because it's got practically the same name as Britney Spears' new album. Take That's is called 'The Circus', whilst Spears' is called 'Circus', and they're both due out on 1 Dec. The group's manager is quoted as saying: "The boys have worked on this for months, like Britney, and we certainly won't be changing the title. When you work that far in advance, it's impossible to know what people will call albums. Erasure had an album 'Circus'. The name is not copyrighted. I doubt there will be confusion. Fans will either ask for the new record by Take That or Britney Spears."
