Whether it's a good time or a bad time, music has the ability to hit you with nostalgia at any moment. Or as Tim Firth, writer of new Take That musical The Band, more eloquently puts it: 'Music is magical. It makes time travellers out of us all.'

The show runs at Manchester Opera House until 30 September and will then embark on a major UK tour. Below, BroadwayWorld has footage from the opening night red carpet, performances and more!
