Gary Barlow set to play ‘very different’ hometown gigs in Runcorn

Take That Singer Gary Barlow has announced ‘A Different Stage’, a series of new theatrical shows which aim to tell his story.

The show will premier at The Brindley in Runcorn, Cheshire on February 10- 15, just a stone's throw away from his hometown in Frodsham, Cheshire.

Created by Gary and his long-time friend and collaborator Tim Firth, the show will see Gary narrate his journey alongside his music.

Gary said: “Now I've done shows where it has just been me and a keyboard. I've done shows where I sit and talk to people.

“I've done shows where I've performed as part of a group. But this one, well, it’s like all of those, but none of them.

“When I walk out this time, it's going to be a very different stage altogether.”

Recently, Gary has turned his attention to the world of theatre, composing the score for the production of ‘Finding Neverland’ and working alongside Tim Firth on ‘Calendar Girls The Musical.’

He has won eight BRIT awards and sold over 45 million records, and co-written and produced music for Sir Elton John, Robbie Willliams and Dame Shirley Bassey.

This show is set to be like no other, in an intimate venue with nothing off limits in a special performance.

Tickets go on sale today, Friday January 21 at 10am here.
