Talented youngsters from Scala Performing Arts School will Take That and Party when they hit the Bradford Alhambra stage next month.

A group of 40 children from the Horsforth school are appearing in the production of Never Forget, the hit musical based on the songs of Take That.

The young performers will appear as a choir in the finale of the show, which features Take That hits including Relight My Fire, Pray, Take That and Party and the title track, Never Forget.

The cast of youngsters includes Jack Downham, 7, who, is playing the young Robin Hood in Ridley Scott’s new movie about the folk hero, starring Russell Crowe.

Jack’s sister Sophie, 9, seen earlier this year in acclaimed ITV drama Unforgiven, is also in the show, along with nine-year-old Tamsin Mitchell who was in Channel 4 drama Red Riding and played an eight-year-old Kimberley Walsh in the Girls Aloud Party Christmas TV special.

The cast of youngsters also includes Charlotte Thornton, 14, who has recently filmed an episode of Heartbeat; and Luke Causebrook, 10, who is in a TV commercial for Warwick Castle.

Never Forget is at the Alhambra from July 21 to 25. Tickets are available on 01274 432000.
