Take That hopefuls audition for musical

Dozens try out for starring role

Take That

Aspiring Robbies and Garys turned up today to open auditions for a new West End musical about Take That.

Entitled Never Forget, the show is a fictional account of a Take That tribute band and features their greatest hits.

Although the real Take That have refused to endorse the production, it didn't stop hopefuls queuing for the auditions in London's Covent Garden.

At the head of the queue was Craig Edgley, 17, who set off from his home in Grantham at 6am, accompanied by his mother Jackie.

She confided that her young lad doesn't really remember the early Take That hits, but he's familiar with the new ones.

'This is my first ever audition so I am a little bit nervous,' Craig told ITV.com.

'I've come down with my mum, she is a massive Take That fan.'

Bless his cottons.
